CD Reviews

Excellent Liner Notes, But Poor Sound Quality

Daniel B. Pepper | New York | 07/28/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This three-cd set has excellent liner notes, giving us a detailed account of Willie McTell's life, but the sound quality on the JSP McTell box set is far superior to what we get from Document Records. I recommend the JSP box set, as it is cheaper, has equally satisfying liner notes, and also features McTell's Library of Congress songs which he recorded for Lomax. There is nothing bad about this set, though. If you can find it at a really cheap price, go for it! However, Document Records' discs are usually not cheap!"
