With Lee Morgan, Wynton Kelly and Paul Chambers in 1959, the fabulous trombonist at the threshold of his Jazz Messengers stint, with dates for Miles, Sonny Clark and John Coltrane already under his belt.

Terrific collection of spiritual and gospel songs performed in informal non-church settings between 1965-1973 — mostly guitar-accompanied and performed by active or former blues artists.

Says Mississippi — ‘Some call them the thinking man’s AC/DC & some call them the working man’s Roky Erickson but really there is nothing that compares to Dead Moon. D.I.Y on every imaginable level, brilliant song writing, perfect elemental stripped down playing, honest & intense vocals. It’s all here.’

His only solo album, from 1968, when he was on the Greenwich Village circuit, plaiting together blues and Eastern styles in the same neck of the woods as Fahey, Basho et al, but in his own way.

Rugged 1974 dub LP replete with Upsetters and Tubby vibes, including the killer Macca Bee, and a nice vocal-with-deejay Love Me With All Your Heart, and featuring fine fleet flute froughout.

‘A work of intimacy, love, struggle, grandeur and sonic adventure,’ recorded in Geneva during 2013-4.

I really felt the need to work on something like In Major in the moment I started it. It’s instantly joy!
And only back then, during the storm, I thought of working on an album…

‘Second, final album for Deram, originally out in 1971. An absolute classic of melancholy (borderline morbid) folk-rock somewhere between Pearls Before Swine, Leonard Cohen, and a suicide prevention hotline.’

1975 sequel to KT Meets The Upsetter At The Grass Roots Of Dub. Here’s Steve Barker in The Wire: ‘a chance to hear it as it should be heard, containing as it does a few moments of sheer Tubby magic, including Unit Dub, a pure and simple drum and bass outing with the bassline mixed up front and twisted through filters while a shrilly splitting hi-hat is left to steer the riddim. Definitely in the top ten of all Tubby dub mixes.’

Terrific, fresh compilation of rockabilly, country, and early rock instrumentals from this new label, via Mississippi. Graveyards, trains, ghosts, dread…
