Fight On -- Your Time Ain't Long

Add Item to Want List
LP (Item 478025) Mississippi, 1920s/1930s -- Condition: New Copy

Beautiful between-the-wars recordings from the American underground -- a mix of blues and gospel sides with a tremendously haunting feel! The set's something of a counterpart to the excellent Life Is A Problem record on Mississippi -- and like that one, it's pulled from a range of rare singles that mostly feature spare guitar and vocals -- surprisingly powerful stuff, given the recording techniques -- and often delivered with a freshness that goes way beyond familiar conceptions you might have about the music. Titles include "Great Reaping Day" by Bessie Johnson, "Promised True & Grand" by Bukka White, "Where The Sun Never Goes Down" by Willie Williams, "Wouldn't Mind Dying" by Blind Mamie Forehand, "Won't That Be A Happy Time" by Louise & Joseph, "Take A Stand" by McIntorsh & Edwards, and "Fight On Your Time Ain't Long" by Bo Weavil Jackson.  © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
