about

Death Is Not The End return for 2015 after releasing two cassette reissues of penitentiary field recordings and a collection of late 1940s/early 1950s gospel by Sister O. M. Terrell in 2014.

I Have a Home in the Sky compiles 12 sides from the 40 that Rev. Edward W. Clayborn recorded for Vocalion in the mid to late 1920s. Very little is known about Clayborn, besides that he is likely to have hailed from the Alabama area. Playing an open tuned guitar with a simple alternating bass line, Clayborn's music has been referred to by some as overtly basic, however amidst the simple beauty lies a depth of passion and conviction. Issued on a lovingly designed cassette, and limited to 100 copies.

I have loved the dixie Humming birds since the 1960s, but have never heard their early work--amazing. Listening to all this wonderous harmony and spirit comes close to restoring my lost faith in Christianity. ronspin

I love this series because it is so interesting and the first 3 stages are nice to listen to for studying. The music is sad and happy, distorted in parts but real throughout. keenan_bruce

Canned Heat's 'Going up the country' was based on Henry Thomas 1927 Bull Doze Blues, up to the quite magical cane flute you hear on Henry's great sounding Vocalion recording. It's name your price. Everybody should hear Henry Thomas. Robert Bloemkolk
