"The title Rawer Than Raw is a nod to how this 2020 album is rawer than Raw, the 2007 record that found Bobby Rush devoting himself to acoustic blues for the first time in his lengthy career. Ever since its release, Rush has occasionally returned to such stripped-down settings, so Rawer Than Raw doesn't feel like the departure that its predecessor does but it remains a bracing listen".

"Settle in, appreciate Rush's deep natural affinity for one of America's great musical idioms. Rush is a living legend who shows no signs of slowing down as he strives to keep the blues alive".

"In the liner notes Bobby is at pains to stress that these are not the only Mississippi musicians he would like to cover and regrets that there was no room for Jimmy Reed, John Lee Hooker, Son House and BB King. Maybe a second volume is called for, Bobby! Meanwhile enjoy this fine album of authentic Delta blues played by the one and only Bobby Rush".
