The Complete Recordings Of Hezekiah Procter

"The Complete Recordings of Hezekiah Procter (1925 - 1930)" is an experimental recording project and novel by acclaimed Montreal songwriter Li'l Andy. Each song was recorded simultaneously by two separate recording machines: a Webster-Chicago wire recorder, made in 1937, and a Tascam 38 half-inch tape machine. The wire recorder renders the performances in the same fidelity that you might find on 78rpm records from the 1920s and 30s--the sound associated with early jazz, old-time, blues and country recordings. The analog tape machine renders the performances with the greater clarity associated with modern studio production. The album is a compilation box-set of the complete recordings of an entirely fictional singer from the 1920s: Hezekiah Procter — the kind of untrained, hell-raising and tempestuous personality that enlivened country music in its early days, like Jimmie Rodgers, Charlie Poole or Clayton McMichen.
