Notes:
Recorded in Oakland, California in 1959; Los Gatos, California on October 5, 1960; Berkeley, California on December 14, 1969.

Arhoolie reissued two of Big Joe Williams' seminal rediscovery albums on one disc in 1990. The first, 1960's Tough Times, ranks among his best; the second, 1969's Thinking of What They Did to Me, isn't as strong, but the two albums provide an excellent introduction to this Delta bluesman. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
