Rare private press 1970 US LP White Light and related rare LP Velvet Sandpaper both licensed and reissued on one CD in Germany by Two Of Us # 001. Mix of sleazy junkie fuzz garage with electric piano moves, wasted vocals, dark atmosphere. «Velvet Sandpaper» from ex-White Light vocalist with unusual world-weary «older guys» sound and titles such as «Mistrust-Separation-Divorce». Hard to describe accurately, but traces of late-period Doors and Tim Buckley can be found on things like the excellent «Blue Love». Comparable to the experience of sharing a drink with a stranger down on their luck at a desolate nightclub, then seeing them actually get up on stage and sing a few songs about their misfortunes as the closing hour approaches. Also a harder fuzz edge with creeping menace on a couple of tracks such as the terrific «Light», and some hints of the baroque groove aspirations of White Light, but these are exceptions to the overall Scotch-laden introspection Mr Mississippi projects. Pro-sounding band and vocals that hit just the right spot. This strikes me as a lot better than the White Light LP, and it’s strange that it hasn’t become more well-known. Originally from New York, Gary «Mississippi» Abrams recorded this album in California in 1973 with two completely separate sets of musicians. In 1980, he released another LP titled «Breaking Out». He worked with the Perron Brothers (White Light) for several years under various band names.
