This is truly an interesting find in my dad’s collection. We know by now my dad’s love for the Dixieland style of music. So it’s not surprising I found this record in the stacks.

But what was surprising is that this recording was made by seven musicians that had never played together before. You most certainly can’t tell. And they’re not exactly household names. 

So, get ready to hear what it must have sounded like rollin’ down the Mississippi River in the late 19th and early 20th century in Volume 195: Delta Dixieland.
