"The 1969 Ann Arbor Blues Festival is widely regarded as a legendary event among blues purists, and this set lives up to the hype; anyone who loves the blues raw and direct will be thoroughly knocked out by this collection".

"Of that inaugural festival, only one participant, Charlie Musselwhite, is still alive. So it's more important for blues history than ever that these tapes were found and released. This isn't just an important and historical listen, though; it's also an extremely fun one".

"One quick review of the list of artists that appear on this collection should be all it takes for most blues fans to make a purchase. Complete with plenty of details and pictures in addition to many stirring performances by true giants of the music, these two discs make it clear that the 1969 Ann Arbor Blues Festival did indeed feature possibly the finest line-up of any blues fest, ever! Forget about sound issues or crowd noise. Instead, be ever so thankful for this opportunity to go back in time to relive portions of this historical event".
