"This was one great party, an extraordinary gathering of musical friends who are also some of America's greatest masters of the Piedmont blues. It was a privilege to be a part of this event and to document that wonderful day." - Eleanor Ellis

"Some of America's greatest traditional blues masters get together at home to swap songs from the old days and stories of waht those days were like, when blues flourished 'back down home' at country breakdowns, corn-shuckings and houseparties. These musicians and their friends create the lively spirit of houseparty blues, while conveying the values, the history, the good and bad times, and the sense of community that gave form to their music and dance" - Dick Spottswood
