True Story of Abner Jay

This archival release compiles the deeply eccentric, self-released recordings of the itinerant Georgian one-man band. Abner Jay famously performed his highly melancholic, darkly comedic blues from a custom-built mobile stage, accompanying his booming baritone with a six-string banjo and kick drum. The collection successfully revitalized modern interest in his idiosyncratic, outsider approach to American roots music.
