Nick Lucas - "I’m Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover" (1927)
The original version. Acoustic aficionados might want to check it out -- the guitar work (presumably by Nick) isn't bad.

Furry Lewis - Judge Harsh Blues
Recorded in 1928 or so. Soon after, he went to work as a street sweeper in Memphis.
I saw Mr. Furry play live a few times. His whiskey of choice was Ten High. He was always amused at the long haired skinny white boys like me who loved him.

The curiously lesbian-looking Ralph Peer
quote:
Ralph Peer (May 22, 1892 – January 19, 1960) was an American talent scout, recording engineer, record producer and music publisher in the 1920s and 1930s. Peer pioneered field recording of music when in June 1923 he took remote recording equipment south to Atlanta, Georgia, to record regional music outside the recording studio in such places as hotel rooms, ballrooms, or empty warehouses.
quote:
In 1924, he supervised the first commercial recording session in New Orleans, Louisiana, recording jazz, blues, and gospel music groups there.
He is also credited with what is often called the first country music recording, Fiddlin' John Carson's disc "Little Old Log Cabin In The Lane"/"That Old Hen Cackled and The Rooster's Goin' To Crow". In August 1927, while talent hunting in the southern states for the Victor Talking Machine Company, he recorded both Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family in the same session at a makeshift studio in Bristol, Tennessee, known as the Bristol sessions. This momentous event could be described as the genesis of country music as we know it today. Rodgers, who later became known as the Father Of Country Music, cut "The Soldier's Sweetheart" and "Sleep, Baby, Sleep", while the Carters' first sides (August 1, 1927) were: "Bury Me under the Weeping Willow", "Single Girl, Married Girl", "The Poor Orphan Child", and "The Storms Are on the Ocean". Also in 1927, Peer recorded the fathers of modern RnB, The Memphis Jug Band, in a makeshift studio in the heart of Memphis' Beale St. in the McCall Building

Didn't Furry Lewis do the original "I Hear You Knockin'"?
