Back Home In Sulphur Springs
Norman & Nancy Blake

Norman and Nancy Blake’s Back Home in Sulphur Springs was named in reference both to Norman’s classic 1972 debut Home in Sulphur Springs, and to the Alabama town where Blake spent his childhood, learned guitar from his grandmother, and first heard hillbilly records on his neighbor's Victrola record player. Presented here are fourteen old-time country selections, mostly traditional, performed in the Blakes’ characteristically non-pretentious, authentic, and heartfelt style. Underscoring this, the tracks were recorded with minimal playback and are presented in the order of recording, giving the sense of a live performance.
