"I'm very partial to Pink Anderson because he's my homeboy from Spartanburg SC (where I was born) and i know his son (whose featured on the cover) very well. That aside, this is a good collection because it preserves some good ballads that are almost forgotten today. As well as "John Henry," I love his rendition of the "Titanic" song (Wasn't it sad when that great ship went down). Enjoy."

"Another of the albums that Anderson recorded for Bluesville in 1961, it contains an interesting range of materials form his extensive repertoire. "Betty & Dupree" is a fine performance, as is "Sugar Babe", but my favorite is "Boweevil". Anderson's version of this classic cotton farmers' lament is performed with enormous gusto - listen to that guitar!An enjoyable album."
