| Recorded during the time in which Eaglin was doubling as a blues/folk singer and a commercial R&B artist (for Imperial). He addresses the acoustic folk and blues side of his repertoire, performing everything solo on six and 12-string guitars. Time will probably judge these not to be as interesting as his full-band New Orleans R&B recordings. But this is warm, good-natured acoustic blues, with interpretations of traditional tunes, early blues by Robert Johnson, and then-recent R&B hits by Ray Charles, Arthur Crudup, and Amos Milburn. ~ Richie Unterberger | |

- "...His late '50s Folkways debut album astounded blues fans with its combination of rolling Caribbean rhythms and fiery, flamenco-flavored runs. None of his later acoustic albums matched the power of that record's best moments, but this 1961 session comes awfully close and is more consistent overall..."
