One of the most recorded of Memphis-based guitarists of the late '20s, Furry Lewis' subsequent fame 40 years later in the '60s was based largely on the strength of his early songs. A great blues storyteller and an extremely nimble-fingered guitarist right into his seventies, he was equally adept at blues and ragtime. The live sessions on this CD begins with Bukka White playing his National steel guitar, performing in the style of Charlie Patton. Most of music here was recorded on Furry's wooden Gibson guitar during a party at his home in 1968. The joking and banter among Bukka, Furry and friends recorded here is priceless.
