John Jackson is one of the greatest living songsters, a musician who plays the mix of blues and older African-American and European-American styles that is the trademark of the Southern Appalachians. Jackson recorded three albums for Arhoolie in the late '60s and this album collects a representative sample of that work. The material ranges from Blind Blake covers and ragtime instrumentals to a banjo tune, a country dance medley, and a blue yodel. It all sounds great, but Jackson's outstanding work is in the pre-blues African-American repertoire, with songs like `Reuben,' `Nobody's Business,' and `Going Down The Road Feelin' Bad.' There is a grace and gentleness in his voice and guitar work that is perfectly suited to this style recalling the relaxed perfection of such older performers as Mississippi John Hurt. In a sense, though, it's wrong to single out any particular part of Jackson's repertoire for praise. He prides himself on his musical breadth, and his real achievement is the ability to work easily in such a wide range of styles. The three Blake tunes demonstrate his ability to recreate the sound and spirit of East Coast ragtime guitar. His bottleneck `John Henry' is a textbook example of the mountain classic. Jim Jackson's `Graveyard Blues' is completely reworked into a minstrel-style recitation, the chorus serving as a musical interlude between sections of humorous narrative. Jackson presents the back-porch mountain finger picking tradition at its best, with beautiful guitar work and a voice that conveys all the humor and depth of the lyrics.”
