Album Review
Lipscomb, Mance – “Mance Lipscomb Volume 4” – [Arhoolie Records Inc.]
mickeyslim 12/9/2020 12-inch, Blues
Navasota, Texas songster Mance Lipscomb recording once again for Arhoolie Records in Berkely. Discovered in 1960 during the blues roots discovery boom of the ’60s, Lispcomb, unlike most, had no earlier recordings. This is his fifth full-length, fourth in a series for Arhoolie. Most of his recordings, including the A-side on this release, were “live recordings” done in one session, in a single take. Extensive liner notes detail the unusual plight of Lipscomb, including his rise to fame as an important figure in the folk music revival period.
Excellent stories, raw gritty vocals. This is some top-notch, front-porch shit. Enjoy!
