Description: Despite its 92 year age, this Columbia record uses the "electrical process", an advancement from the acoustic recording from a horn which pre-dated it. Nevertheless, the record shows and sounds ancient by today's standards.The dynamism of excellence in singing (solo and duet) and the strength of strong guitar techniques seem to cut through the recording limitations. Words like monaural and stereo and high/low fidelity lack definition here. Although Johnson sounds overly represented in his special "grav-a-ly" vocals, side 2 with "Let your light shine on me"demonstrates the sweetness of his voice, pleasantly complemented by the equally matched sound of his female partner. One could say that appreciation of these unique musical techniques is an acquired matter for many. Once passing that hurdle, the substantial number of releasers for that time period offer a lot for the converted listener.
