Classic City Quartet / Columbia 15566-D
I`ll Be Singing `Round The Throne Someday / Hold Thou To Me

Here is some good, solid old southern gospel, recorded right at the time of the stock market crash. This is the only recording this group made and I have no information about them, nor are the songs familiar to me. Enjoy!

Esco Hankins - Mother Left Me Her Bible To Show Me The Way

Here`s some hard-core country gospel music! Esco Hankins was a Roy Acuff sound-a-like, so if you like Roy Acuff, you`ll likely like this.

Akins Birmingham Boys - Columbia 15348-D
I Walked And Walked / There Ain`t No Flies On Auntie
recorded October 31, 1928 in Atlanta, Georgia
Here is another group that only recorded one disc. My copy of this is pretty rough, but it`s plenty listenable. I don`t know anything about this group. Both of the songs sound like they might be old comedy pop tunes of the Vaudeville type. Enjoy!

Carson Robison - Life Gets Tee-Jus Don`t It

Here`s a pretty neat LP. Carson Robison was a country recording artist from the beginning of the recorded country music industry and was on hundreds, if not thousands of old 78`s. He started as sort of a studio artist playing guitar and singimg harmony for Vernon Dalhart, then he started recording solo and with other artists also. He also wrote many songs. His specialty in the 1920`s was disaster and topical songs.
I`m not sure, but I think the recordings on the LP were the last recordings he made, and most if not all of them were issued on 78`s and 45`s. I`m pretty sure all the material here is likely written by him. So we have some comedy songs, some cowboy material, some skit type tracks and some topical songs that borderline on propaganda. He wrote many anti-Hitler and anti-enemy songs during World War 2 and some anti-Communist items after the war, one of which can be heard here. Happy downloading!

Chas. Winters And Elond Autry - OKeh 45207

Chas. Winters And Elond Autry / OKeh 45207
Hand Me Down My Silver Trumpet / You Tell Me Your Dream And I`ll Tell You Mine
recorded February 25, 1928 in Memphis, Tennessee
Here`s the next entry in my "series" of complete issued recordings. This is the only disc issued by this duet. This disc is pretty rough, but I`m pretty pleased with the sound quality I could get from it considering condition. Also there is a skip or two that I couldn`t get to play through.
Hand Me Down My Silver Trumpet sounds to me like it may have origins in the spiritual category. A pretty snappy fiddle/guitar singing duet. You Tell Me Your Dream And I`ll Tell You Mine sounds like a late 19th century tear jerker to me. The style is so different than the other side it`s sort of hard to believe it`s the same duet. Happy downloading!!

Joe Glazer - Songs Of Coal

Here`s something that I think will be interesting to several archive followers. I don`t really have any comments to make about this music as I don`t really care for this type of music that falls into what I`d call protest songs, but I still wanted to post it for those interested.
