- Summary
- "The Mississippi Delta is the source of America\u0027s deep and pervasive blues tradition. At a time when that tradition appeared in danger of disappearing, many of its most elemental practitioners reappeared to remind us of the bruising force of this music\u0027s headwaters. They were living legends who demonstrated strong bonds with legends passed. This is music which has mesmerized everyone from a young Muddy Waters to today\u0027s blues-based rockers. Its earthy vitality remains fresh in rare performances rife with slide guitars, driving rhythms and song as searing as a hellhound\u0027s bay across the Delta darkness."--Container.
