| “From 1967-1981 Detroit’s downriver neighbor Ecorse, MI had its very own Moe Asch. Compiled here are 24 of Felton Williams’ most fascinating recordings, covering gospel, group soul, garage-punk, doo-wop, northern, jazz, and funk. Also included is a DVD archive of the nearly 200 sound recordings pulled from Williams’ vaults, plus a 30-minute documentary on the making of Downriver Revival.” A couple of the ringers include early sessions that feature James “Blood” Ulmer and Sacred Steel guitarist Calvin Cooke, but by no means do they overshadow the more obscure locals heard here. Gatefold sleeve, extensive notes, beautiful photos...an all-around inspiring set! |
