    Valoración: GREAT

After his previous amazing Delta Thug, The Universal Pitch and Delta Blues & Piedmont Ragtime cds, here comes another excellent Harlem Slims’s piece of work One more time Harlem takes his National Resophonic guitars back to delight us with his versions of Blind Blake, Willie McTell or Johnny Shines’ tunes, among other thirties great names he gives a homage with a faithful performing and a perfect recreation of those days sound Slim’s does not try to innovate or give new things to a so hackneyed field as blues His only purpose he fortunately reaches is to perpetuate that splendid thirties musical world that is being gradually lost, because the young generations of black or white musicians are more interested in experimenting with new musical forms or more eclectic musical blues conception than to rescue the most traditional blues sources If you are simply looking for genuine good blues, Harlem Slim is your man
