Altered Zones

Unreleased Alan Lomax blues and gospel recordings will be released next week for compilation called I'm Gonna Live Anyhow Until I Die. Straight from the Alan Lomax Archives, a repository of literally thousands of hours of field recordings, these particular captured sounds were recorded from 1959-1960 on a trip dubbed "Southern Journey", which led Lomax through Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, and North Carolina during the height of the folk revival.
