Cliff Scott lived (lives?) in Dranesville, Georgia, and learned a good deal about music from his neighbor Dixon Hunt. Approximately 40 years old in when these four tunes were recorded on March 24, 1969, Scott shows himself to be skilled at deep bottleneck blues, more easygoing, steady rolling tunes, and percussive, danceable instrumentals. "Woke Up this Morning" has a bit of the same feel as Muddy Waters' plantation recordings, minus Muddy's big-city visions.
