Our Luvva Cover was really interesting. The controversial music historian Alan Lomax made a huge number of recordings of various types of ethnic music to compile, in effect, a music museum. One of the albums containing these songs is made up of 'slave' working songs, sung unaccompanied by black prisoners at the Mississippi and Louisiana State Penitentaries and recorded live at Parchman Farm in 1947. Jan Mittendorp and Jesper Mortier (ElectroBluesSociety), two fantastic Dutch musicians who have made a lifetime study of the Blues, have taken one of these songs and given it a contemporary feel. We played some of the original recording and then the whole of this brand new reinterpretation of 'Rosie'. You must give it a listen!
Music that you just don't hear anywhere else!
