REVIEW

“Bukka White’s music is truly unique. His ability to improvise at the drop of a hat was exploited to the full here resulting in seven long extraordinary songs. Songs of travel women gambling religion and music develop over White’s mesmerically rhythmic guitar and on two tracks piano.”

(Mark Harris — Juke Blues)
