Expectations...

Dave Wilson | Melting Icebergs, Planet Earth | 11/19/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The other reviewer on this page just didn't get what he was expecting.

This compilation is exactly what it says. "Rev. Gary Davis and the Guitar Evangelists" is a heritage of American country blues. The recordings are a wonderful gathering of vintage gospel blues. The remastering by JSP is up to the state of the art. But they are old records, make no mistake.

I also have to say that the other reviewer obviously doesn't play guitar. An attempt to master this style of guitar, one will find that these guys sat on street corners day after day and played all day, every day, for pennies. They got to a level of playing that is accomplished only by doing this. It is deceptively difficult to play like this.

So don't let the other reviewer deter you from buying this or other JSP products. They are well researched, remastered to the highest level and portray a love of the music and the desire to make recordings available that the major labels couldn't care less about.

But they are exactly what you're looking for (if it's what you're looking for) ...an incredible representation of another ignored American artform."
