Description

From the Moses Asch archives comes a pair of early blues, gospel and jazz compilations. Lead Belly, celebrated albeit volatile American folk and blues singer / guitarist, graces this first volume with “Defense Blues” and “Keep Your Hands off Her,” but you’ll also find powerful performances in the Josh White’s bluesy “Careless Love,” the stacked harmony of The Thrasher Wonders and Sister Ernestine Washington’s plaintive query “Does Jesus Care?” over backing by Bunk Johnson’s Jazz Band. Volume One continues on FW00AA2.
