Young Brothers Tennessee Band / Columbia 15219-D
Bill Bailey Won`t You Please Come Home / Are You From Dixie?
recorded November 8, 1927 in Atlanta, Georgia
Here we have a good old-time string band record of two greatly popular old pop tunes.
Jess Young`s Tennessee Band / Columbia 15338-D
Fiddle Up / Oh! My Lawd
recorded October 25, 1928 in Atlanta, Georgia
Here we have the addition of a Columbia employee, Dan Hornsby, doing the vocals on this this session. Fiddle Up sound like a pop tune to me, Oh! My Lawd sounds like sort of a re-working of some traditional old-time verses (for example lyrics from All Night Long and an instrumental break from sort of a modified version of Going Down The Road Feeling Bad) into sort of an older pop style tune.
Jess Young`s Tennessee Band / Columbia 15400-D
Sweet Bunch Of Daisies / Silver Bell
recorded April 19, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia
Sweet Bunch Of Daisies was a hugely popular tune in the old-time record catalogs. Silver Bell had been a popular tune about an Indian maiden in the early 1900`s.
Jess Young`s Tennessee Band / Columbia 15431-D
The Old K-C / Lovin` Henry
recorded April 19, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia
The Old K-C was a pretty popular fiddle tune with sort of a bluesy sound to it. I think Lovin` Henry was likely an old pop tune, not the same song as Loving Henry Lee as I thought it likely was before I listened to the record.
Jess Young`s Tennessee Band / Columbia 15493-D
Take A Look At That Baby / Old Weary Blues
recorded November 4, 1929 in Atlanta Georgia
Take A Look At That Baby is would have been a current pop/jazz tune at the time. Old Weary Blues has the classic string band blues tune sound.

Deletepretty nice blog, following :)
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteI haven't always been a fan of country, but lately I've been starting to like it. All the new pop songs are all starting to sound the same. I really just need some good quality music, and I'm hoping to find it in country music. Thanks for posting! http://mustang877.com
ReplyDeleteI love the old-time croon of Jess Young's voice. There's another track I recall, unsure of the label, but it was entitled "Jess and Duke's Salty Gob," a gob being slang for a sailor. I'd love to find another copy of the audio, should anyone out there have it floating around.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for these, Allen, they sound great!
Hess & Duke`s Salty Gob is by a different artist, Jess Hillard & Duke Clark. I`ve never heard it or these artists... yet.
DeleteYou do the lord's work man, can't find these anywhere.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
