Mississippi-born blues singer and guitarist Jim Jackson outlines the many reasons why Kansas City is the preferred destination for future residence.
“My mother told me, daddy told me too,
Everybody grins in your face, son, ain’t no friend to you.
You ought to move to Kansas City.”
A wildly popular song at the time that also influenced a generation of blues and rock performers decades after it was recorded.
Recorded in Chicago on October 10, 1927.
Released as Vocalion 1144
