affairs of the heart occupy the blue label on this release in the roots n blues reissue series. 'messed up in love : and other tales of woe' is aptly titled as we will discover listening to the men and women who sang the blues back in the 1930's and 40's. these artists were telling the story of love and passion as it really was, low down, dirty and heartbreaking as opposed to the inanities of the popular love songs of the day! the line up of artists reads like a who's who of the rural / country blues aristocracy from blind willie mctell, bo carter, blind boy fuller, lonnie johnson and the legendary robert johnson to the performers from the vaudeville tradition bessie and mamie smith (no relation!) to the practitioners of city blues such as big bill broonzy, bill gaither and memphis minnie. all have their stories to tell and all tell them in their own inimitable style as this finely re-mastered compilation testifies.
