More Gospel, Jazz and Blues (1927-1930)

Here are three more great recordings that every music lover should know. They have been added to the appropriate previous entry. Special thanks to fixbutte for introducing me to Jabbo Smith and to AlRog for making me pay attention to Geeshie Wiley.

• Blind Mamie Forehand, “Honey in the Rock” (Anchor 381, 1927)
• Jabbo Smith’s Rhythm Aces, “Jazz Battle” (Brunswick 4244, 1929)
• Geeshie Wiley, “Last Kind Words Blues” (Paramount 12951, 1930)

Next time: more early country...
