Besides an extensive Chicago blues catalog, Austrian Wolf Records label gathers in its archives a valuable collection of historical recordings, made by its owners Andreas and Hannes Folterbauer to some of the most legendary blues names, not only coming from Mississippi Delta but also from other areas where rural blues could be easily found after the II World War Now Wolf Records releases an album with a selection of those recordings, most of them done in Mississippi, specifically at Como area, with such genuine artists like Jessie Mae Hemphill, Fred McDowell (recordings courtesy by Arhoolie Records and Smithsonian Folkways), Ranie Burnett, Eli Green (recordings courtesy by Arhoolie Records and Smithsonian Folkways), Othar Turner and RL Boice The album includes nineteen songs performed by those historical musicians, who represent the old traditional blues school that is still an important part of the feeling and love how southern Afroamerican people still express their deep feelings and experiences I can only recommend these historical recordings and thank Wolf Records again for their amazing effort to keep the roots and blues tradition alive
