GEORGE'S SPIRIT
Gary Atkinson and Bob Brozman
This rare recording was made at a studio in London in 1999. The instrumental, written by Gary was always played as a duet with Bob during Bob’s U.K. concerts during the 1990s. Although it became a great favourite with audiences it was never made available on CD, or vinyl for that matter. Now, it is available, in it’s entirety, for the first time, as a download from the Document Records web site.

Mississippi Blues Volume 4
DOCD-5682
This album was originally released in 1987 as vinyl LP DLP 519.
The opportunity to release this album has allowed us to include take 1 of Robert Johnson’s “Traveling Riverside Blues”. This track having not been released as part of Johnson’s original output was issued for
the first time on Document’s “Too Late, Too Late” Volume 11 DOCD-5625.
Tracks 7 and 10 by
Robert Johnson have been brought together with this compilation from elsewhere in the
Document Catalogue.
Tracks 22 and 23 by Robert Lockwood Jr. are new editions to the Catalogue.
The album presents a fine demonstration of how the raw country blues of the deep south was swept
along by the great migration north where it metamorphed into the powerful electric blues of Chicago
which then went on to effect the music of generations around the world.
All new material has been
digitally remastered in 2007.
