“Johnny Shines is the ultimate Delta bluesman, combining the classic styles he learned as a youth into a very personal style, fluent, creative and forcefully talented as both a singer and guitarist” – Jim DeKoester “He rates amongst the most important and individualistic blues stylists of the post-war years” – Pete Welding “A forceful explosive blues singer whose strong, vibrato laden voice possesses a range and sensitivity which is rivalled by few other bluesmen” –

Peter Guralnick.
