Editorial Reviews ...arguably the most important bluesman on the New York scene in the mid-40's....an invaluable release... Mojo (04/01/1999)
...White's burnished voice and mellow guitar are underrepresented on CD, so this 26-song collection from his '40s heyday is welcome... - Rating: B Entertainment Weekly (05/22/1998)
