The remarkable
Country Negro Jam Session
assembles home recordings of southwest Lousiana-based blues singers collected during the late 1950s and 1960s by musicologist
Dr. Harry Oster
. Fourteen cuts by country fiddler
Butch Cage
make up the guts of the album, but the real highlights are the grim performances by
Robert Pete Williams
, who was serving a murder sentence at the notorious Angola State Prison at the time his tracks were recorded; equally powerful is a rendition of
"Foxhunt"
performed by a group of therapy patients. Despite its somewhat misleading title, a truly landmark recording. ~ Jason Ankeny
