Album Notes & Community Reviews

Utilizing panpipes alongside intricate acoustic guitar fingerpicking, this session documents a remarkably early, ragtime-influenced strain of Texas blues. The upbeat, rural themes provide a fascinating contrast to the darker Delta styles emerging during the same period. The recordings are cherished by historians as a rare glimpse into the transitional pre-blues traditions of the nineteenth-century wandering songster.
