I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore: 1927-1948 cover art

An incredibly eclectic, globe-spanning archival release from Mississippi Records, focusing on highly obscure acoustic shellac recordings from the early 20th century. By juxtaposing Greek Rembetika and Calypso against Appalachian folk and Hawaiian slide guitar, the compilation brilliantly highlights universal themes of human displacement and melancholic longing across disparate cultures. It is deeply treasured by esoteric roots-music collectors.
