The sixth and final volume in the series assembles the fruits of
Blind Boy Fuller's final studio sessions, all dating to the first half of 1940. Despite failing health,
Fuller is at his most incendiary on these sides -- "Shake It, Baby" is among his most galvanizing dance tunes, while "Little Woman You're So Sweet" stands as one of his finest originals. Most energetic, however, are the sanctified songs, including "No Stranger Now," "Jesus Is a Holy Man" and "Twelve Gates to the City" -- with his death less than a year away,
Fuller burns with spiritual intensity, clearly yearning for some kind of redemption in his final months. ~ Jason Ankeny
