Yeah, that's all stuff I already know....I grew up with a lot of it. Got anything a little more obscure? I really like Billy Murray, Ada Jones, Django, Jelly Roll, Uncle Dave Macon, Skip James, Frank Stokes...

Light Crust Doughboys? Spade Cooley? Sounds like just the stuff I've been looking for!

Spade Cooley....my gaawwd....I can't decide if that name's horrible or brilliant.

Spade Cooley did western swing. His biggest hit was Shame On You. He wrote that song Blackland Farmer that was popular in the 60's when he was in prison.
