As its title indicates, The Blues & Salvation, a two-disc anthology of previously unreleased masters lives at the cross section of classic roots blues and gospel. Filled with over two hours of music, the album features both giants of the past like the Rev. Gary Davis, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee as well as a number of artists not quite household names-Jemima James, Louisiana Red, and George Higgs-who clearly deserve to be. This is a collection of 38 gems, many reminiscent of the kinds of musical collations that were once available via Folkways Records that no blues enthusiast should ignore.
