A warning label should be put on this disc: FOR HISTORIAL PURPOSES ONLY. Alan Lomax's field recordings of African-American work songs are for ethnomusicologists and musical adventurists only. Few casual listeners will want to toss this disc on for pure listening pleasure. While tracing blues styles from these tunes is fascinating, it's not for everyone. For those interested, however, there is an excellent booklet with notes and lyrics. --- Tim Sheridan, allmusic.com
