These field recordings by musicologist Sam Charters capture Spence in a relaxed, expansive mood—only one of the six selections in the set is under five minutes in length. Spence’s guitar style was due in part to the D tuning of his bass string, which produced a lower bass sound. Whereas many critics have called Spence’s vocal style unorthodox, they have found his guitar playing spontaneous and iconic. Some music critics have gone so far as to refer to him as the “Thelonious Monk of folk guitar.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe vinyl reissue of Music of the Bahamas, Volume 1 includes Sam Charters’ liner notes. This reissue is part of Folkways Records’ 70th anniversary celebration series, revisiting some of the most iconic and influential albums released on the record label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- SIDE 1 -\u003cbr\u003e1 Coming in on a Wing and a Prayer\u003cbr\u003e2 There Will Be a Happy Meeting in Glory\u003cbr\u003e3 Brownskin Gal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- SIDE 2 -\u003cbr\u003e1 I'm Going to Live That Life\u003cbr\u003e2 Face to Face That I Shall Know Him\u003cbr\u003e3 Jump in the Line\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SMITHSONIAN FOLKWAYS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43768231002362,"sku":"093070384415","price":28.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/FW03844.jpg?v=1699801341","url":"https:\/\/classicselectworld.com\/de-de\/products\/bahaman-folk-guitarspence-joseph","provider":"ClassicSelect World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
