This cd is the fourth of
the complete Tampa Red
and covers the years 1930
and 1931. Included here
are three different
versions of his classic
You Rascal You
with slight variations in
the lyrics, the best
being under the monikers
of Tampa Red and
his Hokum Jug Band.
A couple of guitar solos
(Boogie Woogie Dance,
Bumble Bee Blues) are
here to remind us why he
was dubbed as the steel
guitar wizard. The rest
alternates hokum, dance
tunes (They Call It The
Boogie Woogie) and
strictly blues songs like
Sad New Blues, Depression
Blues (both barely
audible) or Things Bout
Coming My Way a variation
around Sittin On
The Top Of The World.
Some tunes feature just
Red with his guitar while
others benefit of a
piano, a second guitaror
the previously mentionned
jug band.Four sides (3 to
6) are sung by Sweet Papa
Tadpole. Except for some
minor exception this side
have been well preserved
and the overall quality
is pretty good.
