These recordings from the mid-1970s capture an old-school Mississippi Delta blues guitarist who has comfortably adapted the new-school electric band nuances to his own spare style. David Honeyboy Edwards--still performing in 2000--knew Robert Johnson and is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. (Check out his autobiography, The World Don't Owe Me Nothing.) Honeyboy bends the influences toward him instead of trying to play in an unfamiliar bag. The result is like an old, country juke house would have sounded had it been wired for electricity. On some tracks, Honeyboy plays alone, and on others he has spare accompaniment, including the great Big Walter Horton on harmonica. They're old train-hopping pals and their playing has not lost that sense of adventure. When Honeyboy plays slide guitar, he can sound like a heart breaking or sanity unwinding. His vocals are passionate, making up in feeling what they lack in range. It's strong stuff. --Robert Gordon
