Wolf"s at the Door: Lost Recordings From the Spirits of the South LP [Vinyl]
Price 20.69 - 21.18 USD
In the 60s blues obsessive Bengt Olsson traveled to America in search of the fringe players who helped define the genre in the 30s and 40s. These masters, many barely recorded, quickly faded into obscurity when their medium left them poor, wolves at the door. What Olsson captured was a robust slice of haunting blues and gospel that would have otherwise been completely forgotten. Wolf"s At The Door is eerie, celebratory, dark and redemptive, fragile, lonely and scandalous. It is about drunken revelers at a bootleggers house telling dirty jokes while teaching each other a four-part harmony to a gospel standard. It is the underbelly of the underbelly and all these tracks are presented here for the first time ever. 180 gram vinyl.Tracks: Johnny Wilson (Lum Guffin)2. Sherman"s Blues (Walter Miller)3.
