Welcome to another episode of the Old Dingy Jukebox. Hop on board for another trip through the shelves of The Old, Dingy Jukebox, with an eclectic hour of gospel, blues, early country, western swing, bluegrass, jazz, conjunto, fingerstyle guitar and roots music from the 1920s through the present day.
In this episode, host Christian Gallo spins everything from fiery New Orleans gospel and postwar Texas blues to California country, bebop, western swing and bluegrass, with a few unexpected detours into Swedish honky-tonk and
vintage Pakistani electric guitar music. The records travel from New Orleans, Houston and San Antonio to Hollywood, Bakersfield, Chicago and San
Francisco, mixing old 78s and 45s with a handful of more recent recordings carrying on the traditions of American roots music.

Step back into the shellac era with a late-night journey through pre-war blues, early country music, jazz, hokum records, string bands, and western swing from the 1920s and 1930s. In this episode of The Old, Dingy Jukebox, host Christian Gallo spins rare and historic 78-rpm records pulled from the golden age of American recording history.
This episode features music from Louis Armstrong & His Hot Seven, Cab Calloway, Big Bill Broonzy, Milton Brown & His Brownies, Barbecue Bob, Mainer’s Mountaineers, the Georgia Yellow Hammers, Eddie Lang & Joe Venuti, Memphis Mose, and more. Listeners will hear a mix of Delta blues, Piedmont blues, early jazz, Appalachian string band music, western swing, old-time country, and Depression-era dance music.
Recorded between 1927 and 1937, these records capture the sound of American jukeboxes, medicine shows, front porches, dance halls, and barn dances before World War Two transformed the music industry. The episode explores the roots of traditional American music and the connections between blues, country, folk, jazz, and early swing.
Perfect for fans of vintage records, 78-rpm collecting, old-time radio, roots music, Americana, folk history, and early recordings, this episode recreates the atmosphere of a dim late-night broadcast drifting through the back roads of the American South.
Featured themes include:
• Pre-war blues and jazz history
• Early country string bands
• Hokum blues and novelty songs
• Western swing and dance hall music
• Rare 78-rpm record collecting

Episode #37 – “Sinners & Redeemers” Records About Saturday Night & Sunday Morning
In this episode, I spin a stack of 78 RPM and 45 RPM records that tell the story of Saturday night temptation and Sunday morning redemption. From fragile shellac discs of the 1920s and ’30s to mid-century jukebox singles, these records capture the push and pull between honky-tonk rebellion and gospel salvation — sometimes from the very same artists.

Blues, jazz, early country, honky tonk, Hawaiian steel guitar and even some ranchera accordion playing. A little bit of everything. I hope you enjoy the wide variety of music featured in the show. Crack a cold one and enjoy this episode of the Old Dingy Jukebox- Down Home 78 RPM Records “Greenback Dollars, Malicious Bed Bugs and Waltzes With Sin.”

Sit back and enjoy an episode featuring 78rpm records from the collection of music producer, collector, historian and author, Lawrence Cohn (1932-2023). After Larry passed away I was fortunate enough to pick through a lot of the records recently acquired from his estate. Larry Cohn was best known for his influential box sets in the early 1990s that featured the complete recordings of Robert Johnson and Bessie Smith. He also was responsible for the influential box set “Roots ‘n Blues-The Retrospective 1925-1950”, a compilation of great 78rpm recordings of early county string bands, blues, country, gospel and jazz.
