3 CD Box

In the 1950s and 60s, the blues was the dominant form of Black vernacular music throughout Texas andthe surrounding areas. In segregated neighborhoods, community members gathered in saloons,dancehalls, and each other's homes to hear their neighbors sing their stories of sorrow, heartbreak,jubilation, and triumph.

Robert "Mack" McCormick, an academically untrained but fanatical devotee of the blues, stepped into this world and became one of it's most devout advocates and documentarians.By photographing Black and Latino Texans and their neighborhoods, as well as recording and interviewing musicians-many of whom never stepped foot into a proper recording studio-McCormick endeared and eventually embedded himself into these communities.

By the time he died in 2015, McCormick had amassed a collection of 590 reels of sound recordings and 165 boxes of manuscripts,original interviews and research notes, thousands of photographs and negatives, playbills, and posters.

Because McCormick never published or released most of these materials, his collection became a thingof legend and intense speculation among scholars, blues aficionados, and musicians alike.

Playing for the Man at the Door: Field Recordings from the Collection of Mack McCormick, 1958-1971 is the first compilation of music drawn from this fabled collection, which indelibly documents a pivotal moment in African American history.

It features never-before-heard performances not only frommusicians who became icons in their own right-including Lightnin' Hopkins and Mance Lipscomb-butalso, crucially, performers whose names may be unfamiliar to even the most devoted blues fans andscholars.

Newly mastered recordings and accompanying photographs bring to life many of theseforgotten figures: offering insight into their lives and illuminating in new, enlightening ways their joysand anguish, deep social connections, distinctive voices, and cultural networks.

The collection spansgospels, ragtime, country blues dirges, the unclassifiable music of George "Bongo Joe" Coleman, andmore, showing that no community, no matter how tight knit, is monolithic.

Accompanying the music is a 128-page book, which contains breathtaking photographs by McCormickand his associates, as well as contextual essays by producers Jeff Place and John Troutman onMcCormick's life, and by musicians Mark Puryear and Dom Flemons on some of the marginalized communities throughout "Greater Texas" to which McCormick devoted his life's work.

This release is apartnership with the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.

I have a 1999 Toyota Sienna LE
The starter was an almost an exact fit. The only difference was the rubber cover for the ground screw. The original started has a slight different design. Easy fix was the remove the old one and replaced it on the new starter. The fit was perfect. Used youtube video on starter replacement for my Sienna which was clear and east to follow. Took 2 hours to replace the starter. Waited a few weeks to see ensure the starter was working before I posted a review. The starter sound strong as the engine kicks over. Looks to be working fine. The dealers would have wanted $600 to replace the started. Some online poster says these Amazon knockoff are cheap and won't work. It started and time will tell how long it last. Its a 25 year old car. If I get another year or two use out of it, I'm good.

Almost a perfect fit for 2002 Avalon
The only difference from the old starter to this one is the old hardware had notches for the electrical connection and the old starter had a longer terminal post so I couldn’t swap the hardware successfully. Instead of returning it because I don’t want to walk to work again I decided to grind a notch on the new starter. Lucky for me it worked and I don’t show up with my uniform sweaty in a retail job anymore
