Tracklist

Pink Anderson was never a big name on the blues circuit, yet he was perhaps the most polished and personal of all the rural bluesmen who recorded for Prestige's Bluesville subsidiary. He was seldom recorded during his long career which began around 1915 with his first of many associations with traveling medicine shows and ended with his death in 1973.

He cut three fine albums for Bluesville during the early Sixties, this solo acoustic 1960 date being the first. Anderson, who had a strong influence on folk guitarists Roy Bookbinder and Paul Geremina, specialized in interpretations of blues standards, bringing to each a gentle, uniquely plaintive quality.

Originally released in 1961 on Prestige's Bluesville imprint, this album features his blend of fingerpicking and strumming styles to create a unique take on blues standards such as "My Baby Left Me This Morning" and "Baby, Please Don't Go". This release has been pressed on 180-gram vinyl at QRP and newly (AAA) remastered from the original, while a replica tip-on jacket completes the package.
