Johnny Shines & Snooky Pryor - Back To the Country

In the early 1950s, Johnny and Snooky recorded sides for the J.O.B. label that helped lay the ground work for Chicago's electrified, small band blues. Reunited four decades later in the Texas hill country, they took the opposite tack with a set of acoustic, country blues that returned them to their roots in the Mississippi delta. Robert Johnson, the proud, tormented genius of Delta blues and mentor of a young Johnny Shines, is the spirit hovering over Back To The Country. Remastered from the original analog tapes with a new design for this limited edition LP.
