Description
A VERY GOOD COPY OF THIS VERY RARE 1927 BLUES ORIGINAL
WASHINGTON PHILLIPSBorn in Texas in 1880, Phillips has recorded eighteen remarkable songs, some of which amount to highly specific and detailed gospel sermons. The songs, recorded between 1927 and 1929, feature Phillips' voice self-accompanied by an instrument that sounds like a fretless zither. This instrument, which has been variously identified as a Dolceola, a Celestophone, and a Phonoharp (and also is considered by some to be an instrument entirely home-made by Phillips) creates a unique sound on these recordings that makes them immediately recognizable.
Phillips died in 1954, at the age of 74.
