Great raw delta blues with a passionate singing voice. Registers somewhere between Son House and Skip James with a little more country flare.Guitar work ranges from delicate picking to hard chugging strums; and his instrumental versatility is mirrored in his adaptable voice. Give this a listen!

CONDITION:

THE RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL  AS  NEAR MINT. Some VERY LIGHT AND SUPERFICIAL abrasions – mostly sleeve scuffs -  are (barely) visible, but are probably inaudible,  and do not affect visual integrity or beauty of the vinyl. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new (tiny (1/4"), non-feelable scratch noted on 'Mississippi Blues', not expected to be audible).

(b)            The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

(c)             The record is STILL in its original inner, perforated plastic baggy, which has - apparently with success - shielded the record from the harmful impact of elements over many years!

(d)          The album comes with the original Cook records mail order form (postcard)

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·                               THE COVER

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        Cover has a partially split top seam (between 2 and 4 inches  / 5 to 10 centimeters)

-        Cover has a partially split bottom seam (between 2 and 4 inches  / 5 to 10 centimeters)

-         Cover has some visible fraying/tattering on the top and bottom seams.

-         Cover has two corners slightly worn / dinged 

-        Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 3

-         Cover shows some light yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.  (nothing significant)

-        The cover has a few pressure points and lines (as if someone attempted to write on it with the ballpoint pen, but ran out of ink) (BARELY VISIBLE - the cover must be viewed under certain angle to notice)

-        Cover has a small quality control (inspection) stamp on the back panel  (BARELY VISIBLE)

-        Tiny yellowish stain noted on the opening side, probably from the removed sealant sticker used to seal the album.  (VISIBLE ON FRONT SIDE ONLY) (less than 1/2 square inch in size)

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
