Review by Alycia Morales

Johnnie Temple's album, "From Mississippi to Chicago 1935-1940," is a captivating collection of blues tracks that showcases his unique style and powerful vocals. The album features some of his most popular tracks, including "Lead Pencil Blues" and "Jacksonville Blues," which highlight his ability to tell stories through his music.

Throughout the album, Temple's guitar playing is exceptional, with his fingerpicking and slide guitar work adding depth and texture to each track. His vocals are equally impressive, with his gritty, soulful voice perfectly capturing the emotions of each song.

The album's production is simple yet effective, allowing Temple's talent to shine through without any unnecessary distractions. The songs are well-arranged, with each track flowing seamlessly into the next, creating a cohesive listening experience.
