Hi, Dave,

I have both sets and LW's "Blues With A Feeling" double CD set is on my
list. Personally, I can't get enough of either one of them, so rather than
go for a single CD with MCA's opinion of their "Best", I'd opt for the
double CD's and get twice as much and make my own judgement. :-) I haven't
seen either's "His Best" collection, so I don't know if they are duplicated
on "The Essential...", but I'd bet they are. Withouth knowing the exact
track lineup on the singles, I couldn't say if I agreed with MCA's choices.
:-)
