REVIEW

“ ...Chock full of nothing but stunning, moving performances. Just about all the styles of citified blues music still being played in black neighborhood taverns and the blossoming white circuits such as festivals and college concerts during the '60s are featured on this disc...

Both the concept and nominal pricing of this new series are steps in the right direction that other labels should soon follow to...continue to educate the ever-growing thirsty blues fans. ”

(George Hansen — Blues Review)
