The True Story of Abnery Jay - Abner Jay
Get ready to drop the needle on some seriously raw stuff: Abner Jay's must-hear compilation, The True Story of Abner Jay. Jay was a true original—a genuine one-man band who called himself "the last working Southern black minstrel." You'll hear him doing it all at once, picking his electric banjo or guitar, blowing the harmonica, and even kicking the drums with his feet. 🥁 Pulled from his own rare, self-released records of the '60s and '70s, this collection is a wild mix of folk, country-blues, and pure outsider soul. Abner doesn't pull any punches, spinning honest, deep-fried tales about life, hard times, and heavy topics. Expect tracks like the gut-wrenching "I'm So Depressed," the blunt "Cocaine," and his protest tune, "Vietnam." This isn't just music; it's a completely unique window into a nearly forgotten American troubadour. Settle in, turn it up, and let the inimitable voice of Abner Jay take you on a trip.
