Abner Jay – Folk Song Stylist

Out of stock

$20.00

Long awaited follow up to the “True Story of Abner Jay” LP. Abner Jay was a man who had a grand sweeping vision of what folk music was. In his lifetime his expression of what folk music could be encompassed some serious stylistic variations. Sometimes he was a one man band traveling troubadour playing an electric banjo, harmonica, & drums who tried to hoodwink audiences into believing that he was 150 years old & the standard bearer for authentic Americana. Sometimes he played in electric straight up R&B bands such as “Koko Joe & the Jobhunters”.

Culled from a mix of Abners’ 45’s & LPs spanning the period 1964 – 1973, including Abner’s first LP. We hope that this release will help to further the current wave of understanding that Abner Jay is an important artist who deserves a wider audience than he ever received during his lifetime.
