"This is a GREAT album. One for the collection of every true blues lover. Moses was truly one of the greats. In my oppinion he didn't get his chance to shine for long enough, though. He wasn't discovered until he was in his 70's in the late 1980's. He only recorded this one album, though had songs ready for a second. He was the real thing, lived and loved the blues. His influences include the likes of Jimmy Reed, Big Bill Broonzy, and Brownie McGhee. Rised in Windsor, NC in a house filled with gospel and country music. But he prefered to hang out on the corners outside of bootleg joints and listen to the street musicans playing for nickels and dimes. He kept his guitar with him wherever life took him. You can hear this in ever song. I was lucky enough to meet and know this man for a few years of my life as a young girl. He was a great bluesman, and an even better human being. This album of country blues is one that everyone needs to own."
