Between 1967 and 1981 Detroit’s downriver neighbor Ecorse, Michigan had its very own Moe Asch. Set up in a basement on 18th Avenue, FELTON WILLIAMS chronicled the musical lives of Ecorse’s citizens and issued them on the Solid Rock, Compose, and Revival labels. Compiled here are twenty-four of Williams’ most fascinating recordings, covering gospel, group soul, garage-punk, northern, jazz, and funk. Also included is a DVD of the over 200 sound recordings pulled from his archives and a 30-minute featurette on the making of Downriver Revival.
