Abner Jay- Folk Song Stylist (Mississippi Records, MR-068)

Mississippi Records' latest Abner Jay release- Folk Song Stylist- is indeed a sweet suprise. This collection of early tracks clearly predate his True Story/One Man Band era, and his repertoire appears to run the gamut of what is popular Americana. That is- a dynamic range of gospel & r&b are in full effect, but there's also a definite folk balladeer thing going on here at times strangely reminscent of, say, Marty Robbins. And I mean that in the best of ways. Folks, this guy has some serious pipes! After just one morning with this record, its already a household favorite.

"Depression"

    mediafire has deleted your upload, and i just heard his "shenandoah" and have to hear the rest of this record before i collapse!
    have you uploaded it to any other sites, or is a re-upload possible?

    if it is no to both of these, i guess i will have to search on...
    thanks in advance.

    Does "Lord Randal" remind anyone of a particular Bob Dylan Song?
