Oh, and:

quote:
Uncle John Scruggs was an American banjo player, born a slave.
There exists film of him performing the folk ballad “Little Log Cabin Round the Lane” in a minstrel style. The footage was taken by the Fox Movietone News, in Powahatan, Virginia on November 8, 1928. Uncle John Scruggs played 5-string banjo in the traditional clawhammer style. There are no other known recordings of his music.

Jimmy Logsdon - "Hank Williams Sings The Blues No More" (1953)
Williams had been a mentor for Logsdon, who released this tribute within days of his friend's death.
A few years later, under the name Jimmy Lloyd, Logsdon would release the rockabilly classic "I Got A Rocket In My Pocket"

Lucille Bogan - "Shave 'Em Dry" (1935) -- NSFW
quote:
Her final recordings with Roland and Josh White included two takes of "Shave 'Em Dry", recorded in New York on Tuesday March 5, 1935. The unexpurgated alternate take is notorious for its explicit sexual references, a unique record of the lyrics sung in after-hours adult clubs... by far the most explict blues song preserved at a commercial pre-war recording session

The Life & Death of a Bluesman (1987)
BBC radio documentary on the life of Leroy Carr (1904-1935), including many of his songs. The veddy British narrator can be a bit jarring, but he seems to know his stuff.

Mississippi John Hurt - Frankie

Mississippi John Hurt - Lonesome Valley
quote:
In retrospect, it's easy to see why the Okeh records failed. For one thing, despite the fact that a number of his songs have the word "blues" in the title (a concession to commercial trends of the time as much as anything, perhaps), they're not blues. Hurt belongs to an older, pre-blues tradition. Although people often think of the blues as an ancient music, overwhelming evidence points to its having come into being in the early years of this century. The fact that John Hurt worked with fiddle players shows that he was more conversant with older styles. Furthermore, the large number of story-songs in his repertoire puts him in what is known as the "songster" tradition, since blues, for the most part, have no narrative content. And finally, you won't hear a bent note in any of John Hurt's music (although he does play slide guitar on one track on this collection, "Talking Casey," a song he probably learned much later). His style owes more to the pre-blues ragtime technique than it does to any of the more modern music being made just a few miles away from where he grew up. Also, he was older than the majority of the blues musicians being recorded at the time, so it makes sense that his music would hearken to an earlier time.
