A nice collection of some of the leading male singers from the late 1920s into the 1940s. The packaging for this series was very nice, the booklet included a brief history of the Art Deco style as well as matrix numbers and recording dates for each of the tracks. For the sole tune by Lew Bray, the authors ask "Does anybody out there know anything about this Texas vocalist?" The second disc includes three tunes by Chick Bullock including a very nice version of Anytime, Any Day, Anywhere recorded by the ARC house band that included both Dorsey brothers and Joe Venuti for that session. Also, my favorite version of A Hundred Years From Today by Jack Teagarden. Enjoy. + +

Eight tracks by Ukelele Ike!
Whoop!
So many that I never bothered to pick up a collection of his music. Definitely one of the better 'various artists' sets that I've found.
I'm surprised Scrappy Lambert hasn't surfaced on your site yet. He sang on guzillions of records, I actually think of Chick Bullock (Never Mind the Sex Pistols- Here Comes Chick!)as the "other Scrappy Lambert" they were both pretty ubiquitous. You have a great site, keep up the good work!
I'm sure I have some Scrappy somewhere, probably on 78s though which I just haven't had time to get to digitizing yet.
In one of those bizzare coincidences that we sometimes run into, I had just listened to this most excellent compillation and "discovered" Pinky Tomlin, whose name was unfamiliar to me. That very Evening I was listening to Groucho Marx's "You bet your life" program from 8/17/1959 and who should make a guest appearance, but Pinky Tomlin! He even sings his famous "Object of my Affection."
You can hear it yourself at Tennessee Bills site: http://tennesseebillsotr.com/otr/You%20Bet%20Your%20Life/
Cool! Thanks, Terry. I know of Tennessee Bill's site but hadn't gotten to the YBYL shows. I'll check out the show.
Could you re-up this one?
