Review

Rolling Stone (5/1/97, p.50) - 4.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...a lot of music and sociology to love, study and comprehend....While much of this music is already gone from everyday life--forever--Alan Lomax ensured that it will never die. The oral tradition, even on CD, is still alive and well."
Entertainment Weekly (4/25/97, p.72) - "...these performances--straight from
the parlors, churches, and prisons of the Old South--are still essential listening for anyone interested in the roots of American popular music."
- Rating: A
Down Beat (9/97, p.53) - 5 stars (out of 5) - "The two dozen songs...are typified by dignity of purpose and a certain vital spirit. Here is the sound of pure and natural music, unsullied by commercialism..."
