Review of Chimpin' The Blues

A throwback in more ways than one. Crumb's quirky expression and presence itself is from another era. When he speaks about the music he's not so much erudite as knowledgable out of pure and intense passion. The music (Crumb's personal collection) is wonderfully recherche, the format companionable. Excellent tribute for this official year of the blues and beyond. vm
