Entertainment Reviews:

Entertainment Weekly - p.69
"[O]ld-time country music, early blues, and gospel....The recordings -- of varying brilliance -- are grail-like rarities."
Living Blues - p.76
"House was the greatest of all the 'deep' Delta singers, and this was his greatest recording session. The guitar work is crisp, with his usual unerring rhythmic control, and his voice is magnificent."
No Depression - p.100
"There are fetching country blues tracks.....It's all put together with enthusiasm and tongue-in-cheek ribbing of the collecting bug."
Mojo (Publisher) - p.110
