5.0 out of 5 stars Delta Blues From A Master, November 27, 1999

By 

John D. Brock (Perrysburg, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Traditional Delta Blues (Audio CD)

This is one Johnny Shines' finest recordings. His masterful guitar work and vocals bring out the raw emotional power and poetry of the Delta Blues. Unfortunately because the recordings of other legendary Delta Bluesmen like Son House, Blind Wille Johnson, and Blind Lemon Jefferson are often of poor quality their work, and the genre itself, are often viewed as primitive and crude when nothing could be farther from the truth. Fortunately works like this exist where the sound quality is excellent, the material well selected, and the performer a master.

I highly recommend this recording.

Sweet acoustic blues, from sessions recorded back in 1972-74... It honestly doesn't get much better than this! Plenty of familiar old songs, but all presented in a distinctive, captivating personal style. Highly recommended.
