Producer: Richard Nevins Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA) Notes: Includes liner notes by Charles K. Wolfe and Don Kent. Audio Remasterer: Richard Nevins. Liner Note Authors: Charles K. Wolfe; Don Kent. Another fine Yazoo collection of vintage American recordings of the '20s and '30s. The theme here of first-hand hardship experience makes for some amazing music, whether by white or black artists. The buoyant "Down on Penny's Farm" is beautifully offset by Blind Alfred Reed's baleful complaint "How Can a Poor Man Stand," complete with fragile fiddle work and loping guitar work. And that's just the first two tracks. It's amazing stuff: part oral history, part entertainment and all priceless, though both volumes together may make for more hard times than you want to experience. ~ Tim Sheridan
