Original Five Blind Boys Of Mississippi - The Peacock,Vee Jay & Checker (Singles & Albums Collection 1956-62) Original Five Blind Boys Of Mississippi
Pickup currently unavailable at Dawson Street
The Original Five Blind Boys Of Mississippi were one of the premier gospel groups of what was a golden age for gospel in the immediate post-war decades, as the music developed its more commercial stylings and positioning from its traditional roots. Acrobat already has on catalogue a 2-CD set devoted to the group’s earlier career (“The Five Blind Boys Of Mississippi 1943-54” Acrobat ADDCD3003), and this collection picks up the story from that point with only a couple of titles duplicated on the two collections.
This 48-track 2-CD collection comprises just about all the A&B sides of their singles on the Peacock and Vee Jay labels from these years, plus the tracks from their Peacock album “Precious Memories”, not otherwise featured on singles, and their Checker album “I’ll Go”. It features performances in what was known as the “hard gospel” style of the day, with the line-up including renowned lead singer and songwriter Archie Brownlee, fellow songwriter Lloyd Woodard, and after Brownlee’s tragic death from pneumonia in 1960 at the age of 34, another distinctive lead voice of Roscoe Robinson.
They were a hugely popular and influential group, and this collection captures them at the height of their powers.
