Pink Anderson on new Smithsonian Folkways
« on: June 23, 2014, 08:16:32 AM »
There's a new Smithsonian Folkways release coming out called Classic African American Songsters and it features a Pink Anderson recording I hadn't heard before called Talking Blues.

https://soundcloud.com/smithsonian-folkways/talking-blues-performed-by-pink-anderson

Anyone know if this song has been released before? It's not on any of the Bluesville records and not in Stefan's discography. There are apparently 5 previously unreleased tracks on this CD but this one is not marked as one of those. Here's tracklist, including some Bill Williams tracks marked as previously unreleased.


**Previously Unreleased

1. Warner Williams with Jay Summerour ? ?Bring It On Down to My House?
2. Pink Anderson ? ?Talking Blues?
3. John Jackson ? ?Nobody?s Business (If I Do)?

5. Brownie McGhee ? ?Pallet on the Floor?

7. Lead Belly ? ?My Hula Love?
8. Reverend Gary Davis ? ?Candy Man?
9. John Cephas and Phil Wiggins ? ?Going Down the Road Feeling Bad?
10. Peg Leg Sam ? ?Froggy Went A-Courting?**

12. Pink Anderson ? ?The Boys of Your Uncle Sam?
13. Brownie McGhee ? ?Raise a Ruckus Tonight?

It is previously released, UB -- it's the track labeled "Greasy Greens" on the Folkways Pink Anderson album. Although it features grease it's clearly not his version of "Greasy Greens" so my guess is they took the opportunity to fix the original mistake.

I believe Bill Williams did "Chicken" as the opening number on his first Blue Goose album.  The take issued here must be a different performance.
All best,

Ah, thanks Chris. I have that record in mp3 format and didn't check the audio on every track. Haven't listened to it much, obviously!

Looks like a pretty interesting CD compilation.
