Originally released on the late, saxophonist Julius Hemphill's artist run Mbari label in 1971, the Collected poem for blind lemon Jefferson is K . Curtis Lyle's highly energetic, raw and avant primitive take on the blues mythos. Hemphill is in full form as he wiggles and buckles his horn around the extended, wild and fully unbridled narrative rap by the celebrated Watts writers workshop peot. this rare duet recording is a searing collection of St Louis Fire Music, not to be missed!
