Original recordings from 1925-1941, from the legendary archival label Dust To Digital (that previously brought the world the beyond elaborate Goodbye, Babylon and Fonotone Records boxsets). 'Not so long ago, the string bass stood tall and proud roughly the length and breadth of a poor man's pine coffin in every musical aggregation throughout the land from Bangor to Buenos Aires, from the highest high life to the lowest lowdown: From tuxedoed symphony ensembles to tipsy Calypso bands to honky-tonkers in oil field dives, from elegantly gelled tango orchestras to Jazz combos in unspeakable speak easys to methed out rockabilly trios right off some flatbed: you can be damned sure Johnny Cash wouldn't have been able to walk the line without bassist Marshall Grant keeping him honest. But somewhere along the line, the upright acoustic bass was snatched from it's hallowed place atop the sedans (special carriage) and show stages and relegated to the trash heap of history in favor of Leo Fender's sleek electric cousin, plugged in to compete with amplified guitar and drums. Now the stand up bass makes it's appearance mostly in limousine liberal Lincoln Center Jazz benefits and hardcore Bluegrass bands or as a comical Hayseed Prop in retro Hillbilly outfits. And yet in that span between the turn of the century tuba blaring from an Edison cylinder and today's synthesized bass loops heaving from every SUV on the pike, the hypnotic pull of the old school string bass remains. A musical craft handed down by calloused, bandaged fingers, it wrought a mighty saga of bottom heavy rhythms that rattled the walls of many a venue and anchored many an historic recording session. Without it, the revolutionary sound of American mongrel music of the last century would have been thin gruel indeed.'\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilenberg Joys - Ted Lewis \u0026amp; His Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDinah - Jean Goldkette \u0026amp; His Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Bottom Stomp - Jelly Roll Morton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Pretty Girl - Jean Goldkette \u0026amp; His Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash-Board Cut Out - Leecan Bobbie Need-More Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBogalusa Strut - Sam Morgan's Jazz Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown by the Riverside - Sam Morgan's Jazz Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBull Frog Blues - Charles Pierce and His Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChina Boy - Charles Pierce and His Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoice of the Southland - Thelma Terry \u0026amp; Her Playboys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMama's Gone, Goodbye - Thelma Terry \u0026amp; Her Playboys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'd Like to Go Back to That Old Pal of Mine - Halfway House Danc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoose Creek-Stomp - Mart Britt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaiting for a Train - Jimmie Rodgers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTexas and Pacific Blues - Frenchy's String Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSo Tired - Coley Jones\/Dallas String Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreeze and Melt - Joe Turner \u0026amp; His Memphis Men\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot Heels - Eddie Lang \u0026amp; His Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeggar's Blues - Sonny Greer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere the Sweet Magnolias Bloom - Taylor Griggs Louisiana Melody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEn Sens Unique S.V.P. - L'Orchestra Antillais\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquabblin' - Walter Page's Blue Devils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuet Stomp - Jones \u0026amp; Collins Astoria Hot Eight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoor Li'l Me - Luis Russell \u0026amp; His Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePanama - Luis Russell \u0026amp; His Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChinatown, My Chinatown - Fletcher Henderson \u0026amp; His Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChances Are - Jack Teagarden \u0026amp; His Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiger Tom Kill Tiger Cat, Damblay, Santapie and Rat - Wilmoth Ho\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepression-Paseo - Lionel Belasco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho's Sorry Now? - Harlem Hot Shots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShag - The New Orleans Feetwarmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy!
