GEORGIA SEA ISLAND SINGERS - JOIN THE BAND (LP)

Georgia Sea Island Singers Join The Band on LP

The latest in Mississippi Records series featuring music from the Alan Lomax archives. The Georgia Sea Island Singers were a vocal group of unparalleled depth and Join The Band features some beautifully sorrowful a cappella songs, some raucous stompin' and shoutin' sessions and even a couple tracks accompanied by a drum and fife band, along with a banjo player. Altogether a nice mix of material recorded in the homes and churches of this small community by Alan Lomax between 1959 and 1962. This LP also features 3 never before released tracks, photographs and an insert with liner notes by Nathan Salsburg, all housed in an old school "tip on" sleeve.
