CD ReviewsClassic Bigthumb | 11/07/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is one of the classic albums. Rev Davis plays blues/ragtime picking acoustic guitar. If you don't know him yet then this is a good example of his excellent work. Personal, individual and heartfelt like the best country blues but very free with his guitar arrangements. Proper." Cocaine Blues/Instrumental Mark Schlesinger | Columbus, OH | 07/14/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I think the vocal version of "Cocaine Blues" belongs to another label. Rock fans may know the song by George Thorogood, by the way. Fantastic accoustic guitar work. Also check out Blind Willie McTell, Lonnie Johnson, and of course Robert Johnson and Robert Lockwood, Jr. for accoustic country blues mastery."
