144 The Phonograph Monthly Review «/sir ;i3v» VOCAL SOLOS Columbia 15100-D— 1 The Miami Storm. An Old Fashioned Picture, sung by Vernon Dalhart with violin and guitar accompaniment. Columbia 15098—Billy Richardson’s Last Ride. Kinnie Wagner’s Sur- render. Sung by A1 Carson, with mouth harp and guitar accompani- ment. Good for this class of song and voice especially. Columbia 750-D—Half a Moon. Jersey Walk. Both from “Honeymoon Lane”—Johnny Marvin of “Honey- moon Lane Co.” These may be en- joyed by those who like the artist’s “peculiar” style of singing. Columbia 15099-D—White House Blues. Monkey on a String. Sung by Charles Poole, accompaniment by The North Carolina Ramblers. Rube style, with laughing song effects. Columbia 14161-D—Papa If You Can’t Do Better. Black Snake Blues. Martha Copeland with piano ac- companiment. Columbia 14162-D—Take What You Want. We Don’t Need Each Other Anymore, by Ethel Waters, the first with piano accompaniment, the sec- ond is accompanied by novelty or- chestra. Columbia 15102-D—Ida Red. Sally Goodwin, sung by Riley Pickett, with fiddle and guitar accompani- ment. Columbia 14165-D—Charleston Hound, piano accompaniment by Clarence Williams. Who’ll Chop Your Suey When I’m Gone? banjo accompani- ment by Luddy Christian. Both sung by New Orleans Willie Jackson. Columbia 14164—Nobody But My Baby is Gettin’ My Love and Senor- ita Mine are sung by Lucille Heg- amin, accompaniment by Clarence Williams and Band. Columbia 15101-D—Take Back Your Gold is one of the old time senti- mental and about on a par with those we have “imposed” upon us nowadays. The Railroad Tramp is a good companion of the first. Both sung by Walter Morris with guitar accompaniment. Good of their kind. Columbia 692-D—That’s Why I Love You. I Ain’t Got Nobody, sung by Ruth Etting, with piano accompani- ment. Good voice and expression, but not much to the words. Columbia 15084—Turkey in the Straw. Ya Gotta Quit Kickin’ My Dog Around. (Gid Tanner and His Skil- let Lickers, with Riley Puckett). These songs were much in evidence many years ago but they seem to have lost nothing in being revived. Don’t miss this record. Columbia 15088-D—Sauerkraut. Rock- a-Bye-Baby, sung by Riley Puckett, with guitar accompaniment. The first time for years that I have heard this German comic and it is certainly all right. Victor 1177—Valencia-Amapola. Sung in Spanish by Tito Schipa, orches- tra accompaniment. It is almost absurd that so great a tenor should record such a piece as the first and the only credit is the quality of the voice and the orchestra accompani- ment. On the reverse side is a lovely sustained, familiar melody, moderate, even tone quality, of quiet rhythm, fine voice quality, attractive orchestral accompaniment. Victor 20244—Asleep in the Deep. Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep. Two old favorites sung by Wilfred Glen in a magnificent bass voice. The second ends in a descending scale of bass notes. Victor 20229—Baby Face. I’m On My Way Home are both by Jack Smith, the Whisepring Baritone, with piano accompaniment by Arthur Johnston. Popular songs well suited to the voice and style and this artist. Victor 20242—Butcher’s Boy, with violin and guitar, and I Wish I Was a Single Girl Again, violin, guitar and harmonica accompaniment, are Mountaineer songs sung in charac- teristic manner by Kelly Harrell and for this style of sangs are certainly good his voice being particularly well adapted to the style. Victor 20193—There’s a New Star in Heaven Tonight. An Old Fashioned Picture. (Vernon Dalhart.) The voice of the artist, the guitar and voilin accompaniment are nice but the words are “silly” nonsense. Victor 20198—Six feet of Papa. Look- in at the World Thru Rose Colored Glasses. (Aileen Stanley.) Okeh 8391—I’m Gonna Dodge the Blues Just Watch and See, and Oh! Doctor the Blues. Both sung by Lonnie Johnson, accompaniment by organ and fiddle. NEGRO SPIRITUAL Brunswick 3116—Standing in Need of Prayer, introducing “Jerusalem Morning” and I Couldn’t Hear No- body Pray, by Maskat Shrine Quar- tet. Piano accompaniment, good qual- ity of voices, beautiful harmonizing.
