Two new from Mississippi
November 15, 2010 - 03:46 AM
I emailed the specialty mailing list about these the other day but here's the news for everyone else: couple new titles coming from Mississippi Records. Should be in stock in the next few weeks. Here's the official descriptions:
Compilation of prewar country blues & gospel. Features popular artists such as Blind Willie Johnson, Gary Davis, Bukka White, and Memphis Minnie alongside unfairly less documented artists such as Sonny Boy & his Pals, Lulu Jackson & Willie Mae Williams. Could be viewed as a sequel to their Last Kind Words compilation. Some heavy meditative songs and some dance numbers too.

Compilation of gospel songs from the Pitch and Gusman labels, a small label based out of Savannah, Georgia. The labels were operated from the Gusman Record Store, under the direction of Waymon Jones, from the 1960s until 1978. Raw and ragged recordings from the 1960s and 1970s. Most tracks have a heavy guitar sound with loads of reverb. At times haunting & at times joyous. Real rockin' homemade music by & for the people. Old school "tip on" sleeve. Liner note sheet too.
In addition, over the next weeks and months, MR have the following in the pipe:
Abner Jay - Last Ole Minestral Man 10" (His last recording session - never before released)
Various Artists - Ishilan - N - Tenebre (Contemporary African acoustic guitar recordings)
Abner Jay - True story of (Repress)
Various Artists - Brass Pins & Matchheads (International 78s compilation)
Marisa Anderson - Golden Hour (Pretty guitar stuff)
