Happy All the Time
Originally released by Elektra in 1964, and now available on CD for the first time! Born in the Bahamas, Spence created an idiosyncratic (and inimitable) guitar style rife with percussive and improvisatory vamps around staid hymns and Caribbean folk standards. He was a folk guitarist's Thelonious Monk, and his growling vocal counterpoint and surprising inventions are one of folk music's great delights. Digitally remastered from the original master tapes.
