These recordings were made with Cello, Ltd.'s special two-microphone system. The quality of the sound on these cds are truly of a new level of realism. The sonic quality of sound bites is not indicative of these high-fidelity recording. In an effort to reduce your download time we sacrificed the quality of sound.

Metal Bottoms

Cootie related to me, "Me and Chilly Winds the washboard player had been up all night. Sun was coming up and we were walking down the street in the section of town called Metal Bottoms. That is where all the goings on were, and it could be a rough place. We started singing about it. It is a true song."
Cootie can be heard on Expressin' the Blues and his own album soon to be released: Cootie Stark, Sugar Man which Taj Mahal, Neal Pattman, Jimmy Rip and The Brothers in the Kitchen lend their musical support.

Peter Rumpkin

I was at a drink house in East Winston with Guitar Gabriel one day, when in walked this little old lady. She chimed in with some old risque songs, danced on a chair and worked the crowd with her sharp tongue. We became close friends and in 1994, Gabe, Willa and I performed together at Carnegie Hall. Her sassy songs can be heard on A Living Past and Expressin' the Blues.
