Listener-friendly country blues

(4 out of 5 stars)
"If you're frustrated by the scratchy sound of old country blues recordings and long for something with good production values (but an old-time sound), then Book might be your man. This collection contains a nice assortment, with a few real gems ("The Ballad of Amazing Grace and Side Show Dan" is worth the price of the CD). Informative liner notes, written by Book, add to the vibe ("Wrote this one on tour up north somewhere, missing my best girl down in St. Pete..."). Recommended for those who enjoy country blues done right."
