The result sounds like something out of Harry Smith’s now-legendary Anthology of American Folk Music-especially since Andy captured his 18 performances using a wire recorder made in 1938. Li’l Andy, The Complete Recordings of Hezekiah Procter (1925-1930). Well, here’s a novel idea-both figuratively and literally: Montreal-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist Li’l Andy penned a novel about an early-20 th-century folk, country, and jug band musician from North Carolina he called “Hezekiah Procter.” Andy also put himself in the shoes of that character to write and record an album of his imagined “complete recordings.” Accompanying the singer and guitarist on the record is a Canadian trio comprised of Sheesham Crow, Lotus Wight, and Son Sanderson, who specialize in reviving old-time music with the help of such instruments as banjo, fiddle, kazoo, and sousaphone.
