American Primitive Vol. II (2005)

EW's GRADE
A-

Details Release Date: Oct 04, 2005; Lead Performance: Various Artists; Genre: Blues

American Primitive Vol. II, a beautifully packaged two-CD comp, sheds light on forgotten blues moaners, gospel shouters, and even kazoo blowers from before WWII. The sound quality is spotty, but the raw emotion comes through bright and clear.
