Originally released in 1969 on John Fahey"s Takoma record label, Mississippi Blues is one of the finest albums White produced during his later period, after being rediscovered by the folk revival of the 1960s. A pre-war country-blues artist of the highest order, White, like many of his contemporaries had lived in obscurity for many years, but his great talent remained. This acoustic blues classic is back in print on CD for the first time in years thanks to Water.
