various: which way does the blood red river flow

Compilation of some of the best songs recorded for the Testament label between 1961 and 1967. Here we have the deep spirituals of Fred and Annie McDowell, the haunting music of Peg Leg Howell, the long form lonesome blues of Skip James contemporary Jack Owens, the pretty drifting tunes of Elijah Brown, and the plaintive ballads of Jimmie Tarlton. A really intense and strong record. No filler allowed - just the heaviest stuff we could find. Old school 'tip on' cover. A co-release with our friends at Sutro Park, the king of all contemporary blues reissue labels.
