A forgotten classic that "offended" the blues purists, 

but everything offended the blues purists

even Hendrix.

Along with Electric Mud and The Howlin' Wolf album

these LP's introduced Pete Cosey's psychedelic

guitar playing prior to his gig with Miles Davis

during the Love Him Madly era

(Pangea, Agartha, etc).

Along with Eddie Hazel Cosey was responsible

for some of the far-out-ist guitar playing of the late 60's and early to mid seventies.

What does this ad tell us about the conception
the record companies had about the blues in the pre-war period
or blue singers in the dominant "white" culture?
But what really is this culture?
A culture of corporate monopoly capitalism
with an un-"free" market economy and a
representative democracy
that is rigged in favor of the richer and more powerful?
Race and poverty are mere instruments to maintain
a certain hierarchy of power and control.
