Alan Lomax was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Alan Lomax and Sounds of the South Disc 2 together. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Alan Lomax on ‘Jim and John’. This disc has all of the essential Alan Lomax classics. If I may, I suggest “Jim and John”. That one song is amazing!
The Wild Ox Moan - This one is lively and fun. Been Drinkin’ Water Out of a Hollow Log is a good listen every once in a while. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. Shake ‘Em on Down pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. Levee Camp Reminiscence I just LOVE this mix! In Chevrolet Alan Lomax spins a tale you want to hear to the end. Levee Camp Holler is the albums biggest surprise. Eighteen Hammers is a marvelous sing-along. Alan Lomax allows each song to breathe and flourish. Drop Down Mama is such a gorgeous and optimistic song that things can get just better. Music in Boogie Chillen is exquisite as in all tracks of Sounds of the South Disc 2. She Lived Her Life Too Fast is possibly the best song Alan Lomax has come up. Sitting on Top of the World is simple, dignified and effective, Alan Lomax refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. Sounds of the South Disc 2 couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track Cool Water Blues. She Don’t Love Me That Way is worth the money. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. Joe Lee’s Rock - A strong beat. Bullyin’ Well is just simply stunning. When You Get Home, Write Me a Few Little Lines is pretty funky and mellow. Red Cross Store - I just love it. Forrest City Jump is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction.
