Yazoo CD 2202: A double CD packaged in a DVD-size digi-pac.
Also Includes: cover art by Robert Crumb
- An oversized booklet insert with extensive graphics, a Crumb comic strip and notes including a hilarious expose on the lunacy of collecting.
46 of the rarest and greatest blues and country 78s from the 1920s and early 30s. Included are 2 newly discovered masterpieces by legendary blues figure Son House, “Mississippi County Farm Blues” and “Clarksdale Moan.”
Likewise, country enthusiasts will be excited to hear the long lost, often believed never issued Georgia Pot Lickers record, both sides featuring duet fiddling by all time greats Lowe Stokes and A.A. Gray.
Many of the tracks like Luke Jordan’s “If I Call You,” have never been heard even by the most advanced collectors.
