The New Folk Sound Of Terry Callier released in 1968 on Prestige is exactly what its title suggests a fresh take on American folk from the then-newcomer Callier. Drawing inspiration from jazz, blues, and soul, Callier re-interprets traditional folk standards bringing a uniquely African American perspective to classics like Cotton Eyed Joe and 900 Miles. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl at QRP and newly (AAA) remastered from the original tapes, while a replica tip-on jacket completes the package.
The music is hauntingly beautiful, with Calliers warm crooning supported sparsely with bass from Attenborough and Tweedle. The original 1968 release is a mono record collector holy grail, but for everyone else, we recommend this new Bluesville Records reissue that sounds terrific! AllMusic calls it Calliers most timeless and inviting release.
