Darker Blues, T-Model back in stock & George Mitchell $25 Darker Blues Book w/ 2 CD Click here to order (Very few copies left) With only a few copies left, the Darker Blues book would make a great holiday gift for any music fan. Darker Blues is a 100+ page book of photographs of the musicians of Fat Possum Records. For more than a year now David Raccuglia has been travelling the country getting photos of everyone from R.L. Burnside, Kenny Brown, and the rest of the Mississippi guys to the west to get Bob Log III and Solomon Burke. Classic photos of the musicians also appear throughout the book. In addition to the photos, Joe Sacco's now-classic story, "The Rude Blues" is printed here, as a stand alone comic book. It's the first appearance of the story since it showed up in Details magazine several years ago. Barry Hannah and John Barry have both contributed essays to the book as well. A book about music that contains no music just seemed wrong, so we included two CDs packaged into the book as well. The 16 tracks on CD1 show what we're up to at the moment. The 7 tracks on CD2 are something special: Seven never before released tracks of R.L. Burnside music. Several are remixes, and two are from R.L.'s first ever recording, done by George Mitchell in 1968. Click here to order for $25 Click below to read an excerpt from Barry Hannah's essay Boogie Danger. Pee-Wee Get My Gun: Back In Stock Some call it T-Model's best album. You can call it yours once again. Click here to order for only $13 (excerpt from the liner notes by Matthew Johnson) Mississippi has got to be the worst place to live. Schools suck, infant mortality really sucks and Mississippians have called on the casinos to save us. However, being number fifty out of fifty is not completely without perks. Appearances aren't so important - the state allows its residents to store twenty-six worn-out tires per acre - no one could be faulted for giving up in such a broke-dick place. It's no secret that the worst places have always inspired the strangest and loudest howls, and T-Model Ford's savage moan is no exception. Listen to a few tracks from the album.
