"WOW this album rocks(in a blues type of way)the first time I heard this album Big Joe Williams was instanly turned into my new favorite guitar player(I have many favorites)I only wish I could sing and play the blues like Big Joe he is really one of the pioneers his style is so uniuqe and raw that he really sounds like no one else but Big Joe.He is an extremely percusive type player I love how he pops his strings to get that extra twang.in songs like Someday ,Peach Orchad Mama.Man I bet he popped a (...) load of strings!This album comes with a very cool interview(track 6.)he talks about how he met LeadBelly in prison,and about other blues legends(his friends)like Charlie Patton and Sonny Boy Williamson #1 well if your a blues freak like me buy this album you will be so glad its in your cd collection."
