Blue Goose 💫

 

After having began rebuilding my Studietto, I’m exploring the dozens Ikea bins stacked of records… it’s a sort-of time traveling as I experience alternate mixed feelings: who bought this record(s) or wow! I forgot I had this…

I’m right now enjoying a Blue Goose blues record I completely forgot I had …

This makes me reminding how much I loved searching and collecting these great discs… almost handmade in very limited quantities by Nick Perls, owner, engineer, R&D…

 I accumulated the whole label catalog over the decades, in pre-GEMM/Discogs era: Alan Seidler, Woody Mann w. Jo-Ann Kelly and John Fahey, John Miller, Rory Block, Sam Chatmon, Robert Crumb & His Cheap Suits Serenaders, Son House, Roger Hubbard, Roy Bookbinder and many more obscure others.

I spent maybe 10 years in sourcing them all and they represent a moment in my musical life when I loved unpolished, raw, wild music… roots music, purest Americana, real musicians living the Blues.

This Larry Johnson’s makes no exception: it’s amazing in its immediacy 💫 and you (me) realize you didn’t simply “bought some records” for sixty-some years, now BUT you (me) created an imaginary museum of beauty, so breathtakingly multi-faceted to sometimes leave you (me) speechless in awe 😏
