Guitarist and singer Kansas Joe McCoy had a long and varied musical career, playing blues in duos with his then-wife Memphis Minnie and his brother Charlie McCoy, performing jazzier material with the Harlem Hamfats, and cutting records under a bunch of pseudonyms (religious material as “Hallelujah Joe”, etc.).  This collection gives a hint of the scope of his work, with gently rolling pieces like “You Know You Done Me Wrong”, the potent slide guitar on “My Wash Woman’s Gone”, his take on Skip James’ “Devil Got My Woman” (“Evil Devil Woman Blues”), bookending sermons with upbeat gospel, and so forth.  Limited stock.

Perhaps best known for their killer version of “Two White Horses in a Line”, Two Poor Boys (Joe Evans and Arthur McClain) straddled the songster/old-time/blues fence, with the occasional nod to the pop music of their era, delivered with an agreeably laid-back vocal style.  You may recognize a few of these songs from Revenant’s American Primitive Volume 2 set.  Limited supply, just a few on hand.
