    This release is worth picking up for the sheer nakedness of the instruments used- and only one microphone to record the voices!  Truly recorded with the thought of replicating the great Charley Patton and how he recorded back in the 1920's and early 30's.  "Mississippi Boweavil Blues" is a bouncing juke with Peyton's fingers jumping across the strings.  "Some of These days I'll be Gone" is an electrifying banjo pluck-fest that will surely have you stomping your feet.  Peyton on guitars & banjo only, Washboard Breezy sparingly uses her famous washboard and "Cuz" only uses a 100-year old tobacco barrel for percussion instead of his usual drum kit.  naked, barren, plain, yet beautiful.  this is blues re-done, and yet done like it was done 90 years ago!  An amazing album paying homage to a Mississippi delta blues king!!
