Ry Cooder on Big Joe Williams

The congratulations to Chris at the beginning was for Chris A . Strachwitz, founder of Arhoolie records. This record was Arhoolie's second release in 1960.





Anyone know about these nine string guitars? Looks like the bottom three strings are paired while the top three are single.
