This entertaining compilation gathers recordings by Cooder's many early influences, such as Sleepy John Estes, Blind Alfred Reed, and Blind Willie McTell, in addition to the activist folk songs of Woody Guthrie; many of these songs were later reinterpreted on Cooder's solo albums, such as INTO THE PURPLE VALLEY, BOOMER'S STORY, and PARADISE AND LUNCH.   Technical Info Release Date : 04/24/2007 Original Release Date : 2002 Catalog ID : Sbluecd-037 Label : Snapper Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 63m : 49s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00636551003728    Product Image
