[Mr. Jelly Roll]

Dear Weenies and fellow nerds,
my Duo Black Patti has just released a new record (on CD/LP) called "Satan's Funeral" with 11 spirituals and a fantastic artwork drawn by Robert Crumb.

Check it out via bandcamp: https://blackpatti.bandcamp.com/album/satans-funeral

Enjoy and all the best to you all,
Ferdinand "Jelly Roll" Kraemer

Just had a listen and it sounds great, good work!
I'll be in touch about getting a vinyl copy when they're ready.

That would be much appreciated man.

All the best

Congratulations, great record.
Did you just ask Crumb to the artwork? I think he still lives in France.

[Mr. Jelly Roll]

Thank you so much! Yes, Crumb lives in France. He heard demo recordings of the record and was willing to draw an artwork, which is extremely generous and a big honor for us.

You're two white guys and you call your act "Black Patti"? Pretty bold, pal.

[Mr. Jelly Roll]

Exactly, but it is not an "act", it is a band.
The band name pays tribute to the short-lived record label that recorded black and white artists alike and everything in between. As far as Madame Sissirietta Jones is concerned, we're neither black nor female - that is true.
