Comment:

Here's where we drill deep down to the soul of the Delta blues. Deep Cuts throws a rare spotlight on the ladies — Mattie Delaney, who, guitar in hand, takes us on a guided tour of the hard-times "Tallahatchie River Blues"; and honky-tonk diva Louise Johnson, who tells it like it is in "On the Wall" — unearths some rarities (Cliff Scott and a thumpin' "Woke Up This Morning"), and highlights the lesser-known cuts from the big names, like R.L. Burnside's juke-joint steamroller "Just Like a Bird Without a Feather" and the moody stunner "Jesus Is a Dying-Bed Maker" by "King of the Delta Blues" Charlie Patton.
