CD Reviews

Great bargain, great fun

Howard Sauertieg | Harrisburg, PA USA | 01/31/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This release pairs the earliest recordings by Sleepy John Estes with an almost-complete set of classic tracks by Cannon's Jug Stompers, one of the great rural jug bands of the 1920's. Noah Lewis, high-powered harmonica blower, recorded with Estes, Cannon and his own jug band, supplying the conceptual bridge between the two discs. Lewis's work as a bandleader is included on Disc 1, making this a solid "5-star" set all the way around. This is a more comprehensive set than either of Yazoo's CJS discs, including their old "Complete Works" CD which features only 23 tracks... As for the sound quality, the digital remastering by John R.T. Davies is excellent, making these old records sound their best without either going overboard or shirking on noise-reduction. Best of all, the music is great fun!"
