A present from FaSho-


Blind Lemon Jefferson - The Best Of Blind Lemon Jefferson

A pretty large compilation of one of the best and most fundamentally influential blues artists of all time (23 tracks to be specific) and nary a weak spot throughout the whole thing. The guy died nearly 90 years ago, but the soulfulness of his voice and the twang of his guitar still rings through despite the extremely grainy recording quality, which actually contributes to the experience somewhat.

All in all, an interesting walk into the early development of 20th century blues and the roots of what would later become rock n' roll, and I found it quite engaging. Thanks FaSho!

8/10
