"[The cd] features solo acoustic performances of nine songs from James's songbook, as well as one original tune, "Nehemiah James," penned by Block and based on James' life story. Block's guitar work on this album is typically splendid, capturing the rudiments of Skip James' style while adding just enough of her own personality that the listener can see not just what Block learned from James, but how it evolved when it was fused with her own musical thinking".
