(Blues) Blind Lemon Jefferson (1925-29) [4CDs Boxset]

90 performances by Blind Lemon Jefferson were reissued in chronological sequence as his \"complete recorded works\" by the Document label in 1994. The songs were parceled out neatly so that material from each successive year of his short recording career occupied a separate disc, with volume one containing 23 selections recorded between December 1925 and December 1926. Those who feel prepared to shed the shackles of convention and jettison pre-conceived notions of what the blues or music in general is supposed to sound like should seriously consider obtaining all four volumes, for listening to nearly every record known to have been made by Blind Lemon Jefferson can be a moving and transformationally rewarding experience.
