Recorded in Atlanta, Georgia, 1963...

After Willie Rockomo and Peg Leg Howell, Buddy Moss was the first guy I recorded outside of Tennessee. I was a freshman at Emory. Bob Koester, from Delmark, was austioning an old Buddy Moss 78 in a Schwann catalogue, and the ad read something like "one of the finest guitarists who ever lived...if only be was still alive." I remembered bearing Moss' name from peg Leg Howell, so I found out be lived down on Park Avenue. He was still playing, but only for himself and friends. I went down there and he didn't have electricity, so I invited him up to my house for dinner. And we had dinner, and afterwards, he played in my living room for my family, and I recorded it. That's when I realized blues singers weren't just in Memphis - they were in Atlanta, and everywhere else. ~ George Mitchell (from the liner notes)
