Editorial Reviews
3 Stars - Good - ...These blues are not the deep well of passion of say, a delta singer such as Son House but they display a great warmth, skill and feeling...
Q (08/01/1994)
Sing Out! (11 12/94-1/95, p.130) - ...This superb double-CD...shows him at his youthful, pre-[Sonny] Terry best....All in all, this is a treasure-trove of rare and wonderful music.
