Little Hat Jones Recordings

Rockdale:
Hey everyone,

   It's been awhile since I posted on here (quite a long while, actually) but I have a few questions that I think some of you may be able to answer. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

   1. How many recordings did Little Hat Jones make? 

   2. Is there a CD available anywhere that includes all of them?

   I seem to recall seeing a 3cd set of Texas music somewhere online that had a lot of them but I don't remember the name of it.

Kenny.

Kenny,

The CD that most people refer to when talking about Little Hat recordings is "Texas Blues (1927-1935)" on Document (DOCD-5161).

It has 10 Little Hat tunes. I seem to remember someone saying that there were 4 more that he recorded but were never released, but I *strongly* encourage you to confirm that elsewhere.

Welcome back Kenny.

Since you've been gone we have created a country blues wiki called Weeniepedia. You can find a link in the left menu. You'll find a page under Artists for Little Hat. The page is obviously still under development, but you will be able to find both the Document complete works and the JSP 3 Cd set of Texas blues listed there. You can probably find a list of songs at the Document site, or someone may have the time to post it here for you.

All for now.

Worth noting that Little Hat accompanies Texas Alexander on several tracks to be found on Texas Alexander Vol 2, which coincidentally was just added to the Juke. I forget how many, but it's like getting bonus Little Hat numbers.

Hi Kenny,
The titles on the Document CD and the JSP set match up.  They are:
   "New Two Sixteen Blues"
   "Two String Blues"
   "Rolled From Side to Side Blues"
   "Hurry Blues"
   "Little Hat Blues"
   "Corpus Blues"
   "Kentucky Blues"
   "Bye Bye Baby Blues"
   "Cross the Water Blues"
   "Cherry Street Blues"
The JSP set gives a little more bang for the buck, since it includes the complete Henry Thomas, Ramblin' Thomas, Willie Reed, and a bunch of Oscar Woods and Smith casey and Jesse Thomas, in addition to the Little Hat Jones cuts.  I have the set and it is very strong.
All best,
Johnm
