Abner Jay- Last Ole Minstrel Man (Mississippi, 2011)
A short 10" EP of the late, great Abner Jay's very last studio sessions from Atlanta, 1994. Raw. Can't help but wonder if this will be the last release in Mississippi Records' sustained effort to canonize Mr. Jay as a lost hero of American folk. This one comes lovingly packaged with lots of great photos, inserts & copious liner notes from Jack Teague about his time getting to know Jay in Georgia, and how this recording came to happen. Makes for an illuminating read, I think, but... If you really want all that, I guess you should stop mooching here and go buy the record, no?
