Song Keepers: A Music Maker Foundation Anthology
NO DEPRESSION/MMF. CD/DL
Celebrating 30 years of the Music Maker Foundation.
For the last three decades the MMF have been quietly documenting the incredible wealth of underground blues, gospel and folk singers and players coming out of the American South, capturing these should-be-superstars living in poverty, playing live in their sitting rooms, churches and back yards. This 4-CD set is a mere snapshot of their work but it’s a vivid one and includes thrilling performances from, among others, Beverly ’Guitar’ Watkins, who once performed with Piano Red and played guitar behind her back.
