This volume of Morton's 1938 recordings and interviews with Alan Lomax includes the lurid 'Murder Ballad,' released for the first time in its entirety, totaling over a half hour in length. Most of the remainder of the volume is devoted to piano instrumentals, all but one of them Morton originals, including a two-part extended version of 'The Pearls,' one of his masterpieces.
