2011, Mississippi
VINYL FORMAT. His first recordings
helmed by the legendary Alan Lomax in
1959. Twelve songs that highlight the
depth of his repertoire - from droning
and hypnotic versions of songs that
later became blues standards such as
"Shake Em On Down" and "Good Morning
Little Schoolgirl" to his deeply felt
renditions of spirituals like "Keep Your
Lamp Trimmed & Burning." Accompanied at
times by some amazing hair comb playing
and beautiful backup vocals. Liner notes
by Nathan Salsburg.
