Exciting Folk from Joseph Childress

The music on Joseph Childress‘ upcoming release was actually recorded in 2005, but he’s been quietly polishing it up while working on his live performances.  Good news for all of us is that the work is finally finished, and it will see release from Empty Cellar Records on August 20th under the name The Rebirths.  The guitar picking first stuck out to me, but when Joseph’s voice rises to a slight strain, it all seems pretty special to me.  It’s a distinctive voice, but one that I think will interest many listeners: see for yourself.
