Will Shade
Vol. 33 of the George Mitchell collection
Fat Possum
33 1/3 rpm 7" EP
$5 |
Ragged but right four-song EP from Will Shade, formerly of the Memphis Jug Band. Two of these tracks were also found on the Tennessee Legends compilation, but even owners of that record will want this 7” to get in on Shade’s hilariously foul-mouthed “Dirty Dozens”. On “Wine-Headed Man,” Shade delivers an excellent improvised number that pokes fun at the visiting white boys, a tradition that is often executed but seldom commercially released. Fahey: “He had the most infectious smile I have ever seen on anyone. He could have sold me the Brooklyn Bridge if he wanted to.”
