Phil Alvin - Un 'sung Stories'

Un Sung Stories, is a collection of old blues, jazz, country, and pop songs originally written and recorded between 1925-1953. What makes Un Sung Stories a unique, thoroughly engaging document of old school americana isn't simply Phil's inherent soulfulness. He was also smart/lucky enough to employ two different backing bands, both of whom instilled swing and funk to the utilizing the talents of Sun Ra and the Arkestra and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. The tracks feature the Sun Ra Arkestra are notable for being the very last recordings the Arkestra made while it's founder and leader was alive.
