Pure Boogie Woogie Pleasure December 12, 2008
I'm by no means a blues expert or aficionado. I just wanted some good, upbeat boogie woogie tunes for my Zune. I bought this CD based on the positive reviews here. All the tracks on "Blues 88's" quickly became my most listened to music. It takes me back to the days when my grandma played boogie woogie on the piano in our basement. Get it. You won't be disappointed.
Great Instrumentals September 7, 2008

If this album doesn't get your toes a-tappin' you need surgery. While not the "best" of this genre, this album is crammed with fun music and it is well recorded to boot! Hard to beat the beat! Intense piano. HIGHLY recommended as an introduction for those wanting to hear what boogie is about. Woogie woogie! Five stars!
Use Cruise Control December 5, 2006

I was hopeful based on other reviewers, and love this. All of the players are very, very good. Some numbers are solo, others have a band backing up the player. Musical selections are between so-so and FAN-TASTIC! If you listen in your car, USE YOUR CRUISE CONTROL, especially on #4. Katie Webster really rolls on this one, as does her band. I kept listening and my foot kept easing down on the "exhilarator". Next thing I know, I'm doing 20 mph over speed limit. If you like piano with great melody, fast playing (and accurate-no fumble fingers here), with a fast blues riff or a boogie-woogie beat, don't hesitate. Buy it!
Love It!!!! August 11, 2006

Great sampler of current blues-boogie!
This is going to be stuck in my CD player for a good long while. Lots of fun and these guys are GOOD! I just started taking boogie woogie piano after several years of classical so I can hear what they are doing and am just so impressed - I can't imagine playing this well. I like fast music and while some may say its showing off - I say 'if you got it flaunt it'!
The difficult thing with boogie is the timing - getting the right hand and left hand coordinated when they are hitting different timings and rhythms. I should say its difficult for me but these guys get it right - sooo right!
Clean recording and not a single track which I skip.
