7	Blowing the Fuse: 27 R&B Classics That Rocked the Jukebox in 1949 (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Germany's Bear Family Records doesn't do anything half-assed, and the dozen or so volumes in the label's Blowing the Fuse series (which chronicles R&B sides year by year starting with this entry for 1949) are generous (each disc has well over 20 selections), fascinating and full of half-forgotten gems.
