Mance Lipscomb: Portrait of a Texas Bluesman
Harold Bronson, Music World, February 1973
MANCE LIPSCOMB is one of those bluesmen who has been promulgated by the blues revival. It's really too bad that his status is not one of the "greats" as he is quite a bit better than those so termed, but Mance didn't start touring and recording until eleven years ago.
