The Washboard Sam collection containing 21 of his best performances recorded between 1936 and 1947, a span of years that takes in much of his recording career. The selections are divided equally, for the most part, between Sam's two preferred tempos: the slow purposeful ambling gait and the upbeat rocking shuffle that can make your feet start patting the floor before you even realize that you're doing it.
