Notes: Born 11 April 1913, Ellendale, Tennessee, USA, died 22 August 1979, Chicago, Illinois, USA. Granderson left home when he was in his teens, moving to Chicago, Illinois, in 1928. Although not a professional musician, he did work with John Lee ‘Sonny Boy’ Williamson, among others. He turned to music full-time in the 60s and was featured as sideman and leader on many anthologies, although he never made a full album in his own right. Granderson sang and played guitar close to the style of the Memphis musicians of his youth. He stopped performing in public in 1975 and died of cancer in 1979. AMG
Granderson's guitar work combines agile fingerpicking with a steady but understated rhythmic pulse; his harmonic and rhythmic conceptions reveal echoes of the Memphis-area string bands of his youth, especially on uptempo numbers like the title tune. This disc is both a significant historical document and a thoroughly enjoyable listening experience. -- Living Blues
