Sam Charters first recorded Bahamian guitarist Joseph Spence on Andros Island in July 1958. Spence, long out of work as a stonemason, had used his time to perfect a unique style of playing. Charters took Spence as a model for what he wanted to hear in other Bahamian guitarists. Originally issued in 1959.

I consider a great privilege that I knew this great man. My father used to have him over to our house when I was a youngster. They were both from Andros. RIP

I met Spence at a wake in 1965. Great music.

Nice comments here about the great Joseph Spence; well-deserved for his immortal talent & joy, a blessing to all of us, today, especially. Was thinking: 1 wonderful thing is how direct the joy & energy, nothing self-conscious or show-off in Joseph about his mind-bending technique - his love in the music just flows, so amazing. Thanks!

Wild creative syncopated guitar, mumbled incantations, who could ask for more? Spence was the best I wonder if he ever recorded "Danny Boy" that woud be something. ;)
