This music is the soul of Black America.
It makes me very proud to hear real downhome blues, and know where it comes from.
Awesome

This album reflects the struggles of the African-Americans during the times of racism in the south...his baritone for a voice is so depictive that it actually entices you to listen to the rest of the record.
Great job!
An Overlooked Gem of American Music

"Trouble in Mind" is one of the truly great albums of blues. It is a grand example of "folk" blues as presented by one of the greatest artists of the style. Big Bill Broonzy's music should be heard by everyone who likes true blues music that was borne out of the American south from old spirituals and traditional folk music. This is the blues far removed from the urban influence and polished electric guitar sounds that would follow.
Amazing end to a legendary career

Out of all of Broonzy's recordings, I like this set the most--it's like he's in the same room, playing just for you. The recording quality is impeccable and you can't even tell that his voice is going from cancer. It's just perfect!
Roots music to make America proud

The simple fact that he was dead a year later lends deep emotion to his reedy voice as it strains over his chopping right hand. Powerful lyrics taunt us to solve the centuries old racial injustice. This is the blues at its most fundamental and righteous.
