Add your review here. Double edged sword of blues styles enclosed Review written by John Fitzgerald, November 25th, 2004 You can hear Bob Brunning's funky bass line real good on this platter on Big John Wrencher's "Big John's boogie" and the slower Wrencher tune "I'm a root man". These are preferable to the three G.P. Jackson recordings that Bob is on because "12th street boogie" & "A letter dressed in red" are virtually the same tempo (and right next to each other to boot) "Leavin' Kansas City" is a little faster but it doesn't help differentiate the three much. Eddie Taylor's great guitar work is distinctive and featured well on the John Wrencher tapes as well as his own two songs which are "I used to have some friends" & "I know my baby" to good effect. Cousin Joe has got three songs ("I can't lose with the stuff I use", "Problems" & "Blues legends") and Doctor Ross has two ("It seems like a dream" & "On my way to school"). These aren't really high points for me but there's a good mix here so people will probably like one or the other style that's on show.
