When his friend the legendary Delta bluesman Robert Johnson died, Johnny Shines decided to visit Africa to see if everything he had heard about it was true. He got sidetracked and ended up in Chicago where his musical career languished for two decades until he was rediscovered in the '60s. This 1970 recording catches Shines at his best as he alternates between traditional Delta-styled acoustic blues numbers and hard-rocking Chicago-flavored tunes. The haunting "My Love Can't Hide," with its baritone sax moaning in background, provides but one highlight. --Percy Keegan

No less than a founding father of modern blues, James 'Johnny" Shines was a valued singer/slide guitarist whose creative impulses, technical command, and expressive candor were at an extraordinarily high level in the decade or so following his mid-1960s "rediscovery." This 1970 session includes several inspired solo performances that hark back to his prewar Delta and Memphis country blues years, another elevated period in his venerable career. Of the five songs made with a tipsy West Coast ensemble, "My Love Can't Hide" drops your jaw for the ardency of his heartsick vocalization. ~ Frank John Hadley
