Anyone who's interested in early East-coast blues needs some Blind Willie in their collection, and this album gives a very good taste of Blind Willie's style. It also has some great songs -- I love "Razor Ball" and his guitar rendition of the piano boogie-woogie classic "Pine-Top's Boogie Woogie". There's a bit of repetitiveness to his style and whoever produced the album made the mistake of putting two songs that are virtually identical back-to-back twice.
