"Blues" music was created to chase away gloom... The Happy-go-lucky songs of the Southern Negro we call "Blues" - W. C. Handy, 1919. "The Father of the Blues" points out that you've got to be happy if you want to sing the Blues.

Unissued Big Bill on Milan Records
« on: September 25, 2012, 01:09:54 AM »
I've just got this.

15 mid thirties recordings claimed to be unissued. The Pre War Blues discography claims most of these as being alternate takes. The record was apparently first issued in 1991 according to the ? sign so could be earlier but not later.

There are spoken introductions giving the line up (usually the same as in the discography) and the year of recording which is usually very wrong.

The introductions sound very much as if they're by Broonzy.

Does anyone know anything about this CD such as the source of the recordings and the circumstances of the taping of the introductions. They are fairly obviously not contemporary to the recordings.
