Shirley Jacobs "Bush Girl" LP 1969

 

Yes. I am still here - just not very active.

I stumbled over this one a few months ago and checked it out a couple of days ago. It plays just like you would expect of a much loved LP issued over 50 years ago but it has cleaned up reasonably well. It is a true stereo album with a strong emphasis on the vocals. It works well.

Jacobs accompanied herself on 12 and 6 string guitars assisted by Ade Monsborough, recorders, melodica; Mike Hayes of 12 and 6 string guitars snd Mandolins; Peter Hayes on 5 string banjo; and Alan Pope on string bass.
