Complete Recorded Works (1929-1951) rounds up all of Whistlin` Alex Moore`s early recordings for Columbia, Decca and RPM/Kent. The sound quality is a little rough, and since it spans several decades, the collection doesn`t quite gel into a cohesive listening experience, but there`s no denying that these rowdy barrelhouse blues are powerful and entertaining -- they`re worth the time of any serious piano blues fan.~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
