This brief ten-track sampler from Collectables combines five songs by Texas country blues guitarist Lightnin' Hopkins with five songs by Buster Brown, a blues harpist out of Georgia, and it's OK as far as it goes, but the whole thing is over so quickly that neither artist is really much revealed. Hopkins recorded so frequently that what's here only touches the surface of his output, while in the case of Brown, whose recording career was rather limited, these are really his five essential tracks. ~ Steve Leggett
