Last Ole Ministrel Man

Jay, Abner

Last Ole Ministrel Man

Mississippi

***ABNER JAY’s last recording session. Here we find him laying into five never before released compositions (...and one never released version of his popular tune "Cocaine') On these songs the usual one man band set up is put aside and replaced by a simple delicate acoustic guitar and harmonica accompaniment, with the exception of the rocking "My Middle Name Is The Blues," which has Abner’s classic sound in full force. The first track, "I Cried," is as sad as they come. The last track, "Too Poor To Live, Too Poor To Die," is almost too honest to bear. Beyond that is the strange blues number "Love Wheel.” Altogether this 10-inch stands as a fitting last testament by one of America’s most neglected musical geniuses. Tip-on old school cover. Each copy includes two commemorative photos of Abner and a 16-page booklet with extensive liner notes by JACK TEAGUE, who recorded this session and palled around with Abner in his final days.
