You Got to Reap What You Sow

African American songster Mance Lipscomb was the first musician recorded by Arhoolie Records founder Chris Strachwitz in 1960 (Texas Songster ARH00306). In 1964, Lipscomb recorded his second album in Strachwitz’s living room in Berkeley, CA, during a single session. The songs range from blues to spirituals and ballads to popular songs. Included in this collection is Lipscomb’s powerful “Tom Moore Blues,” a song about living the life of a sharecropper.
