Bishop Perry Tillis
Too Close

Album US 2006 on Birdman Records label
R&B/Soul and Blues (Chicago Blues, Gospel, Delta Blues)

In 1972 Swedish music archivist Begnt Olsson tracked down Tillis at his church in Samson, Alabama, and recorded these tracks over three sessions. He was frail and old when Olsson found him, but he played the guitar, both electric and acoustic, with a mosquito-like fragility that is truly transcendent. Mixed in Nashville, TN. Mastered in Cotati, CA. Clear Jewel Case.
