The title to the contrary, "I Have to Paint My Face": Mississippi Blues -- 1960 also includes recordings from California and Lousiana; regardless, these field recordings collected by Arhoolie label founder Chris Strachwitz are invaluable documents of gifted bluesmen who otherwise received virtually no opportunities to record their music. They include Sam Chatmon, Robert Curtis Smith, Wade Walton and Jasper Love. (~~Jason Ankeny)

"In the summer of 1960 I had made my first trip through Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi with British blues scholar, Paul Oliver and his wife Valerie. Paul's homework and dedication to meet, interview and record a good many older blues artists for a series of programs sponsored by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) was in large measure responsible for the success of that first trip. This CD brings you the sounds of the Mississippi blues as we were able to meet and document them during that very hot and humid summer. The rediscovery of several historic blues legends like Son House, Mississippi John Hurt, Bukka White, Big Boy Crudup along with the discovery of the remarkable Fred McDowell, was still to come!" (~~Excerpt from liner notes by Chris Strachwitz)

"...wonderful music, not only Chatmon's poignant and sometimes bitter songs but also driving and exciting sides by Robert Curtis Smith, the famous barber Wade Walton and Jasper Love; very few of these artists had other opportunities to make more recordings and that's a great pity...everything is excellent and there are no low points. Another one to get, definitely." (~~Robert Sacré, Blues Gazette)
