"Although Barbecue Bob was from Georgia and not from Mississippi, his rhythmic guitar and African style of singing make him sound like a true Delta bluesman.
I like Barbecue's vocals when he puts some growl in it, as he often does. I like his guitar mostly when he gets into a rolling rhythem, as in "Motherless Child" and California Blues. Bob's lyric are always tinged with both sadness and humor. He sounds like a man who has seen a lot and knows what he is talking about. I recommend this highly original music to any blues fan."

NOT DELTA BLUES

"THE OTHER REVEIWERS HERE ARE COMPLETELY WRONG ABOUT AN ANALYSIS OF THE MUSIC OF BARBEQUE BOB. HE PLAYED A TWELVE STRING GUITAR, AND DID NOT PLAY MISSISSIPPI DELTA BLUES, HE PLAYED WHAT WAS CALLED ATLANTA BLUES, OR GEORGIA BLUES, WHICH SOUNDS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN DELTA BLUES. THIS IS A GREAT CD OF HIS WORK, HE RECORDED 68 SONGS IN HIS LIFE AND DIED AT AGE 29 IN 1931."
