Music Reviews of Country Blues: Complete Early Recordings
Music Review: Hear the bones busting through
Rating: 5 Stars
Anyone familiar with Greil Marcus' INVISIBLE REPUBLIC is also familiar with the legend of Dock Boggs' early recordings. They are every bit as haunting as Marcus makes them out to be. If you enjoy pre-war, rough-sounding, _raw_ blues, this is the long lost album you've been waiting for.To be enjoyed while sipping whiskey, not wine.
Music Review: Bone chilling folk music from the backwoods
Rating: 5 Stars
Great music, like great movies, has atmosphere and tactile presence. You can just imagine what Boggs' contemporaries thought about these songs. There is a seriousness and a pervading sense of doom that must have shocked and compelled his early audiences. The old power is still there.
