    Two-disc set celebrating the 45th anniversary of the world's premier blues label. Thirty-seven songs (over 148 minutes of music) in a six-panel digipak with 24-page booklet.

    The Alligator Records 45th Anniversary Collection clearly lays out Alligator's wide-ranging, forward-looking vision with tracks from newer voices - Selwyn Birchwood, Toronzo Cannon, Shemekia Copeland, Moreland & Arbuckle and Jarekus Singleton - seamlessly programmed next to legendary artists like Curtis Salgado, Rick Estrin & The Nightcats, Joe Louis Walker, Delbert McClinton, Anders Osborne, The Holmes Brothers, Guitar Shorty, JJ Grey & Mofro, Ann Rabson and Roomful Of Blues. Together, the Alligator Records 45th Anniversary Collection presents a comprehensive portrait of this singular, rooted, soul-stirring American music.
