Most remarkably, Moses Rascoe has managed to haul the country blues sensibility into the 1980s. The aching beauty, defiant individuality and winking ribaldry that informed the music of Robert Johnson and Blind Boy Fuller sing in the blues of Moses Rascoe today. He takes Jimmy Reed's 'Big Boss Man' and 'Bright Lights, Big City' a step forward by taking their arrangement back to the days when a bluesman's voice and his fingerpicked guitar spoke together in one turn, one stating the case and the other chiming in with a pungent reply. These are the country blues of the '80s -- a dose of ragtime, a dash of gospel, a little country and a whole lot of blues -- played by a rising star who's going to shine for a long time.' --Walter Crockett, from his liner notes
