5.0 out of 5 stars The best blues singers there ever were, black or white.. 9 July 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I have listened to the music of most of the great acoustic bluesmen, and there are many great ones, black and white. But Koerner, Ray and Glover are right on top, the best of the lot. The three albums I listened to almost constantly in the early sixties were ruined in a flood over 30 years ago, and though lamented, life got complicated and I never replaced them. I just figured these great bluesmen and there wonderful music had faded into memory like so many of the artists of the folk-blues revival. But recently I was counselling a secretary and friend on some personal matter and suddenly heard myself saying. "Man you got to be careful what you gonna do, you might hurt yourself, you might hurt your friends too, you got to be careful, little mama, what in the world you gonna do, you might hurt yourself, hang, hang for the rest of your life." She knows I'm crazy, but still asked me where the hell I got that bit of wisdom, and I told her from "Spider" John Koerner, etc., etc.

A few months later, she showed-up with "Blues, Rags, and Hollers", and my mind was blown. I rushed home from work straight-away and slipped the CD into the player with trepidation- would these guys sound as good as I remembered? Or would another memory best left in the past be diminished by the reality. Well, they were even better than I remembered. When Dave Ray suddenly burst into my late middle age world with "It's Alright" the music went right to the bone, complete with goosebumps. I'm a bit long in the tooth to be playing air- guitar, but there I was. And all these songs make me feel like that. The intensity of "One Kind Favor" is beyond wonderful, with Tony Glover's haunting harp intensifying every subtle riff of Dave's talking 12-String and haunting, strangely stirring vocals.

I think the boys might think this little review a bit over-the-edge, but I mean every word of it, in fact I think its understated. If you like acoustic blues-hell, if you like music, don't miss these albums.

Recently I heard George Carlin (another old fart) issue a dictum that white men should never sing the blues. He was referring of course to "The Blues Brothers" and in their case I heartily agree. But it is quite obvious that he's never heard Koerner, Ray, and Glover. I'm pretty sure that Bukka White, Leadbelly, Robert Johnson, and all the rest are smiling down on these three white boys with approval and respect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique voices, raw and witty renderings. 12 Oct 1999
By Jeff Radt - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I saw these guys perform when I was in grad school in Madison Wisconsin in the early 60's and at a coffee house in Milwaukee. They were great then and today their stuff holds up. Authentic, unembellished sexuality and wit; great twelve string from Ray.

5.0 out of 5 stars An unlikely combination of players in an unlikely setting. 4 Feb 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Blues masters at a tender age, before most white people, and some black, had a clue as to the raw power and beauty of the blues. These three cats blew it all away! It is truly a wonder that their intense style and mellow personalities didn't come to the attention of a wider audience. Oh well, those who were fortunate enough to be present as they pounded out the Rags and Hollers can attest to the infectious, addicting craziness that was always with these three characters. This classic album, in every sense, defined what an entire generation of future blues lovers could find only by listening to the original blues masters. Three white guys from Minneapolis, in the early sixties, sounding like Leadbelly! Remarkable! Spider John's odd numbered guitar strings, Snaker Ray's silken voice, Little Sun Glover's harp that still brings tears of joy after all these years. I can't think of a better introduction, to the blues, for this current and future generations to hone their eardrums and musical tastes on. This album never grows old...thanks John, David, and Tony!!!! Keep on linin' that track fellas
