Voices of Mississippi is a typically beautiful D-t-D object. It comprises one hardcover book, 3 CDs of blues and gospel music and stories collected by folklorist William Ferris and a DVD of films Ferris made between 1972 and 80, all packaged in a cloth-bound box with an unforgettable image of folk artist and blues musician James “Son Ford” Thomas on the cover. If you are a vinyl hound, you can purchase a single LP of tunes cherry-picked from the blues and gospel discs, and if you are a documentary film buff the DVD separately, but to get the full immersive effect you need to spring for the box. This is a document of a life devoted to celebrating lives and uplifting the best of a culture that’s too easy to be known only through its most odious and self-hating manifestations.
