CD: Arkansas Blues Vol. 1 - Stackhouse SRC-1910

KEEP IT TO YOURSELF: ARKANSAS BLUES VOLUME 1 -- SOLO PERFORMANCES
SRC-1910

Stackhouse Recording Company's first release is Keep It To Yourself: Arkansas Blues Vol. 1 -- Solo Performances, a collection of solo blues guitar, harmonica and piano performances recorded in Arkansas in 1976 featuring CeDell Davis, Willie Wright, W.C. Clay, Willie Moore, Trenton Cooper, Nelson Carson, Mack White, Reola Jackson, and Herbert Wilson.

The cover depicts a handpainted illustration of Sonny Boy Williamson from one of the old King Biscuit Flour/Sonny Boy Corn Meal trucks in Helena, Arkansas, that used to deliver to the grocery stores in the Delta; it appears on this CD cover in the correct color for the first time (the pink color on the original LP, Rooster Blues R7605, was a printer error).

The opening and closing tracks on the CD are versions of the King Biscuit Time radio show opening and closing themes performed by W.C. Clay, who was the guitarist on King Biscuit Time in the early 1950s. CeDell Davis has four tracks on the CD and will be featured on an upcoming solo CD of vintage recordings. Liner notes are by producer Louis Guida and Jim O'Neal.

This album was "Selected as an Outstanding Folk Recording" on a list released by the American Folklife Center at The Library of Congress.
