My Black Mama

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Delivering an overwhelmingly intense, percussive assault on the National steel guitar, this two-part recording is a towering monument of the Delta blues style. The artist's vocal delivery is aggressive, strained, and profoundly rhythmic, matching the ferocious, repetitive slide guitar riffs perfectly. The incredible raw power captured on this session directly influenced the architectural approach of Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters.
