This is a GREAT album however there are some issues with the song breaks and download. Some of the time stamps to start each new song are off by as much as 10 or more seconds. There is a pause of a few seconds at the end of one song then the new song begins, several seconds later the song number and time clock change. Kind of frustrating but if you listen to the album in sequence you won't notice (just don't shuffle the songs). I experienced another problem with the download that iTunes Customer Support is looking into. I'll update my review later to advise if this was an album issue or download issue.

These are the big hitters of their time. And a awesome session band with Michael Coleman as band leader!

This album, when listened to from start to finish is awesome. The individual tracks, however, are cut in such a way that the first ten seconds of track #2 are actually the last 10 seconds of track #1. This happens for all eleven tracks. So, if you want to listen to track #5, then you have to start listening to the last ten seconds of track #4. Other than that, this is a great album by some pretty powerful players.

Four of the best blues harmonica players together on one album. "Down Home Blues" shows what can happen when all that talent hits just right. If you're a fan of Chicago blues, you MUST have this album!
