Not to be missed!

"Furry Lewis was never better than he was on these early recordings. Lewis's Memphis sound was very different from the more familiar Delta sound of Robert Johnson and his followers, and his magnificent singing, guitar-playing, and songwriting will come as a revelation to blues fans who have somehow overlooked this blues giant. The sound-quality of these recordings far exceeds what might reasonably be expected of music recorded so long ago. Highly recommended!"
An all time classic

"I just love to listen to this album again and again. The great Memphis bluesman is truly in his prime, playing blues and ballads, accompanying himself perfectly on guitar. Songs like Kassie Jones and John Henry never sounded better than they do here. The blues "I will turn your money green" and "Judge Harsh blues" should be recognized as all time classics and the cream of Memephis Blues. It should go without saying - if you love country blues - don't miss.
