Great compilation from Jackson, Mississippi's Trumpet Records. Features early 50s sides by Big Joe Williams, wonderful acoustic duets by The Huff Brothers and the last recordings of original King Biscuit Boy Willie Love. A wonderful document. --- allmusic.com

This album features material by three very different performers: Big Joe Williams, Luther Huff, and Willie Love.

The Big Joe Williams tracks are solid Delta blues -- Joe is playing his amplified 9-string guitar, tuned to "Spanish" tuning, and for most of the tracks is unaccompanied (a few have him with a bassist). They are fine examples of Big Joe Williams' repetoire and style -- howling slide, booming bass polyrhythms, etc. These are the best pieces on here, the songs that make me rate this five stars.

Luther Huff was obscure amateur musician who played parties with his brother. The Huff brothers played in a style associated less with the Delta sound and more with the Jackson-area blues exemplified by Tommy Johnson. Their recordings are masterpieces of interplay between mandolin, guitar, and vocals.

Willie Love was a wonderful barrelhouse pianist and singer, whose best recordings are (in my opinion) found on the album "Clownin' With the Blues" which also features Sonnyboy Williamson (Alec Miller). But that doesn't mean the recordings on this album are bad. Noone could stomp out a boogie and shout slurred lyrics like Willie Love. He is backed up by a stellar electric band (Little Milton and Elmore James are in there). ---Ian Herrick, amazon.com
