The record was released last year but was recorded with equipment that was made before 1956. Using a single RCA ribbon microphone and an Ampex 601 open reel tape machine Mahern recorded in three historic locations: the First African Baptist Church in Savannah, Ga., a sanctuary for runaway slaves before emancipation; Sun Studios in Memphis, one of the birthplaces of rock 'n' roll; and the Gunter Hotel in San Antonio, where blues legend Robert Johnson recorded.
