Blues scholar Pete Welding assembled these 19 recordings -- most solo, all acoustic, most prominently featuring guitar and vocal -- between 1963 and 1965, just as the blues revival was gathering steam. This isn't the best Delta blues compilation, as an introduction or a general sampler. If you can't get enough of the stuff, though, it certainly stands up well. Big Joe Williams and Fred McDowell are the only well-known performers, but the others -- obscure names like Arthur Weston and the delightfully raw-voiced Ruby McCoy -- are generally in the same league.

The CD reissue adds bonus tracks by Williams and Avery Brady that were not included on the original version. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
