On May 3rd, 2019, Omnivore Recordings will release ‘The Blues Came Falling Down – Live 1973,’ an album of previously unheard performances by Shines recorded at Washington University’s Graham Chapel in St. Louis.

“Mule” stands out as consummate Townsend. Omnivore Recordings’ inclusion of the eight previously unissued tracks is a gift to the entire blues loving world.

“It was a classroom. You went there to learn. You could actually sit down and have a conversation with these performers.”

Beginning in January, Omnivore will roll out four various-artists volumes, collecting for the very first time anywhere the audio history of Ru-Jac Records.
