VA - Too Late, Too Late Blues Vol. 01 - Vol. 13 (1926-1944) [1993] (13 X CD's)




HISTORICAL BLUES NEWLY DISCOVERED TITLES & ALTERNATE TAKES

VA - Too Late, Too Late Blues Vol. 01 - Vol. 13 (1926-1944) [1993] (13 X CD's)

This CD initiated a logical series for the Document label. The company's goal of reissuing every single prewar recording has resulted in hundreds of valuable CDs being reissued. Inevitably, there were new discoveries of music after the fact, so this series consists of previously unreleased titles, alternate takes, and discoveries. Vol. 1 has selections from Blind Blake ("Early Morning Blues"), Blind Lemon Jefferson ("Lock Step Blues" and "Hangman's Blues"), George "Bullet" Williams, Bessie Tucker, the Memphis Jug Band, Willie Baker, Rev. D.C. Rice, Charlie Spand, Robert Peeples, Charley Patton (an alternate of "I Shall Not Be Moved"), Big Bill Broonzy, Frank Brasswell, Memphis Minnie, the team of Kansas City Kitty & Georgia Tom Dorsey, Bo Carter, Joe McCoy, Kokomo Arnold (a test pressing of his famous "Milk Cow Blues"), Little Buddy Doyle, and Lonnie Johnson. More general blues collectors should explore the more obvious releases first, but specialists will find these 26 performances (and those in later CDs included in this series) to be quite fascinating. ( AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow)

Back in the 1990s, the Document reissue label assembled a series of more than a dozen compilations containing extra material by artists already featured in the catalog and numerous instances of material so rare as to exist within their own category. Each volume in the series carried the title "Too Late, Too Late," and each installment is ideally suited for the kind of listener who fits the profile of the audio-archaeologist; and for whom no record is too scratchy and any performance is worth hearing and appreciating. The historic breadth of these anthologies can be dizzying, and Vol. 4 in the series reaches back to the year 1892. Vol. 10 covers the years 1926-1951, which is a longer-than-average stretch for most blues-oriented retrospectives. Document specializes in the unearthing of music that often seems to be entirely unavailable anywhere else. In addition to ensembles with colorful names like the Three Bad Habits, the Jacksonville Harmony Trio, the Nashville Washboard Band, and the Camp Action Jive Cats, there are precious moments with guitarist Blind Blake (who contributes an alternate version of his magnum opus "Diddie Wa Diddie"); pianist Charlie Spand, and vocalist Hattie Burleson, who is backed by the Texas-based H. Hudson Orchestra, a little-known organization that employed trumpeter and future bandleader Don Albert. This is an unissued test pressing of Burleson's "Jim Nappy," a title that is already plenty rare as a master take. There are famous and relatively well-known names like Big Joe Williams, Ivory Joe Hunter, Sonny Terry, and Ralph Willis, as well as artists deserving better recognition like Stanford Mosby, Bill Williams, and Ramblin' Thomas. Probably the most intriguing hard-to-come-by material consists of documentary recordings of the Library of Congress or Folkways variety, wherein members of the Nashville Washboard Band demonstrate their artistry in front of the microphone. Theopolis Stokes explains his washboard technique, Thomas James Carroll expounds on the "Bullfiddle" and "Cord-Can-One-String Tuning," and James Kelly summons his mandolin for a brief but stirring duet with Carroll on "The Bye Bye Blues." Amazing stuff, and where else on earth are you going to find it? (AllMusic)

  2. Just in case I don't have some of these, thank you for this key collection from Document - and for your generosity with your wide-ranging collection and interests!

    1. Hi Aging Child,
      I thought you may have taken these previously at TZ. If not enjoy them.

      PS Have you been OK lately, not seen you around for a bit. Hope all is well.
      Peace.
      Cheers

  3. I think I did pick up some of these Document disks at TZ - but I suspect I've got some weaker bitrates in my vault (or missing artwork), and this is the opportunity to fill those gaps. The historical value of these recordings is worth the effort both to dig into them, and to share them... as you've done most kindly.

    And thank you for your warm personal thought! I've simply been busy at work, at studies, and helping my mother in her continued amazing recovery. Much of what's shared on TZ lately hasn't dovetailed greatly with my own interests... which simply means I'm undereducated. I'd love to dig into some of those other genres, yet haven't the forty-hour days that would make it possible. So for now I'm content with immersing in a few choice selections from their big shares (and yours). And there are half a dozen compilations I'd like to pull together, myself, and share, and I've made teeny beginnings on them... and these are still twenty-four hour days; sigh.

    1. Glad your OK.
      Just remember the old adage "All work and no play...."
      I was once told by a mentor that there is always enough time in a day and that we need to prioritize our time to cover all our desires. Its just about choices most of the time... Stay happy is the most important.
      Cheers

  4. As always, sir Butter, you're right. A few years ago, I attended a one-day seminar on time-management - and do you know, I was late getting back from every break! 8-P

    Enjoy the weekend!

  6. Hi BB Seems I'm a little late in coming on board. Any possibility of re-booting 'Too Late, Too Late Blues' and 'Roots of Rock N' Roll', please? Also: 'Times Ain't Like They Used To Be' is a partial download. If possible, thanks in advance.
