[1][2][3] On this album, Rush sings and plays acoustic guitar and harmonica, unaccompanied by other musicians.

[4][5] On AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine said, "The title Rawer than Raw is a nod to how this 2020 album is rawer than Raw, the 2007 record that found Bobby Rush devoting himself to acoustic blues for the first time in his lengthy career....

"[1] In Blues Blast Magazine, John Mitchell said, "... this one mixes Bobby's songs (some reprised from earlier, electric discs) with a few of his influences, all drawn from the Mississippi Delta tradition.... Maybe a second volume is called for, Bobby!

Meanwhile enjoy this fine album of authentic Delta blues played by the one and only Bobby Rush.

It’s an outstanding release, raw and authentic, with Bobby Rush's own personal stamp on each track.
