Music reviews of Deep River of Song: Georgia
Music Review: Step into history
Rating: 4 Stars
To a certain extent, in terms of historical purposes, I feel that almost all the Lomax recordings are essential documents. Having said that, they all attain various degrees of musical success. What I mean is, some you'll want to hear over and over again, and others you'll feel you can do without.This is one of my favorite discs in the Deep River Of Song Series.
I have noticed that this website doesn't bring up every disc in this series with just a "Deep River Of Song" search. In the interest of helping people find these discs here, I'll name every other disc in the series.
South Carolina
Bahamas 1935
Bahamas 1935 Volume 2
Mississippi: The Blues Lineage
Mississippi: Saints and Sinners
Black Texicans
Big Brazos
Black Appalachia
Virginia and the Piedmont
Alabama
Now, onto Georgia. First and foremost, this disc is an essential purchase for Blind Willie McTell fans. From a handful of excellent performances to some commentary and small interviews interlaced with the music, he once again displays his full wealth of musical and emotional power. Just hearing him talk about parents in the fields singing during the old days will be enough to get you all choked up.
There are also a couple good tracks of some of the music from one of the Georgia Sea Islands.
If you are wondering which few discs to pick and choose from the Deep River Of Song series, I would definitely recommend this be one of the ones you choose to buy.
