REVIEW WHEN YOUNG MUSIC LOVER CHRIS STRACHWITZ recorded the 64-year-old guitarist Mance Lipscomb singing the blues in his living room in rural Texas in 1962, little did he know that he was not only launching his now prestigious, roots music label Arhoolie, but he was also documenting the work of a seminal figure in the Texas finger-picking blues tradition. This latest release, culled from two earlier CD reissues, showcases Lipscomb on acoustic guitar flicking and thumping bass lines and bouncing out buoyant finger-picked licks on ballads, rags and deep blues.
