Fairly standard but exceedingly well executed country blues, from an artist who came by his skill the old-fashioned way: over the course of his long life, Guitar Gabriel has epitomized the guitar-slinging wanderer. A onetime acquaintance of the legendary Blind Boy Fuller, Guitar Gabe (born Robert Lewis Jones) has an easygoing style, pulling off those riffs that are standard in the genre but sound so good when they're done right--as they are here. --

Not only is the music great, though not revolutionary, but also the story of the final years of Guitar Gabriel during which this album was made is heartwarming and mesmerizing (it is told in the booklet). Sound is great because of the involvement of audio pioneer and musician Mark Levinson (through his foundation) in the mastering process.

If you 're looking for a break from the contemporary blues pop of Kenny Wayne Shepard or Johnny Lang, try "Deep in the South," a collection of authentic sounding blues from the late Guitar Gabriel, who died in 1996 just as he was gaining critical praise. Released on the Cello label through Sire records, this set showcases Guitar Gabriel's — a.k.a Nyles Jones' — raw vocals and rootsy guitar picking. It is a genuine mix that fans of old-school blues will enjoy.
Born in Decatur, Ga., and reared in North Carolina, Gabriel is heart-wrenching, from "Expressin' the Blues" to "Down on the Farm" to "Juice headed Woman".

Reviews

QUOTE
Guitar Gabriel is dead — gone nearly three years. He was a blues man who didn't attain the fame of Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, B.B. King or any of the other kings of the blues.
When he was 45, in 1970, he almost cracked the big time with a single, "The Welfare Blues," but he then quickly faded into obscurity.
The late Mr. Gabriel — Robert Jones to his boyhood friends — has been given another chance with the release of an excellent dozen-song disc of original blues. It's too late for him but not for us who are still breathing air. On this disc, the namesake of that earlier Gabriel can also tear down walls.
His voice has a resigned, weary quality that talks its way through his melodies at an easy walking tempo. Although his was a good voice, it was his guitar playing that distinguished him.
On his steel string acoustic, Gabriel fingerpicked in a rare style that mixes rhythm and melody. For a quick point of reference, think of the hippie-picker-grown-old, David Bromberg.
The liner notes, consisting of John Creech's well-written short story about meeting Guitar Gabriel, is the prize in this crackerjack album
