1972 Fantasy Two Record Stereo Release of Composer/Guitarist/Acoustic Blues Vocalist Furry Lewis Entitled Shake 'Em on Down, Remastering by Mike Reese, Legendary Composer Lewis Plays the Guitar and Sings, Record One Originally Released as Prestige/Bluesville 1036 "Back on My Feet Again" Recorded April of 1961, Record Two Originally Released as Prestige/Bluesville 1037 "Done Changed My Mind" Recorded May of 1961 - "This 20-song single CD reissues Furry Lewis' first modern commercial recordings, done for two Prestige/Bluesville albums (Back on My Feet Again, Done Changed My Mind) in April and May of 1961 at Sun Studios in Memphis. Lewis is in brilliant form throughout, his fingers nearly as fast and his voice as rich as they were 30-odd years earlier. The disc includes the definitive version of "John Henry" (not just Lewis' definitive version -- the definitive version), one of the greatest vocal performances ever put on record and a guitar workout so dazzling that you'd swear more than one guy was playing. What's more, with the extended running time available on tape (Lewis' sessions in the 1920s having been captured on 78-rpm discs with limited running times), he really stretched out here and obviously loved doing it. The slight reverb in the studio also gives Lewis a larger-than-life stature on this recording." - Selections on Record One Are Traditional Compositions John Henry, When My Baby Left Me, the Title Track, Big Chief Blues, Old Blue, I'm Going to Brownsville, Back on My Feet Again, White Lightnin', Roberta & W.C.
