Born on April 9, 1895 in Navasota, TX, Lipscomb was a sharecropper/tenant farmer all his life who didn't record until 1960, "songster" fits what Lipscomb did best. A proud, yet unboastful man, Lipscomb would point out that he was an educated musician, his ability to play everything from classic blues, ballads, pop songs to spirituals in a multitude of styles and keys being his particular mark of originality. He appeared at numerous blues and folk festivals throughout the '60s, released several albums on Arhoolie and even one for a major label, Reprise, in 1970, Trouble in Mind. Four years later, Lipscomb retired from the festival circuit and passed away on January 30, 1976 in his hometown of Navasota, TX. He was 81. With a wide-ranging repertoire of over 90 songs, Lipscomb may have gotten a belated start in recording, but left a remarkable legacy to be enjoyed." - Selections on Side One Are Captain Captain, A'int You Sorry, Night Time Is the Right Time, Mr. Tom(Guitar Solo), I Want to Do Something for You, So Different Blues and A Rag(Guitar Solo) - Tracks for Side Two Consist of Long Tall Girl Got Stuck on Me, Keep on Trucking, Run Sinner Run, Reminiscences at UCSB & Farewell - Used Copy, Cover Has Seam Split At Top with Fraying at Bottom, Record Has some Light Surface Wear - Mono Recording, Product Code F-1033 - California Residents Add 9.75% Sales Tax - International S & H Extra -
