An acoustic 1963 session from
Rush's Cambridge folk-blues days, much of this is acoustic revival blues, but there are detours on selections like
Merle Travis' "Nine Pound Hammer,"
Rush's own "Duncan and Brady," and the instrumental "Mole's Moan," which was written by
Geoff Muldaur. The album has been combined with another 1963 LP,
Blues, Songs and Ballads, on
Fantasy's expanded CD reissue of
Blues, Songs and Ballads. ~ Richie Unterberger
