Furry Lewis - Furry Lewis In His Prime 1927- 1928 - 1988.


Review:

In His Prime (1927-1928) is the best overview of Furry Lewis classic late-'20s sides, containing 14 songs from the period (though not "John Henry"), all of which are crisply remastered, showing off both his superb guitar playing and his brilliantly expressive singing (the vocal performance on "Falling Down Blues" alone is worth the price of the disc) to excellent advantage. A seminal part of any blues collection, as well as any collection of Lewis' material.

Bukka White and Furry Lewis - Party At Home - 1968.

Review
there are few records of any vintage, that better demonstrate the sheer joy that blues music can evoke. Here we have two old friends - celebrated elder statesmen of the blues - playing, laughing and drinking in the relaxed company of friends while a tape player rolls. They make off-color jokes, swap guitars, remark on their favorite attributes of beer (Bukka is a suds fan) and try vigorously to wake a drunk neighbor woman who has fallen asleep on Furry's bed. And in between all of this, they play some absolutely wonderful blues. There are missed notes and flubbed lyrics, but it hardly matters. This is what blues music is all about. Very highly recommended.
