Another fantastic compilation from aQ faves Mississippi Records that went out of print way too fast, gets repressed and is available again for a limited time!
We’re pretty smitten with Mississippi Records. Not only are they a cool little record store in Portland Oregon, like AQ and OM and a handful of others, helping the neighborhood record store stay alive, they are also an amazing label, releasing remarkable vinyl only compilations, as well as a handful of limited releases from underground musicians. Elsewhere on this week’s list we relist the re-pressed I Don’t Feel At Home In This World Anymore 1927-1948 comp. Packed with lost old time blues (now sadly out of print), and soon we’ll have the equally amazing Lipa Kodi Ya City Council collection re-pressed and back in stock, which featured tons of rare African music, from high life to ju ju to pop to choral music…
This is another classic Mississippi release available again, Life Is A Problem, which collects some totally mindblowing gospel rarities. A few we had heard of, like Utah Smith and Bishop Perry Tillis, but so many we had never heard or heard of before, and it’s all fantastic. And so varied. Some tracks are classic gospel, all voices and handclaps, others are wild psychedelic freakouts, with slippery slide guitars and rambunctious percussion, still others are super soulful, some are sermons set to music, testifying over groovy guitars and warbly organs. The sound quality varies wildly too, from the crackly hiss of old 78s, the fiery and furious sound of blown out analog tapes, some are washed out and ethereal, others immediate and intense. But again, they’re all fantastic, and wild and varied enough that even folks who aren’t always into gospel, might dig this stuff for what it is, super creative, original, out there, personal and super inspired music, that transcends genre for sure.
Like all Mississippi releases, super nice handmade packaging. This one includes a printed insert featuring liner notes on each of the performers on the comp from Yeti Magazine’s Mike McGonigal (the first pressing had a bonus 7", but this one is just the lp proper, but that’s more than enough!).
Obviously VERY recommended.Track Listing
