Editorial Reviews
Living Blues
[This volume] in the continuing series ... [includes] some of the most exceptional singing ever recorded.... [This] disc is made up of unreleased tracks recorded at the same time [as the first], both additional work songs and hollers and such supporting material as interviews, lying contests, a rhymed toast, and a short sermon.... Volume two explores [group work songs] further, with alternate versions of the same songs.... Particularly interesting on [this album] are the spoken segments, both the exchanges of tall tales or "lies" and the scraps of interview.... The song lyric transcriptions are occasionally flawed, but often serve to clear up unintelligible passages.

Great
This collection has real feeling and that's what music is supposed to be about. I highly recommend it.
Cut 8. 'O' Berta' not the one I thought it was
I heard a great arraingement of "Berta" during the movie "The Piano" which stared Charles Dutton. I thought that arraingement or at least some approximation was on this CD but it turns out that track 8 'O' Berta' is a disapointing version of that great tune. Otherwise if you like to hear these types of songs you might like this cd.
