2011, Mississippi
VINYL FORMAT. The latest in our series featuring music from the Alan Lomax archives. The Georgia Sea Island Singers were a vocal group of unparalleled depth. Some beautiful sorrowful accapella songs, some raucous stompin' and shoutin' sessions and even a couple tracks accompanied by a drum and fife band along with a banjo player. Altogether a nice mix of material recorded in the homes & churches of this small community by Alan Lomax between 1959 and 1962. This LP features three never before released tracks, an insert with liner notes by Nathan Salsburg and photographs and its all housed in an old school "tip on" sleeve.
