"Harlem Slim is THE Delta Blues, and Piedmont Rag guitarist. Note-for-note, his playing is dead-on traditional. His five CD's are a must for all serious collectors of the blues and rag styles, and anybody who wants to hear how these styles are supposed to be rendered. He's already a smash in Europe and Scandinavia...maybe he'll get discovered here now. Don't pass this one up."

"Clever,poignant,funny and insightful lines fill these songs.Exploration of these tracks also shows that great songs as well as masterful guitar playing are just part of what makes this a speecial listen.The record spotlights one of the fatest toned harmoica player and graveled voiced vocalist( on bluebird)that I have heard. Luckily for us, we get to reap the beneefits of having both of these traditional artist playing live,. one take from the gut blues .We would like here more of little Terry Rogers vocals and harp playing next time out."
