ANY IDEA WHEN THIS WAS RECORDED AND IF IT'S THE EARLIEST RECORDING? SHEET MUSIC GOES WAY WAY BACK, SO FINDING EARLIEST VERSION IS DIFFICULT. THANX FOR A TRULY INTERESTING RECORDING!
This guy is special. First heard on the Rounder 25th Ann. box set bonus disc. A wonderful anarchic version of "If I Could Only Hear My Mother Pray Again". Might make it my first upload if I can't find it here. New to this too much not waving drowning in digital heaven/hell (heavell). Never know may get to it before I go back on medication.
Joseph Spence was/is one of the most original and fascinating guitarists out there. I think he was a huge influence on another guitar master and original, Ry Cooder.

This is amazing! I have never heard a guitar played like this before. It almost sounds as if there are two people playing but it is just him!

Is there any live footage of him playing?

I bought this record in 72 and my love for it is still the same. Wildhorse821 and Margaret063 are absolutely RIGHT!
