With this cd comes to the end this series of albums we gradually have been discovering end enjoying. It is a high quality lovely collection, not only for their own significance but also for the careful detailed and well done songs and musicians selection, together with the excellent recording digitalizing and remastering work. As title says, the accent of this last album lies on the lyrics that reflect the power and magic of the mysterious sources of ancient Afroamerican religion passed on from generations for more than four centuries, which has been one of the deepest sources of blues. Some of the artists included on this cd are Sonny Boy Williamson, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Louis Jordan, Ma Rainey, Memphis Minnie, Doctor Clayton, or Big Boy Crudup. Congratulations to Karonte for distributing all this BLUES…. saga in Spain.
