I'm Grant.
well cooder isnt playing for record in case we are at odds. the music is by all the players mentioned and more.OK, but use of the word "featuring" is misleading. It suggests the listed 'influences', which Cooder regards as providing his musical roots, are playing on the record.
But I'm being a bit over-pedantic here.
Track Listings
1 Do Re Mi - Woody Guthrie - Woody Guthrie 2 Pigmet Papa - Leadbelly - Lead Belly 3 Police Dog Blues - Blind Blake - Blind Blake 4 Brownsville Blues - Sleepy John Estese - Sleepy John Estes 5 Dark Was The Night - Blind Willie Johnson - Blind Willie Johnson 6 On A Monday - Leadbelly - Lead Belly 7 Vigilante Man - Woody Guthrie - Woody Guthrie 8 Cherry Ball Blues - Skip James - Skip James 9 Taxes On the Farmer Feeds Them All - Fiddlin' John Carson - Fiddlin' John Carson 10 The Bourgeois Blues - Leadbelly - Lead Belly 11 You Can't Stop A Tattler (Part 1) - Washington Phillips - Washington Phillips 12 You Can't Stop A Tattler (Part 2) - Washington Phillips - Washington Phillips 13 Diddi Wah Diddie - Blind Blake - Blind Blake 14 How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live - Blind Alfred Reed - Blind Alfred Reed 15 Viola Lee Blues - Cannon's Jug Stompers - Cannon's Jug Stompers 16 Cross Road Blues - Robert Johnson - Robert Johnson 17 Irene - Leadbelly - Lead Belly 18 Statesboro Blues - Mississippi John Hurt - Blind Willie McTell 19 Poor Me - Charley Patton - Charley Patton 20 Candy Man Blues - Mississippi John Hurt - Mississippi John Hurt 21 Corrine, Corrina - Bo Carter - Bo Carter

Well it certainly confused me! So, as a collection of tracks by well-known Blues artists, it's a nice selection.
Although I probably have all of the tracks on the respective artists' recordings, the "Cooder collection" is a convenient selection. I might even get a copy for myself.

Talking of "stunning recording", what is your opinion of Ry Cooder's 'Bop Till You Drop'?
The music and playing is great - but the recording stinks! It was one of the first digital recordings and it shows. The sound stage is as flat as a board, with no depth or solidity to the instruments - they just pop up and down, in and out like the flags on an old fashioned cash register, or the ducks in a shooting gallery.
Cooder was initially enthusiastic about the recording, but has since disowned it.
Ironically the CD sounds marginally better than the LP.
