(V/A)- The Rain Don't Fall On Me: Country Blues 1927-1952 (Mississippi Records, 2010 MSR-073)

"Compilation of [mostly] prewar country blues & gospel. Features popular artists such as Blind Willie Johnson, Gary Davis, Bukka White, and Memphis Minnie alongside unfairly less documented artists such as Sonny Boy & his Pals, Lulu Jackson & Willie Mae Williams. Could be viewed as a sequel to their Last Kind Words compilation. Some heavy meditative songs and some dance numbers too." (Vortex Records)

Hot off the record-press. Yet another fine selection of venerable vintage gemstones compiled by those good folks at Mississippi Records. God, I love what they do. Make sure to go buy their LPs. 320 vinyl rip by yours truly

via johnnykmoe



Xpinger | January 16, 2008

He began performing when he was a child. The roads he traveled were long and sometimes very hard but most of them have been shared with Sam Carr. In the 50's he and Sam were picked up by the Philip's label. They were one of the first acts Sam Philips picked up for his newly formed company.

"The Mighty King, Frank Frost" is one of the most incredible harp men you will ever hear. He ought to be he learned from one of the most revered harp player's in the world, Sonny Boy Williamson, of "King Biscuit Time" fame.
