Archie’s finger-pickin’ guitar is raw blues mixed with country, ragtime, and spirituals-all heavily influenced by his mentor Mississippi John Hurt. Sing Out! praises, “It isn’t just the song selection that makes this set fantastic. The washboard-sounding bones of Richard Thomas and Slim Harpo-influenced harmonica from veteran Mark Wenner add extra dimension to Edwards’ casual, ultra syncopated rhythms and drawling.”
