"Born in the Bahamas, Joseph Spence created an idiosyncratic and inimitable guitar style rife with percussive and improvisatory vamps around staid hymns and Caribbean folk standards. He was a guitarist's Thelonious Monk, his growling vocal counterpoint and surprising inventions are one of folk music's great delights. A major influence on Ry Cooder, Taj Mahal, David Lindley, and many more. Produced by Paul Rothchild (the Doors and Butterfield Blues Band) for Elektra that originally released this album in 1964. Original artwork. Contains liner notes. Remastered from the original master tapes."
