New York City 2/66

Big Joe Williams and Alan Lomax swap songs and accompany each other along with occasional vocal contributions from Mable Hillery at the apartment Lomax shared with John Henry Faulk at 670 West End Ave. It's not known if there was a purpose intended for the recording beyond documenting the casual event. Joan Halifax is credited as the recordist on the tape box.
