American Epic: The Best Of Memphis Jug Band

Vinyl.  Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing housed in tip-on jacket with soft touch finish. The Memphis Jug Band, most active from 1926 into the 1950's, revolved around guitarist, harmonica player and singer Will Shade and featured a wide variety of instrumentation including harmonica, kazoo, fiddle, mandolin, guitar, piano, washboard and, of course, jug. They recorded more songs than any pre-war jug band and as a result, were key in developing the jug band tradition and format.
