Blind Lemon Jefferson was a commercial sensation, the large sales of his first releases revealing to Paramount and the other record companies the existence of a species of blues beyond the vaudeville stage and of an untapped market waiting to buy it. The first two volumes (of four) serve to remind us that those sales weren't simply a result of novelty, as had been the case with Mamie Smith; Jefferson was also a musical sensation, combining a piercing, wide-ranging voice with deft, imaginative guitar picking.

Press Quotes
I originally wrote 'some of the deftest, most imaginative guitar picking on record' there, but for the first purchasers of those records, the experience was altogether different; usually, the only comparison available would have been with the work of their local blues singer, and it's very difficult now to recapture the astonishment that must have resulted from putting 'Long Lonesome Blues' on the Graphonola for the first time. Nevertheless, these two (including Vol. 1) excellently remastered CDs do enable the listener to get some way towards re-enacting that experience.
—Chris Smith, Blues & Rhythm
