Everyday Seem Like Murder Here uncovers a lost chapter in the history of Mississippi Delta blues, bringing Hayes McMullan’s raw and heartfelt sound to light decades after its original creation. Long overlooked despite having lived through the era of Charley Patton and Blind Lemon Jefferson, McMullan’s powerful voice and honest storytelling transport listeners to the juke joints and dancehalls of 1920s Mississippi.
This remarkable release features all previously unreleased tracks (except for one) that have been remastered from the original tapes, preserving the immediacy and soul of McMullan’s performance. Beautifully presented with unseen photos and insightful liner notes, Everyday Seem Like Murder Here is an essential listen for blues enthusiasts seeking an authentic and resonant journey into the roots of American music.
