Our Take

Ah, the sounds of the Mississippi Delta - a cacophony of raw emotion, soulful storytelling, and haunting melodies. The various artists on this compilation album bring to life the essence of Delta blues in a way that is both authentic and captivating.

From the gritty vocals of Son House to the smoky guitar riffs of Robert Johnson, each track on Definitive Delta Blues is a sonic journey through the heart and soul of the American South. The haunting wails of Skip James on "Hard Time Killing Floor Blues" send shivers down your spine, while the hypnotic rhythms of Blind Willie Johnson's "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground" transport you to a world of darkness and longing.

The production on this album is top-notch, capturing every nuance of the artists' performances with clarity and precision. The guitar playing is fiery, the vocals are impassioned, and the overall atmosphere is one of melancholic beauty.

If you're a fan of the blues, or just a music lover looking to expand your horizons, Definitive Delta Blues is a must-listen. So grab a glass of whiskey, dim the lights, and let these timeless songs wash over you like a warm wave of nostalgia. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
