georgia sea island singers: join the band

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