                  Reviews:

                  “An acoustic guitar and a lone voice recorded at a Chicago folk club in 1967, lost for decades and only now seeing release — thanks to “Jazz Detective” Zev Feldman. The recording was made by Joe Segal, founder of Chicago’s Jazz Showcase. “Terry Callier At The Earl Of Old Town” drops you into a young artist on the verge — his debut album still months from release. Callier’s strumming is percussive enough to anchor the rhythm on its own, and his singing shifts between intimate storytelling and something rawer, more urgent, when the song demands it.

                  The repertoire draws from folk, blues and the jazz phrasing that Joe Segal would later call “folk jazz.” “Work Song,” Nat Adderley’s melody with lyrics by Oscar Brown Jr., opens the set with grit and purpose. “Willie Jean” finds him pulling at the beat, stretching words until they ache — his phrasing at moments recalling Gil Scott-Heron, though Callier’s folk roots keep him grounded somewhere else entirely. Even “My Girl Sloopy” gets the treatment — slurred, bluesy, deeply felt, a world away from the McCoys’ hit that was all over the radio at the time.

                  “Deep Elem Blues” and “The Seventh Son” — Doc Watson and Mose Allison territory respectively — find Callier driving both harder and happier than you might expect, without losing the blues underneath. “St. Mark’s Blues” pushes that further, Callier proclaiming his own freedom like he’s talking to himself — or maybe to someone who’s no longer listening. The quieter moments, “Birdses” and “Last Thing On My Mind” — a song many singers have tried to make their own — show another side of Callier entirely, though the background chatter is a distraction on both.

                  Sunny Callier, Terry’s daughter, serves as executive producer. Joe Segal called what Callier was doing “folk jazz,” and that description turned out to be more far-reaching than anyone in that Chicago club could have known. His music — largely overlooked in the U.S. during his lifetime — became a quiet touchstone for a generation of British artists, from Massive Attack to Paul Weller to Michael Kiwanuka. This recording doesn’t explain that influence so much as let you hear where it started.” JazzView Review by Tim Larsen
