And, to make things a tad more difficult, there are 2 different versions
of "Mississippi mud" released on the "Black Blood" label.
The producer and label boss, Valerian Smith. was a Southern University band
professor, and owned an independent production company here
in Baton Rouge. "Mississippi mud" was apparently the title track to
a self-penned play about racisim.
The first issue is almost acapella, with minimal hand drum and piano backing,
while the second issue has a full-fledged band backing.
Don't know how the "smithsonian" deal came about....
wow. thanks. dante too.
anyone have soundfiles they can post of either of the blackbloods? i guess id probably like to hear the 2nd issue, but id love to check the accapella too
again, thanks
Out of town at work right now, but when I get home this wknd, i'll
post up the release #'s so you can hunt down the 2nd issue.
I used to see these on the bay pretty often, always under a bill.
thanks man
