Local Customs: Downriver Revival / Various Local Customs: Downriver Revival / Various CD

Between 1967 and 1981 Detroit's downriver neighbor Ecorse, Michigan had it's very own Harry Smith. Set up in a basement on 18th Avenue, Felton Williams chronicled the musical lives of Ecorse's citizens and issued them on the Solid Rock, Compose, and Revival labels. Compiled here are 24 of Williams' most fascinating recordings, covering gospel, group soul, garage-punk, northern, jazz, and funk. Also included is a DVD of the over 200 sound recordings pulled from his archives and a 30 minute featurette on the making of Downriver Revival.
