Notes: Of these tracks from 1928-eight by Furry Lewis, seven by Tommy Johnson, six by Ishman Bracey-the Johnsons are among the great events in American music. With Charlie Patton and Robert Johnson, Tommy Johnson was one of the three leading Mississippi bluesmen, featuring a pure, aristocratic tenor voice, a sweet, shimmering vibrato, near-yodel octave leaps and a busy guitar style. His 'Canned Heat Blues' is a classic, with, unusually, a sustained lyric theme, while 'Cool Drink of Water Blues,' 'Big Road Blues' and 'Maggie Campbell Blues' have probably been even more influential. Bracey, almost as fluent and stylized as Johnson, is an intriguing eclectic who ranges from near-private intimacy to a preaching manner; his lyrics are the most surreal of these three singers. The utterly engaging Lewis is the most old-fashioned singer of this threesome, with a taste for vivid, idiosyncratic lyrics. In 'Cannon Ball Blues' he claims, 'I can't play no music, and I sure can't sing no blues.' Don't believe a word of it. ~ chicago tribune (11.06.1992)
