Justice recorded ten songs in Chicago in May 1929, four of which featured fiddler Reese Jarvis. His rendition of “Henry Lee,” included here, was featured in Harry Smith’s \u003cem\u003eAnthology of American Folk Music\u003c\/em\u003e and is perhaps his best-known work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with Knowler’s other publications (see \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.acousticguitar.com\/collections\/new\/products\/guitars-have-feelings-too-a-method-for-rural-guitarists\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGuitars Have Feelings Too\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.acousticguitar.com\/products\/listen-to-my-noise-the-guitar-stylings-of-george-riley-puckett\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eListen to My Noise: The Guitar Stylings of George Riley Puckett)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, you will come away with perspectives that allow the past to be creatively interpreted and applied to modern playing styles.
