5.0 out of 5 stars Informal recordings of legendary bluesmen playing for the simple joy of it.
or a lot of folks, this record is far from the best representation of either Furry Lewis or Bukka White. Both men were in their declining years when this was recorded in Furry's home in 1968. And both were, quite frankly, a little inebriated during much of this informal session.

Yet there are few records of any vintage, that better demonstrate the sheer joy...

These guys were great once, but get their old stuff not this CD, it does have some good ideas for grooves if you play delta blues, but the skills are a little on the low side, sorry yall........

This review is from: Party! At Home: Recorded in Memphis 1968 (Audio CD)
or a lot of folks, this record is far from the best representation of either Furry Lewis or Bukka White. Both men were in their declining years when this was recorded in Furry's home in 1968. And both were, quite frankly, a little inebriated during much of this informal session.

Yet there are few records of any vintage, that better demonstrate the sheer joy that blues music can evoke. Here we have two old friends - celebrated elder statesmen of the blues - playing, laughing and drinking in the relaxed company of friends while a tape player rolls. They make off-color jokes, swap guitars, remark on their favorite attributes of beer (Bukka is a suds fan) and try vigorously to wake a drunk neighbor woman who has fallen asleep on Furry's bed. And in between all of this, they play some absolutely wonderful blues. There are missed notes and flubbed lyrics, but it hardly matters. This is what blues music is all about. Very highly recommended.
