i woke up one morning in may (mississippi records)

iwokeuponemorninginmay

another collection of crackling history pastpresentandfuture from mississippi records american primitive series.  fast becoming one of my favourite labels.  it’s on lovely vinyl and limited.  as usual.

you get fourteen haunted tracks of country blues dirge and hissing folk ghost in the wires.  it’s stark, bloody bones and broken hearts stark.  it’s simply voice old and long dead with wood and strings and not much else.  it’s harsh and beautiful all at the same time.

if i could, i’d make every record sound like this.
