Description
HERE'S blues singer LUELLA MILLER, in a couple of trenchant, heartfelt blues: "DAGO HILL BLUES" and "PRETTY MAN BLUES."
Recorded in 1926 in - I think! - St. Louis, Miss Miller is accompanied by JAMES JOHNSON (piano) - not the famous James P, but a local guy - and his brother, LONNIE JOHNSON, who plays fiddle on "Dago" and his trademark guitar on "Pretty Man." A terrific record, all 'round.
Luella Miller, billed on "Race" Vocalion sleeves in 1926 and 1927 as a star (alongside King Oliver and Jim Jackson), disappeared utterly after 1928! Speculation is rife.
This original 1926 Vocalion 1044 is in pretty nice V++ condition. Might as well call it E-. Slight wear, a few scuffs. Plays great!
*****
These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
