The second volume in Document`s series of Complete Recorded Works, covering Memphis Minnie, includes a few classic performances, like "Ice Man (Come on Up)" and "New Orleans Stop Time" (the latter finding her co-billed with Bumble Bee Slim). Still, casual fans will find the disc a mixed blessing; the lengthy running time and poor fidelity will prompt many listeners to look elsewhere. ~ Thom Owens
