The review from the magazine is a little bit harsh for an overall excellent double. I bought it when issued in 1969 (I guess...) and listened to it regularly all through the years. There is a friendly atmosphere between those legendary Mississippi transplanted to Chicago legendary bluesmen and the music is most always excellent, sometimes brilliant. I find the Honeyboy tracks among the best he has waxed. The only drawback to my ears is the unecessary and sometimes heavy presence of Mike Stewart (Backwards Sam Firk) second guitar here and there.

Thank you again for all the music.

I love these kind of recordings. When you think a lot of blues was played at house/rent parties, recordings like these give a real flavour of what that would have been like albeit minus alcohol fuelled exuberance (which I don't mind as long as theres no guns!).
Fantastic LP's in my humble opinion!
