Ranging from never heard before tracks to special guest sessions with legendary blues artists and lost radio sessions, this album uncovers Rory's love of the blues throughout his solo career from 1971 right through to 1994.

The deluxe 36 track 3-disc version showcases Rory's virtuoso performances of electric, acoustic and live blues and comprises 90 percent unreleased material.

Absolutely in for this.

First guy I ever saw live and I've loved him ever since.

Lots of rarities on here that never even appeared on the remasters.

So damn excited for this one! Between this, the Fleetwood Mac and Ronnie Lane boxes, there is definitely going to be some belt tightening.

I won’t have to do that. My pants are suddenly tighter for some reason.

Locked in at that price - thanks, Linda! (I'd say "yay, procrastination", but since I'd have gotten the price drop if I ordered right away, that doesn't apply here!)
