Well, gotta give credit to Saga for hitting on a new conceptual twist for a blues compilation, drawn largely on the ’20s and ’30s country blues tradition with a couple of 1951 ringers sneaking in courtesy of Bull Moose Jackson and Big Bill Broonzy. The program is themed according to geographical influence (tracks one through three), blues artists with Indian blood (tracks four through 11), and blues lyrics dealing with the Indian influence and experience (tracks 12 through 22). What you essentially hear is a country blues record with titles and the occasional lyrics sticking out to remind you of the theme. Well-known names like Tampa Red, Memphis Minnie, T-Bone Walker, Champion Jack Dupree, and Lowell Fulson figure in the first six tracks alone, a reassuring sign that Cherokee Boogie isn’t some collection of second-rate odds and ends that would otherwise never have made it to disc. The sound quality is more hit-and-miss, with Walker’s “Mean Old World” the first sign that old 78s are the principal source, and the scratchy surface noise becomes so pronounced for Papa Charlie Jackson and Priscilla Stewart that they barely make it out of the hiss. But the compilation is a great way to sample artists you normally wouldn’t find grouped together.–Don Snowden
