Hmm....I have thi disc named " Down South Summit Meeting" telstar 5333 11014 2 7.....Just doesn't matter since this is a smoking collection . The players noted include Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee and Big Joe Williams. Like an Old Blues man said, When a woman has taken everything, i mean the linoleum off da floor, you can sing the blues.......

A great piece of blues history from a man known by too few.

"This is the kind of blues that I can pick a guitar up and just play with it for hours. Early in the Morning Blues is a round robin of talented older blues artist. Some of these songs were the artists actually playing for themselves in the studio on acoustic instruments. In fact in one of the tracts Lightnin says "this is taped". An excellent piece of remastering for anyone what wants to hear the real side of polished electric blues."
