Test of Time collects the highlights from
Ronnie Earl's six Black Top albums. The 18-song compilation showcases one of the finest blues guitarists of the '80s, picking nearly all of his finest material, which happen to include duets with
Robert Jr. Lockwood and
Hubert Sumlin. The album is an excellent introduction to
Earl, as well as his most consistently entertaining release. ~ Thom Owens, All Music Guide
