I’ve been waiting years for this recording to released on CD. Originally recorded by Ewing Nunn and released on his Audiophile label, this is a great record! There's something about Spirituals music that lends itself so well to Dixieland. Drummer Red Maddock has the vocals and does an outstanding job. The new liner notes were written by Allan Evans, Doc’s own son.
