Grandfather courage

"By turning down the amplification and emphasizing interplay, Fantastic Negrito winds up highlighting the classic construction of his modern blues as well as the wounded soul at the heart of these tunes. Where White Jesus Black Problems commanded attention, requiring listeners to meet it on its own terms, Grandfather Courage rolls smooth and easy; it's the first Fantastic Negrito record that seems chill. Those relaxed, mellow vibes make this album something more than an intellectual exercise; it's a distinctive, engaging record in its own right".

"A compelling, affecting work of acoustic blues and roots music, speaking to the deep currents of blues as an American art form".
