Review:
Excellent blues playing
This is a very good album of blues originally from the 20s and 30s, by great Delta bluesmen like Missisippi John Hurt, Blind Lemon Jefferson and others. It's terrific material, of course, and performed very well indeed.
Michael Jerome Brown is a good singer and a very fine blues guitarist who gives all these songs a great feel and a genuine sense of their origins. He plays a variety of instruments, all very well, but it is the guitar work which makes this really good. I think it's just great; clean, sincere playing and singing makes it a real pleasure to hear this material in modern recorded clarity.
This is a little bit of class, I think. My advice is to listen to a few samples and if you like what you hear, don't hesitate - it's a fine album of great blues, very well played and sung. Warmly recommended.
