Reviews :
"These LPs are a relative bargain, and both of them (This Is Buddy Guy! and Mr. Scrapper's Blues) are worthy of snapping up before they disappear, especially when compared to the cost of clean, rare originals — if you can even find any OG copies of them, that is... Blackwell's music features his tight, single-note fingerpicked acoustic guitar style, which reminds me that I have to try to figure out some of these riffs on my own guitar soon! Ratings-wise, this Music gets a 10, and its Sound gets an 8. Sadly, Mr. Scrapper's Blues was to be Blackwell's last release during his lifetime, as it was issued in May 1962, just a few months before he was sadly killed in an unsolved mugging incident that October. I have to hope that Blackwell would be pleased to know that, 60-plus years on, people are still discovering and grooving on his music. Me, I discovered Scrapper Blackwell's Mr. Scrapper's Blues in a willy-nilly random manner, but after you read this review, I hope you can take a more informed plunge into this nice Bluesville series reissue of the original album that both looks and sounds fabulous." from Mark Smotroff, AnalogPlanet.com
