About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Rory Block is quite impressive. Ignoring the fact that she is a white woman singing older-style blues in the 1990s, Block compares favorably to many of the top country-blues artists of the 1930s. Highlights of her very enjoyable set include Robert Johnson's "Terraplane Blues," a pair of Tommy Johnson classics and two songs recorded by Bessie Smith ("Do Your Duty" and "Weepin' Willow Blues"). Block's own originals (which have intelligent lyrics) sound more contemporary (with the influences of R&B, pop and gospel being felt), which alters the general mood of the release a bit. However, even with its brief playing time (38 minutes), her CD is highly recommended as a fine example of the work of this talented blues performer. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

November 06, 2002: Loved it. It's great to hear a female voice behind some of the old traditional blues standards. The songs are not over-produced giving the cd a great raw blues feel. It's amazing what Rory Block can do with a guitar. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.
