Used 1965 Arhoolie 1st Edition Mono Release of Composer/Guitarist/Country Blues Vocalist Mance Lipscomb Entitled Texas Songster in a Live Performance: Mance Lipscomb Volume 3, Album Originally Recorded by Chris Strachwitz at the Cabale in Berkeley, California, Legendary Songster Lipscomb Plays the Guitar and Sings in this Early Performance, All Compositions Written or Arranged by Mance Lipscomb - "Like Leadbelly and Mississippi John Hurt, the designation as strictly a blues singer dwarfs the musical breadth of Mance Lipscomb. Born on April 9, 1895 in Navasota, Texas, Lipscomb was a sharecropper/tenant farmer all his life who didn't record until 1960, "songster" fits what Lipscomb did best. A proud, yet unboastful man, Lipscomb would point out that he was an educated musician, his ability to play everything from classic blues, ballads, pop songs to spirituals in a multitude of styles and keys being his particular mark of originality. He appeared at numerous blues and folk festivals throughout the sixties, released several albums on Arhoolie and even one for a major label, Reprise, in 1970, Trouble in Mind. Four years later, Lipscomb retired from the festival circuit and passed away on January 30, 1976 in his hometown of Navasota, Texas. He was 81. With a wide-ranging repertoire of over 90 songs, Lipscomb may have gotten a belated start in recording, but left a remarkable legacy to be enjoyed." - Selections on Side 1 Are Mance Lipscomb's Take Me Back Home, the Traditional Shine on Harvest Moon Arranged by Lipscomb, the Mance Lipscomb Penned Rag in G, Traditional Songs Heel and Toe Polka, Big Boss Man Arranged by Lipscomb & Original Mance Lipscomb Compositions You Gonna Quit Me Baby, Blues in G - Tracks for Side 2 Are the Mance Lipscomb Penned Mama Don't Dog Me, Willie Poor Boy, the Traditional Polly Wolly Doodle All Day Arranged by Lipscomb, Original Mance Lipscomb Compositions Tell Me Where You Stay Last Night, Knocking Down Windows and Traditional Songs Nobody's Fault but Mine, Motherless Children Arranged by Lipscomb - Used Copy, Front Cover Has a Scuff, Back Cover Has a Signature in Blue Ink from Previous Owner, Record Has some Light Surface Wear & a Few Light Marks - Mono Recording, Product Code F 1026 - California Residents Add 9.75% Sales Tax - International S & H Extra -
