Rainy Day Blues

Top Left: Dynamic Bobby Bland’s, Here’s The Man!!!  Produced in 1962, this was the first Duke album issued in stereo format.  This is a 1988 repress.  Its not the prettiest, but it plays fine! This album is not available on cd and has not been repressed or released since 88.

Bottom Left:  An RCA Legendary Performer Collection, this is a great Woody Guthrie compilation, documenting his finest “Dust Bowl Ballads”. Released in 77, this issue is in great shape with slight discoloration on the cover, but still includes original booklet insert filled with great photos.

Top Right:  Arkansas Trap, one of George “Harmonica” Smith’s few solo releases, shows his strong admiration for the style of Little Walter. Known mostly for his collaborative work with many of the greats like Muddy Waters, his solo work is also a great, rare find. Released in 1971 on Dream (London Records), this is a promo copy in good condition.

Bottom Right:  Robert Johnson, King of the Delta Blues, was not recognized as such until this 1961 re release on Columbia, allowing his music (recorded in 1936-37) to reach a wider audience for the first time. Now recognized as a master of blues, Johnson died at 27 before his time. This copy in good condition, a must have for any serious blues collector.

This is an absolutely gorgeous saint statue from the 1900’s. She is quite tall at 28 inches and was probably used in a church or a sanitarium. She has serene glass eyes and is in wonderful condition. $275.

The Cooler

These particular coffins were used by Undertakers. When they thought someone had died, they’d put the body in the coffin and set it outside. The wicker would keep the flies and animals off the body and allow the air to circulate in case the person was not, in fact, dead. This particular Victorian wicker coffin is in wonderful condition and a great addition to any Postmortem collection.
