"Tracy Nelson - one of the finest roots-music singers of the past 60 years - has returned to recording with an outstanding 16th album. Her rich, one-of-a-kind voice is a force to be reckoned with, pinpointing the emotional core in old blues and country music songs of great value by storied figures from Stephen Foster and Hank Williams to Ma Rainey and Sonny Boy Williamson, taking in Allen Toussaint, Willie Dixon, Chuck Berry, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Doc Pomus on the way".
