This solid collection (73 minutes' worth) features some of Blind Lemon Jefferson's best. "Jack O'Diamond Blues," "Match Box Blues," and "That Black Snake Moan" are all on board, and with the Sonic Solutions System employed on the audio restoration end, the result is about the best these surviving 78s have ever sounded. ~ Cub Koda
