Buddy Moss Discography

HankChinaski:
Aside from a pieces where he acts as a sideman for various other artists, do the three Document CDs coupled with the Atlanta Blues Singer compilation consist of the entire released discography of Buddy Moss?  I am aware that a revival LP was cut, but never released.

Hi Hank,
I believe there is a newly released CD of Buddy from the '60s among the new releases of George Mitchell recordings on Fat Possum.  I've not heard it yet but I bet some other Weenies have, and I seem to remember from reviews that it is quite short, less than 30 minutes in running time.
All best,
Johnm

I don't think that got past the planning stage. Somewhere I have a cassette that Tony Martin of Revival sent me containing the handful of George Mitchell Moss recordings and other possibles to make up a compilation. Having typed this I've experienced deja vu so it's possible this topic has been raised before. Be that as it may, in the meantime why not marvel at Stefan Wirz's Moss discography. http://www.wirz.de/music/mossfrm.htm

There is indeed a Fat Possum CD of Buddy Moss.  Here's the description from Roots & Rhythm:

BUDDY MOSS     Fat Possum 1052     The George Mitchell Collection     ● CD $9.98
10 tracks, 22 mins, recommended
Buddy Moss was one of the giants of pre-war Piedmont blues. He was rediscovered in the early 60s but unlike many of his contemporaries was not particularly interested in performing or recording again and only recorded a couple of times. These recordings from 1963 (possibly a demo for Delmark) find him, rather incongruously, playing electric guitar. He was obviously out of practice but still sounds pretty good on a selections of remakes of some of his pre-war sides plus other traditional sounding material along with a version of Lowell Fulson's Blues Shadows Falling. (FS)

I haven't heard this CD yet.  Too many Document CDs on sale lately!

The lost recordings are now out.  Just when I thought I owned everything, they pull me back in!!!
