"Sam Mitchell's playing is a throw back to the simpler musical life we enjoyed in the late sixties. His clean performance of the great slide tunes of the 20th Century make this CD a classic. If you play slide guitar at all, this is a must have for your collection. Stephan Grossman, the guitar educator, has devoted almost half his Slide Guitar book directly from the tunes on this CD (tab and notation both). A new Sam Mitchell album has justed been released (Oct'00) so keep you eye out for that one also."

"This CD is a fantastic dispay of skillful playing that retains the musicality and depth of the original tunes. I am a great fan of slide and Sam Mitchell's playing is some of the best I have ever heard. Although his playing is great, his singing also has a soulful expressiveness that remains true to the tunes' origins."
