Thank you for all your suggestions.

A comment to Synecdoche's post: I'd rather label the Mississippi Sheiks as Country Blues than Country Swing.

Funnily enough, I heard this track for the first time last week! Just give it a couple of years and it'll beat Li'l Dog on your iTunes. :) I actually DJ Albert Ammons a lot. He is among my top 'automatic pilot' artists/bands. In other words, if I need to chose a song during one of my sets, without ...

Songs about taxes
Do you know any swinging songs that refer to taxes ? Taxes are due on April 15th, in the U.S. However, I'm posting this just for fun and not out of any particular DJ-ing needs. :) Preferably, you should suggest tunes either recorded between the 1920s and the early 1960s, or recorded later, but with ...

Thank you for the list! I hope that some of these artists become available on Amazon or eMusic USA. :) I'd like to mention one more Australian artist, even if his focus is vintage Blues, instead of vintage Jazz, and not all is material is danceable: C.W. Stoneking ! I saw him performing in Los Angel...

I think that the above link is wrong. Is it supposed to point to an eMusic list of songs?straycat wrote: http://www.emusic.com/search.html?QT=dj+wuthe&mode=b
[edit] Or maybe, his compilations are not available on eMusic USA. Did he make them from his 78 collection?[/edit]

I suppose it's a bit different when it comes to the end of the night though. You can't respond to the crowd if they want to carry on dancing for another hour but the promoter said you have to finish by 12 ;). I normally find I shortlist a few possible 'last songs'. And then when it gets to 20 minut...

There's a brilliant version of 'Whoa Babe' by Bob Wills getting around here in Australia atm which is about 200bpm that'd rock. Dunno the date, though, but there's a copy on emusic . Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys recorded that version of 'Whoa Babe' in 1938. I like very much the Texas Playboys' ...

If you are really looking for something different :), how about some 1950's Western Swing ? Billy Jack Wills , C Jam Blues (1952) - 240 Pee Wee King , Seven Come Eleven (1955) - 210 Or some Hillbilly Boogie ? 'Little' Jimmy Dickens , Country Boy Bounce (1956) - 210 And some Hawaiian Jazz for the Bal...

In my opinion, this is the most interesting among the song ID questions left open. Here is the clip again (alternate link ). I sent this tune to a couple of friends more knowledgeable than me, but none of them could identify it. My guess is that the song was recorded in the early 1940s (there is a h...

Reuben, this is one more thread that should be moved to to the 'Song IDs' folder and should get labeled as '[Answered] Algiers Hoodoo Woman, Dr. Michael White', when you have time. I'm done checking the couple ones I contributed to, so I won't bother anymore with such requests. :) Thank you, Lorenzo
