This was the first commercial recording by Snowden in 26 years. The same ensemble, under the supervision of Chris Albertson recorded a second volume titled: Blues, Ballads, and Jumpin' Jazz which was released in 1990. ReceptionThe album has generally received high acclaim. Although one writer appears to disregard the album with a single sentence, calling it "just plain sad, lacking even the vitality of rock and roll."[2] Others have noted Johnson's "plaintive, slightly nasal voice"[3] and indicated that he "sings smooth blues and sentimental ballads with equal skill."[1] The guitarists styles are described as distinctive, yet complementary,[1] and Snowden is described as a "sympathetic accompanist" with "an easy swingingly graceful style."[3] One reviewer calls Johnson's performance on the blues numbers "convincing, affecting interpretations," but indicates that his performance on the three ballads is less consistent. He states, "On 'Memories of You', his approach is gentle and lyrical, and yet his controlled inner tension builds tremendous emotional power. Two other ballads, his own compositions are too stickily sentimental to be effective."[3] Track listing
