Blind Snooks Eaglin - Guitar [6- And 12-string Guitars], Vocals
Percy Randolph - Harmonica, Vocals 

Recorded during the time in which Eaglin was doubling as a blues/folk singer and a commercial R&B artist (for Imperial). He addresses the acoustic folk and blues side of his repertoire, performing everything solo on six and 12-string guitars. Time will probably judge these not to be as interesting as his full-band New Orleans R&B recordings. But this is warm, good-natured acoustic blues, with interpretations of traditional tunes, early blues by Robert Johnson, and then-recent R&B hits by Ray Charles, Arthur Crudup, and Amos Milburn. ---Richie Unterberger, AllMusic Review

Recorded in 1961 and remastered in 1994, this is a record for any country blues fan. The smooth guitar sound of Lightnin' Hopkins, the energy and drive of Bukka White, and a voice that owes more to the traditions of Blind Lemon Jefferson than any modern blues singer. It all combines in the unique sound of Snooks Eaglin. If there's a downside it's that the re-mastering has taken away the raw edge of the earliest field recordings of this true country singer. ---amazon.co.uk
