| Bahamian, Joseph Spence, born in 1910, was in his 40's when the first recordings were made of his unique guitar style and singing. His records were an important part of the 60's folk revival, and Spence influenced everyone from Richard Thompson to The Grateful Dead, Ry Cooder, and Taj Mahal.
Joseph Spence is known as a joyful and natural guitarist and singer. As he sang, he'd often hum or interject with fast-rhyming patter. He came up among the fishermen of the Bahamas, singing vocal harmonies with them late into the night, his music was wholly his own, and so original that it has inspired multiple generations ever since he was first discovered in the late 1950s. This new record was made in 1965 and features live and studio recordings released for the first time. |
