If you want a jam that runs on like the night, this is the spot. If you really want to hear the span of Waters' run, this mostly-chronological collection of 50 tracks will give you a good lesson. But if you're looking for an album to listen to (and god knows I always am)?
Here's a question for you: are you shorter on money or time?
If you're shorter on money, this will give you a mighty amount of soul power, a serious run of guitar, a peerless degree of uncut blues flex and strain and pulse for your buck. You're probably the type that needs this kinds music anyway, down on your luck maybe, watching the world drift by.
If you're shorter on time, you might be in too much of a rush for these records' timeless, endless moaning croak, running by the dozens. You might not be the kind of man who's looking first and foremost for the blues just now. You're probably off chasing the next shiny sound glinting in the green green grass.
I think there's honor in the former, and I admit with small shame that I'm mostly the latter these days. I'm short on money, but boy am I ever short on time 3/5
