Tampa Red doesn't have the "field hand" voice of many of his contemporaries, yet is equally authenic. His singing is clear and understandable. His guitar playing is clean and crisp with nice slide work! His lyrics are often witty and ironic. This is a great listen for the price and would be a nice start for someone who would like to try an "old time" acoustic blues CD but isn't sure who to choose. And two for about the price of one makes this set a bargain!
