Doughboys, Playboys and Cowboys: The Golden Years of Western Swing

Doughboys, Playboys and Cowboys: The Golden Years of Western Swing (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

This four-disc box chronicles the development of Western swing from the Fort Worth Doughboys' 1932 recordings through its heyday in the late '40s. Along the way, the collection covers every major artist, from Bob Wills and Spade Cooley to pioneers like Milton Brown and Bill Boyd, who have been under-represented almost to the point of extinction in ...

Broke, Black and Blue [Box] (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

This four-disc, 100-track box set differs from most blues compendiums on a number of fronts. For openers, it focuses on the first 20 years of blues recordings, from 1924's "Barrelhouse Blues" by Ed Andrews to 1946's "Rhythm Mama" by Johnny Temple. Second, even though there are entries from artists like Blind Blake, Mississippi John Hurt, Son House ...

Every Tone a Testimony: An African American Aural History

Every Tone a Testimony: An African American Aural History (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

Subtitled "An African American Aural History," the scope of this two-CD set is impressive, encompassing poetry, writings, speeches, and music by many major Black musicians, writers, and activists of the 20th century. The focus of the disc, however, wavers enough to make it an uneven, jumpy listening experience, although it's a valuable source for ...

Sounds Like Jimmie Rodgers

Sounds Like Jimmie Rodgers (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

Jimmie Rodgers was more than just country music's first big star, he was also one of the first performers in the early stages of the recording industry to truly understand the benefits of having a distinct public persona. He became known as "the Singing Brakeman" after his discovery at the famed Bristol Sessions in 1927, and he astutely altered ...

Rare Jazz & Blues Piano (1927-1937)

Rare Jazz & Blues Piano (1927-1937) (1995) more music like this

by Various Artists

Despite the title of this CD, the emphasis in the music is more on the male vaudeville singers who are featured than their accompanying pianists. There are four songs apiece featuring singers "Talking" Billy Anderson and Scottie Nesbitt, and Billy Mitchell sings six good-time, mildly risqué numbers, including "Two Old Maids," "Looking for a Cherry ...

Black Boy Shine & Black Ivory King

Black Boy Shine & Black Ivory King (1936) more music like this

by Black Boy Shine/Black Ivory King

Eighteen songs by Black Boy Shine (rounded out by four more from Black Ivory King), in surprisingly good sound. Holiday had no time, in the course of two years of recordings, to deteriorate in either his sound or health on record here. Most of his songs have to do with aspects of life for his Black audience, and are highlighted by inventive piano ...

Walking the Floor over You [Box Set]

Walking the Floor over You [Box Set] (1996) more music like this

by Ernest Tubb

Okay, it's eight 70-minute-plus CDs and over $200 retail, and that would dissuade even loyal fans from springing for this set. But there's not a bad cut here, nor more than a dozen tracks that have been heard in 50 years, or are ever likely to be heard elsewhere. And most of the 200+ songs, covering 1936 until early 1947, never showed up on LP. ...

Complete 1927-1950 Studio Recordings (2002) more music like this

by Helen Humes

A superb vocalist even at the age of 13, Helen Humes rarely left that peak of performance, appearing in front of some of the most swinging jump tunes as well as the most affecting jazz ballads during her long career. Like Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington, Humes was an early resonator with the blues, which allowed her the intensity of feeling to ...

Hillbilly Blues: 1928-1946 (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

Country music began life as the white man's version of the blues. Termed "hillbilly music" until the early '50s, country embraced blues' form and themes, a template it continues to follow today, albeit dressed up in slicker clothes. It's still all about the hazards of love and the struggle to survive and find a good time in a world growing ...
