[quote Have not heard the follow-up, but I just saw that the Mississippi label is releasing an entire album of unreleased Boyd Rivers recordings (his "Fire Shed In My Bones" gives the set its title). Anyone who has heard Boyd Rivers' excellent gospel recordings (with lowdown bluesy electric guitar) on the "Living Country Blues USA" collection should be excited about this. Alas, the Mississippi label is vinyl-only.

Haven't heard the disc yet, but have seen a scan of the sleeve notes. The title should be "Fire Shut In my Bones"; that's what Rivers is singing, regardless of what his pronunciation sounds like -- it comes from the expression used by Pentecostalists to describe the feeling of being possessed by the Holy Spirit, "like fire shut up in my bones". (River sings more like "shet up"). The notes also mention a book called "Woke up This Morning" by Alan Thompson that has a chapter on Rivers. You won't find it on Amazon -- it's "Woke Me Up This Morning" by Alan Young".

I believe these recordings were made by Axel Künster who along with Ziggy Christmann recorded the Living Country Blues USA series.

Best of all, they do not (to my knowledge) replicate the Boyd Rivers songs issued on the "Living Country Blues USA" series.

Chick Webb for jazz and now and again, dare I say it Jerry Lee Lewis!
