M. Scott Morris - Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal -- 3/9/2001

"Our whole idea was to tie the music to the land," 54-year-old Eddie Thomas said. "We wanted to make that connection."

The brothers have taken their equipment on the road to record Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe's "When the Levee Breaks" at the foot of the levee northwest of Walls and "61 Highway Blues" by Fred McDowell in a pecan grove on the side of Old Highway 61. "We wanted to record these things on location," he said.

"We wanted to get a feeling for being there. We wanted to breathe the same air these musicians breathed years ago..."

"Some of these people wrote their songs 100 years ago and we're still influenced by them," Frank Thomas said. "Think of the power of that.”
