Sure Makes A Man Feel Bad - Field Recordings From The 1960's and 70's:
On today's show we spotlight some remarkable field recordings from the 1960's and 70's. During the first hour we play recordings made in Texas prisons in the 60's by scholar Bruce Jackson. Several collections of his field recordings havebeen issued although the bulk are long out-of-print. Today we feature selections from all those albums. In the second hour we feature selections from the albums 'Sorrow Come Pass Me Around', 'Ruff Stuff: The Roots Of Texas Blues Guitar' and a collection of recordings made by pianist the Grey Ghost. 'Sorrow Come Pass Me Around' is a collection of spiritual and gospel songs recorded between 1965-1973 by David Evans performed by active or former blues artists. 'Ruff Stuff:The Roots Of Texas Blues Guitar' is a collection of Texas field recordings capture by Tary Owens. Owens also recorded the Grey Ghost in 1965, eventually issuing these recordings in the 1980's.
