Title: great pre-war blues harmonica
Review: Yazoo has done a good job of remastering the 78 rpm records from which these songs were recorded. The music is excellent, especially if you're a harmonica player or a lover of country style harp. At the minimum, you gotta hear Ice Water Blues and Chickasaw Special. At 73 minutes, the amount of music is generous, however, there is one glaring problem with Yazoo's presentation--no recording dates! This is a tremendous oversight on Yazoo's part and I normally would ding a historical recording such as this as much as 2 stars for omitting recording details. According to the liner notes, they had the source records, so why didn't they just copy the label info into their liner notes? Yazoo is noted for these kind of ommissions and I question the quality of the poeple they hire. Nevertheless, the harmonica playing is so good, that I'm still going to give it a 5 star rating.
