We are thrilled to announce a new release in collaboration with David Evans, marking the latest chapter in our long-standing partnership. Our work together began 22 years ago when David wrote the liner notes for disc six of our inaugural production, Goodbye, Babylon. Since then, David has been an invaluable contributor to numerous projects, including the release of two albums featuring his field recordings: Sorrow Come Pass Me Around: A Survey of Rural Black Religious Music and From the Lion Mountain: Traditional Music of Yeha, Ethiopia.

This is the first in a series of never-before-heard musical releases from David’s personal archive. This collection focuses on the life and music of the remarkable Babe Stovall. Accompanying the digital album is a detailed 40-page PDF, which includes insightful writing by Marc Ryan, Stovall's musical collaborator and the project’s co-producer.

We invite you to explore this musical journey, as David Evans offers a personal reflection on Stovall's life and legacy, bringing new light to a hidden gem of American music.
