Silver Studio Sessions By Ben Harrison
We’re fortunate that guitarist and composer, Marc Ribot, took some time to record two instrumental songs that demonstrate his genre-crossing sensibility: Winin’ Boy Blues by Jelly Roll Morton and Congo by Frantz Casseus. The latter is featured on a recent expanded reissue of Ribot’s out-of-print 1993 album of songs by Casseus, an early teacher and mentor. Since the late 1970s, Ribot has collaborated with a wide array of musicians including Tom Waits, Alison Krauss, and Elvis Costello.
