Album Notes & Community Reviews

Documenting the remarkably agile, ragtime-influenced fingerpicking of the Piedmont tradition, this collection highlights a medicine show veteran rather than a strict Delta bluesman. The repertoire consists largely of traditional folk narratives, delivered with a raspy, deeply authentic conversational vocal style. The recordings provided invaluable source material for the emerging generation of acoustic preservationists.
