Sleepy John Estes wasn't a great singer, and he was a barely passable guitarist, and yet he managed to sustain an intermittent career in the blues for over 50 years. He was able to do that because he was an amazingly subtle songwriter, with a clear grasp of characterization, location, and metaphor, traits not usually associated with the country blues. This fine single-disc collection of his early 78s has several examples of Estes' deceptive skill, including the blues classic "Diving Duck Blues," which sports the immortal lines "if the river was whiskey/and I was a diving duck/I'd dive to the bottom/and I never would come up," lines that have since shown up in countless other blues songs. Other gems on this anthology from Catfish Records include a bit of domestic advice ("Better Clean Up at Home"), some self-analysis ("I Ain't Gonna Be Worried No More"), and even a study in pop dynamics ("Time Is Drawing Near"). The deceptively simple "Brownsville Blues" equates a stalled car with a stalled life, while the haunting "Floating Bridge" is a magnificent bit of cautionary autobiography, complete with a metaphoric (and almost literal) death and resurrection. Time after time one finds that these songs, which appear so simple and calm on the surface, reveal surprising depth and unexpected lyrical turns when closely examined. There is simply no one else in country blues quite like Estes. ~Review by Steve Leggett

Tennessee blues poet Sleepy John Estes made his recorded debut in 1929 with the song ""Broken Hearted, Ragged and Dirty Too"". In '35 John teamed up with Hammie Nixon and they went on to record many classic sides together until WWII. After a twenty-year absence Delmark's Bob Koester rediscovered John and presented him to the new blues audience in `62. This led to a series of LPs and a reinvigorated career. This album was recorded in November of 1974 at concerts in Japan, one of the very first tours of that country by a blues artist - preceded only by a B.B. King State Department appearance. The Estes tour was a great success and even resulted in an Estes track appearing on the Japanese Top 100 chart!

Nothing on this set rivals his best '60s-era recordings for the Delmark label (those can be found on The Legend of Sleepy John Estes), but this album is still worthwhile. Estes is joined by the most sympathetic accompanists he would ever know: Hammie Nixon on harmonica and Yank Rachell on mandolin and second guitar. Michael Bloomfield, then a fiery young guitarist just appearing on the Chicago scene, joins in on a few tunes, too. But not even his presence can rouse the somnolent Estes. ~ Brian Beatty

John Adam Estes (Sleepy John) known as The Tennesse Blues Poet, plays guitar & sings on 12 tracks w. The Tennesse Jug Busters, Hammie Nixon-harmonica, Yank Rachell-mandolin & gtr, & Mike Bloomfield-gtr, 1964.

Recorded at Sound Studios, Chicago, Illinois on March 3, 1964.

Sleepy John Estes (vocals, guitar); Yank Rachell (vocals, guitar, mandolin); Michael Bloomfield (guitar); Hammie Nixon (harmonica).
