Cry Baby Blues -1921

This record at least 88 years old

I gotta hand it to the recording engineers that worked before the days of electrical recording because of this record. This record sounds as if it was never played and it gives me a true and rare glimpse at what sound could truly be captured. When I first recorded this record I though because of the sound quality that it was recorded in late 1925. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the recording date was 1921! I find it hard not to repost old post as with each record I literally learn something new. Hopefully my financial situation will allow me to hunt for some more recorded gems. But for now I have my little modest collection. So I keep trudging and if you have any comment or suggestions or questions don not hesitate to hit my up with an e mail.

Gracias por compartirlo.

Zefrnm,

You have really gotten amazing sound out of this record. I have some 300 Brunswick acoustics, mostly Rodemich, including several of "Cry Baby Blues". Your copy must be in wonderful condition. The sax solos, probably by Frank Trumbauer, Allister Wylie and Julius Robb really sound great! How about the other side of this record, "Just Like A Rainbow". Is it in the same condition? Have you posted it, or would you?

Thanks,

Bob
