“Dock Boggs was a singer and banjo player who sounded as if his bones were coming through his skin every time he opened his mouth. In the mountains of eastern Kentucky/western Virginia in the 1920s he forged a highly personal music of such singular intensity it retains the power to shock seventy plus years after it was recorded.

Over 60 minutes of music, including Boggs's 12 original 1927 and 1929 released recordings, 5 never-before-issued 1929 outtakes, and 4 1920s cuts by Boggs's Kentucky compatriots Bill and Hayes Shepherd.”  Double LP set, clear vinyl, and an oversized 12-page booklet of notes and photos.  CD version currently unavailable.
