"How can any collection be without it?." - Living Blues

Furry Lewis was an exceptional bluesman from Memphis who combined raggy and bottleneck guitar arrangements with wry lyrics. His first recordings, presented here, captured him at the height of his inventive power. His renditions of I Will Turn Your Money Green and Kassie Jones have become standards on the blues repertoire.
