5.0 out of 5 stars Real country blues, April 25, 2001

This review is from: Country Boy in New Orleans (Audio CD)

It's a good item for one collecting acoustic blues record. It sounds old enought like some Leadbelly recording but is ligthter with more sophisticated melody likes. Some track even sound like guitar ballads. And all tracks are filled with soft, not very strong, but very natural voice of Snooks. It's old good country blues without any incluence of electric Chicago.

Just to address the comment/supposition of the last reviewer, I can tell you for sure that Snooks Eaglin is alive/well/active. He plays in New Orleans quite frequently.

This cat, Snooks Eaglin, touches me in all the right spots. He is the God damn Rolling Stones of old, black blues guys. He's probably dead, but if he wasn't, I'd go see him in concert.
