Desperate Man Blues is a superb collection of blues and roots music featuring lots of well known names like Charley Patton, Blind Willie McTell, Son House, Lonnie Johnson, Blind Willie Johnson and The Carter Family, as well as other lesser known artists such as Gitfiddle Jim, Uncle Bunt Stephens and many more. The collection is a soundtrack companion to the DVD which chronicles the life of record collector and producer Joe Bussard - founder of roots label Fonotone. An excellect introduction to some of the less-traveled paths of American music.
