Notes: Liner Note Author: Dave Henderson. The ROOTS OF series attempts to give the listener insight into a particular artist's influences. The Black Crowes' sound has always hearkened back to the early days of British blues rock, so it's no surprise that this edition showcases some classic blues tracks which were vitally important to the development of that genre. Highlights include Robert Johnson's "Hellhound on my Trail" (one of Eric Clapton's all-time favorite recordings) and Son House's stirring meditation on love lost, "Death Letter Blues." A collection of 20 mostly blues tracks that either influenced or were covered by the Black Crowes, this set works just fine as an anthology even without the Black Crowes connection. And it isn't all blues, either, with songs like Slim Harpo's wry and very much Excello swamp poppish "I Got Love If You Want It " and Jimmie Rodgers' early country hit "Blue Yodel" also showing up here. Most of this set, though, is comprised of darkly themed vintage country-blues 78s, and tracks like Sleepy John Estes' shaggy dog tale "Rats in My Kitchen," Skip James' haunting and ghostly "Devil Got My Woman," and Son House's surging, head-long "Death Letter Blues" are classics by any definition and influenced a whole lot more folks than just the Black Crowes. ~ Steve Leggett
