Dirty Work at the Crossroads 1947-1953

The great developed into the very template for gritty Americana, taking on almost every corner of American roots music with his guitar, fiddle, and charismatic stage presence, but in his earliest recordings, the ones collected here when he was recording for in the 1940s and 1950s, he was more of a -inspired guitar wizard slashing through what could only be called electric Texas blues. This is vintage and explosive stuff. ~ Steve Leggett
