REVIEW “18 tracks drawn from Arhoolie's vaults by such artists as Sam Chatmon, Lightnin' Hopkins, Big Joe Williams (plus some lesser-known talents), all singing "blues with a meaning" ‚ songs that reflect the singer's self-expression and personal experience. The booklet has some great photos from Chris Strachwitz and notes by Paul Oliver that place the lyrics into the given context.”(Folkroots World Music Magazine) |
