Eli Green Brooks Run Into The Ocean

recorded by Chris Strachwitz With the help of Fred McDowell, they located Eli Green (who was thought maybe to be dead at the time) near Holly Springs, MS in 1965. Green recorded only two songs. All that remains for posterity of the remarkable artistry of Eli Green who in turn apparently learned a good deal from Charlie Strachwitz info from: Goin Back to Sweet Memphis by Frederick J. Hay (2001) Green was a mentor both to McDowell and Junior Kimbrough photos: Walker Evans, Marion Post Wolcott
