Early Recordings of Jug Band Jazz Greats (1963) CD

Memphis Jug Band, Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers, others.
Part of the Folkways Records archives.The original notes are included.

Like the blues, jug band music of the 1920s evolved into separate country and city styles. In both, however, the jug's distinctive sound sets this music apart from the blues or jazz that influenced it. This selection of breakdowns and blues embodies the music's swagger, sensitivity, and musical grandeur.
