CD 465 MANCE LIPSCOMB - "Captain, Captain" Texas Songster Vol.3.

A) from our first meeting in the summer of 1960 in Navasota, Tx. - all previously unreleased, and B) from an April 1966 session in Berkeley - much of which was first issued on our LP 1033 but with several unissued selections added including a rather remarkable stories entitled "Segregation Done Past". Mance Lipscomb influenced many folk artists like Bob Dylan, Taj Mahal, etc. during the 1960's & 70's when he appeared with many of the stars at folk festivals. He called himself a "Songster" and mastered an extraordinarily large and varied repertoire reflecting the full range of rural Texas African-American culture as well as many pop songs and fiddle tunes.
