Entertainment Reviews:
CMJ - 11/15/99, p.23
"...stands as a reminder of how powerful music was when it was made only with the simplest of tools."JazzTimes - 8/00, p.127
"...The beautiful packaging, excellent sound, and largely unfamiliar program make it a must for the jug band [and] blues crowd. But anyone interested in hearing the forbears of jazz violin, or Lonnie Johnson on his 1st instrument, or just great good-time music, should seek this one out."Dirty Linen - 12/99-1/00, pp.88-9
"...another masterpiece by rescuing the 2 dozen recordings...from dusty shelves, remastering them [and] adding a thorough and informative booklet essay....it is impossible to characterize this as simply 'fiddle' music..."Living Blues - 1-2/00, pp.78-9
