Description
Before getting to the album, a little bit of biographical information on the man.
Born in Fitzgerald, Georgia Jay was a versatile musician playing a unique six stringed electrified banjo, along with guitar, harmonica, drums. Having mastered a gigantic repertoire of old time songs from his grandfather, in the early 1930s Jay became a member of The Silas Green Show which was a New Orleans-based circus/cabaret that toured the chitin' circuit from the 1930s through the 1950s. Jay's tenure with the group ended in the mid-1940s at which time he became a member of the Macon, Georgia-based WMAZ Minstrels. In the mid-1950s Jay began traveling and performing as a true one-man minstrel show performing a catalog that spanned everything from Americana to his own takes on politics and social events. Billing himself as the 'Last of the Minstrels' he worked out of his car, while finding time to record a series of now-highly sought after self-financed records.
First the usual warnings. This isn't rock, progressive, or psychedelic, rather a very strange mixture of blues, country, Gospel minstrel and freak-out.
A very rare record by a legendary musician. Abner Jay Sings and Plays Stephen Foster Favorites was put out by Plantation Records in the 1950's.
The cover is in excellent condition and the record is in very good condition.
A few minor scratches, plays very well!!!!!!
