Washboard Sam recorded many selections as both a leader and as a sideman for Bluebird from 1936-49. His citified country blues were a transition music between the Delta blues and early R&B while being quite likable in their own right. On this fine CD sampler, Sam's strong voice is greatly assisted by his half-brother Big Bill Broonzy's guitar. A certain sameness creeps in by the fifth song, but the party music (all from 1941-42 except for one session from 1947) is quite accessible and enjoyable. ---Scott Yanow, Rovi
