Album Review

Rialto's Blues Archive is a budget-line disc that contains some good moments from artists as diverse as Leadbelly, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Albert Collins, Lowell Fulson, Peter Green, Buddy Guy and Alan Price, but it's a little too scattershot and inconsistent to be of interest to anyone outside of bargain hunters.
– Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
