  • Description

    A fascinating and comprehensive set of the fabulous 'rediscovery' recordings made at the end of the 1950's into the 1960's

    This is a very interesting period from one of the great masters of blues.
    The producers involved might have been trying to get Lightnin' to be all 'folk blues' but given an acoustic guitar Lightnin' just dug deep and produced some amazing hard blues performances and utterly poetic songs drawn from his personal experiences. An important release, the first serious box set compilation of this material.
