“This 4-CD import focuses on the other side of Mississippi blues, the more rhythmic style of the eastern hill country as opposed to the bottleneck style of the Delta. Among these 100 tracks are a wealth of incredible performances seldom heard by modern ears, including sides by Freddie Spruell, Sam Butler a.k.a. Bo Weavil Jackson, Garfield Akers (Cottonfield Blues), Kid Bailey (Mississippi Bottom Blues), Geeshie Wiley, Mattie Delaney, Willie "61" Blackwell and more, as well as better-known artists like Son House (Clarksdale Moan), Charlie McCoy and Robert Lockwood. A great blues box!
“If you love the Mississippi Delta Blues, this 4 cd set is for you. I have a large collection of Delta Blues artists and these cd's have musicians on here that exist no where else I have found. Some of these people only recorded 2 or three songs, and they are captured here. If you like Delta Blues you are in for the treat of a life time. I have heard more than a few Charley Patton and Son House recordings that can't approach a lot of this stuff from the 20s in terms of sound quality, Don't get me wrong: Son House was the King of Delta Blues and I'm assuming you have every note he ever recorded. Almost at least. There is a very rare Son recording on this that has never been heard before. I expected poor sound quality, but it is quite good. Highly recommended.”
