Raw country blues from the 30s – a set that focuses on the shifting modes of the southern styles of the time – and brings into focus the kind of sounds that would really take off in the decade to come! The work here may not be as well-known as some of the more collected, more fetishized blues material from the time – and that's what makes the collection so great – as it reminds us that we've still got so much to discover in the 78rpm underground of the pre-war years. Titles include "Meat Cutter Blues" by Joe McCoy, "Howling Man Blues" by One Arm Slim, "Whiskey & Women" by Black Ace, "Sweet Sixteen" by Walter Davis, "Firewood Man" by Sonny Scott, "You Can't Take It Baby" by Bumble Bee Slim, "Keep It To Yourself" by Memphis Minnie, "Don't Do It No More" by Bo Carter, and "Memphis Fives" by Lee Green.
