Stripped down in Memphis

"When Big Jack Johnson died at age 70 in 2011, the planet lost a giant figure in the world of Delta blues. But he lives again here as he joins forces with harp players Kim Wilson and George "Wild Child" Butler and delivers a bare-bones, deep-in-the-pocket set of tunes from the M.C. Records vault that see the light of day for the first time ever ... If you're a fan of acoustic blues, you'll definitely want this one. Strongly recommended".

"He is as fierce as ever on acoustic and electric guitars and mandolin. The harmonica aces join Johnson, each without amplification, giving this album a deep, down-home vibe. As the album title implies, this record goes way back to the nitty-gritty blues roots. The album is stark and unabashedly austere. It's the real true blues, removing all the unnecessary production adornments, ensuring that the emotional intensity remains intact".
