"The soundtrack to the incredible film Leave No Trace was composed and performed by Dickon Hinchliffe of the Tindersticks. Hinchliffe creates a dark, droney landscape of string arrangements and Spacemen 3-esue guitar reverberations. With this soundtrack Hinchliffe sits amongst the great composers of our day such as William Basinski, Ennio Morricone and Jóhann Jóhannsson. Pressed on forest green vinyl."

"While The Tennors burned up the charts in Jamaica regularly in the late sixties into the '70s, their legacy in America has not achieved the greatness of many of their equally successful contemporaries like The Melodians or the Techniques. Do The Reggay Dance is a deep look at the best Tennors productions from their classic late-60s period, including many tracks that have not been on vinyl since their original 7-inch release. The music on Do The Reggay Dance is classic rocksteady music from one of the best bands of the genre. Do The Reggay Dance showcases the first time all (but one) of the featured songs have been on vinyl since they were first released on now impossibly rare 45 singles. The songs were mastered by legendary reissue engineer Gary Hobish and designed by Barbara Bersche, the designer behind last year's Grammy winning historic package Voices Of Mississippi. This is the follow up release on black vinyl to the August 2020 RSD limited edition red vinyl version."

2021 restock. "Live at the Bootleggers captures a moment in time, and a place in history when community was created around the buying and drinking of illegal liquor, moonshine, white lightning. It was recorded live at a bootlegger's homebase in Fayette County, Tennessee in 1971 at the behest of Lattie Murrell, whom Bengt Olsson and Bill Barth had tracked down to document. Besides Murrell, Barth, and William Floyd Davis, the contributors to this record just happened to be spellin' with the same bootlegger that evening; they are unknown voices, arising with glory from the soak of moonshine, and then fading back into obscurity."

"Peg Leg Howell was a forgotten, impoverished blues artist when musicologist George Mitchell recorded him at age 75 in 1963. It is these recordings that make up The Legendary Peg Leg Howell record, originally on Testament. But Peg Leg was actually part of the original wave of blues recording artists, recording for Columbia in 1926. His story is like many: when success proved elusive, he turned his back on music and settled for bootlegging and other types of work until rediscovered in the '60s. By then, he was old and fragile: qualities that translate beautifully on this quiet, haunting record that would be the bookend to a recording output that was tragically small but truly rich. The Legendary Peg Leg Howell is a sonic novel, filled with storytelling, drama, history and sadness. Hope and compassion. It is a classic. Reissue includes amazing front cover woodcut of Peg Leg."

"These recordings, made in 1963-4, showcase Fred McDowell in his prime. As recorded by Peter Welding, My Home Is in the Delta finds Fred and his wife basking in the blues and gospel. Unlike Amazing Grace, which was also originally released by Testament and reissued by Sutro Park, this album is barer, a little more raw and personal. As if Fred is in a room right next to you playing the blues with his slide style that set the pace for everyone who came after. Fred McDowell is the king of the hill country blues, and My Home Is in the Delta is the crown. Includes classics such as 'Going Down South' and 'Waiting for My Baby.' A true treasure, remastered for this release by sound-mastermind Gary Hobish. Pressed on 180 gram vinyl with a beautiful tip-on jacket. Note: this is the original ultra-rare cover."

"This 1973 release features some of the last Bukka White recordings featuring songs that span his career. At the time, White played on Beale Street in Mississippi regularly, and his chops are dead on and his feel simply grooves. His improvisational vocal style along with his driving playing make this record a final Memphis party and show why he was one of the Kings of the Blues. Originally on Biograph, available for the first time since its original release." On 180 gram vinyl.

"Luther Dickinson is most well known as the head of the North Mississippi All-Stars and the lead guitarist for the Black Crowes. He has become known as one of the best guitar players around, whose slide guitar style has been likened to the great Mississippi Fred McDowell. As a young person in Northern Mississippi, Luther was schooled his father, Jim Dickinson, and by the legendary Otha Turner and R.L. Boyce as to the finer aspects of blues guitar playing. Hambone's Meditations is his debut solo outing. The record is a soft, fragile and beautiful offering that provides a stage for Dickinson's soulful, masterful melodic blues stylings."

"Jessie Mae Hemphill was at the peak of her recording and touring career when these tracks were recorded in 1987. Those who were lucky enough to catch one of her live performances saw something utterly unique in the world of blues. Jessie Mae-The She Wolf--was the Queen of Hill County blues and Feelin' Good was the quintessential recording, finding her in the studio with legendary musicologist David Evans and Otha Turner band member RL Boyce. The result was one of the great Hill Country records, full of loose, infectious grooves and great, gritty song writing. Jessie Mae Hemphill came from a long line of blues greats, including her grandfather Sid Hemphill, who Alan Lomax recorded. Feelin' Good never felt so good." On 180 gram vinyl.

The sessions that created New Blues And Gospel were the last before Reverend Gary Davis' death and feature the only studio version of 'Whistlin' Blues.' This album was never released in its original form on CD and some of the tracks are not available anywhere else. One of the finest releases by one of the best blues guitar pickers."

2021 restock. "Recorded by folklorist David Evans in 1979 and 1980, these are Burnside's first recordings with electric guitar and also his first with a band. That band was the Sound Machine, a band he literally created himself out of members of his own family, blending raw Mississippi blues with soul, funk, R&B, contemporary beats and other urban flavors to make a marvelous amalgam of his own. Especially notable is a version of 'Sitting on Top of the World' with Burnside on slide guitar that, with Jackson's help, neatly evokes the sound and feel of a fife and drum band. Although Burnside became the darling of the blues crowd and hailed as something of an overnight success, one listen to this disc tells you he was already forging a new chapter in the Mississippi blues tradition with these recordings. Well, well, well." On 180 gram vinyl.

"Tin Can Trust is Los Lobos' first collection of new original material in four years. The Grammy-winning East L.A. band's lineup has remained uninterrupted since 1984, when saxophonist/keyboardist Steve Berlin joined original members Louie Pérez (guitar, drums, vocals), David Hidalgo (guitar, violin, accordion, percussion, vocals), Cesar Rosas (guitar, vocals) and Conrad Lozano (bass, vocals). Seven songs on the album are distinguished and genius Hidalgo-Pérez collaborations, including the opening track 'I'll Burn It Down,' (featuring Susan Tedeschi). Three others were written in whole or in part by Rosas -- including the album's two Spanish-language numbers: the cumbia 'Yo Canto' and the norteño 'Mujer Ingrata' -- and display Los Lobos' signature seamless infusion of Mexican folk songs into rock music. Also included in Tin Can Trust -- a cover of the Grateful Dead's 'West L.A. Fadeaway' -- offering a nod to the bands' shared history that extends back into the 1980s when the Angelenos befriended and opened shows for their northern peers." Gatefold sleeve.

Subtitled: Lost Recordings From The Spirits Of The South. "While the Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton helped the world rediscover Muddy Waters and Sun House, blues obsessives like 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. Ashley Thompson, as a teenager, sang 'Mingelwood Blues' with Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers. But his story ended there until Bengt found him and recorded a set of songs that showcase a Thompson whose voice is now one with the gentle angels. Bishop Perry Tillis left the blues circuit, believing it to be tied with the devil, and went back home to preach. The recordings Bengt made of him preserved a legacy that is ever growing today. Jugsmen Dewey Corley and Walter Miller might have been the most well known of Bengt's subjects, yet their recordings for him carry with them a deep purity that has rarely been heard before. 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. Featuring: Lum Guffin, Walter Miller, Bishop Perry Tillis, Cleo Williams & Howard Williams, Ashley Thompson, Joe Thownsend & Bill Barth, Dewey Corley & Walter Miller, Bootlegger's Quartet, Lattie Murrell, David Johnson & Guitar Sam, Lonnie Fuqua and David Johnson." 180 gram vinyl.

"Bull at his most righteously drugged, this third release is a mere two songs spread over a looped path of colored time. Bull as guru. Bull as shaman. E Pluribus Unum takes his past triumphs and brings them higher, to an acid-singed multi-colored height. At the end of the day, Bull's prowess on the guitar wins over everything and the result is an answer to the psychedelic wonder-bands that sprang into the scene since his last record. The instrumental answer to 'In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.' Original artwork." 180 gram vinyl; originally released by Vanguard in 1968.
