Description
Charlie Jackson's primal, funky guitar riffs have astounded listeners. Raw and unadorned and at other times spare and lyrical, his Booker and Jackson label recordings are infused with sanctified energy and singing. In the 1970s, this Mississippi-born man of God made a series of holy-blues singles for the tiny Booker and Jackson labels. This set has 'em all: heated sermons of need, devotion and joy, blessed by Jacksons thunder-and-Lightnin' Hopkins voice and crusty-tremelo, railroad-boogie riffing. The reverend rocks it. Rolling Stone.
