Apparently I never realized how broken the Stagolee Archives are. I fixed some of the files, but apparently I’ve lost all of my backups of Stagolee songs, so I’ll need some help fixing the links. I’ll post the ones I need later today or tomorrow.

This album is the Complete Recorded Works of Arizona Dranes 1926-1929, as released by Document Records. It is currently out of print and asks for silly prices on eBay/Amazon. Rare gospel singers aren’t only for the rich – so here are the first batch of songs off that record.

1. Arizona Dranes – In That Day

2. Arizona Dranes – It’s All Right Now

3. Arizona Dranes – John Said He Saw A Number

4. Arizona Dranes – My Soul Is A Witness For The Lord

5. Arizona Dranes – Crucifixion

6. Arizona Dranes – Sweet Heaven Is My Home

7. Arizona Dranes – Bye and Bye We’re Going To See The King

All Arizona Dranes are included on JSP’s budget box “Spreading the word” together with much other fascinating material in rather better sound then Document – incidentally this and the JSP set are available for download from emusic.

how much better is the sound quality? that box set cuts off a few songs so it’s not a full replacement for her complete works or the works for most of those other artists

I want you to know this is much, much appreciated. She’s a wonder. I first found out about her via the fine music blog “Locust Street”. I was thrilled to find more of her stuff. Can’t wait ’til you post the rest of her stuff!
