Entertainment Reviews:

Entertainment Weekly - 6/28-7/5/96, p.106

"...Compiling most of his best-known songs ('Irene,' 'Cotton Fields'), it's the first Lead Belly 'greatest hits' CD. The scratchy audio quality only adds to its history-in-the-making aura." - Rating: A

Down Beat - 8/96, p.64

5 Stars - Excellent - "Many of the tracks on this timeless folk classic were originally released after Lead Belly's death in 1948 and show the roots of Lead Belly's music....complemented by outtakes, unreleased and alternate versions of other Lead Belly material, all of it absolutely wonderful."
