Mr. Charlie Presents – The Best of the Green Mountain Blues, Volume 3: Thanks for Coming (2xCD, Compilation, 1998, Wizard Productions)

Why This CD Matters
The Best of the Green Mountain Blues, Volume 3 documents Vermont's thriving late-1990s blues scene through performances by many of the state's most respected musicians and bands. The compilation captures a wide range of electric blues, roots rock, and club-driven performances that defined an important era in Vermont's independent music community. As a regional release, it serves as both an entertaining collection and a valuable historical record of New England blues culture.

Collector Note
Released in 1998 by Vermont's Wizard Productions, this double-CD compilation features artists closely associated with the state's blues and roots music scene, including Seth Yacovone, Phil Abair, Tammy Fletcher, and Mr. Charlie. Regional compilations of this scope were typically produced in limited quantities and are increasingly difficult to locate.
