One of those oddball one-release bands from the golden age of jazz: The Mississippi Maulers, made up of some notable jazz all-stars, recorded only one session resulting in two sides for Columbia in the summer of 1928.
The vocalist was Roy Evans, known as the “Yodeling Farmer” – who yodels during a break on the flip side (“Don’t Mess Around With Me”). One of those reminders of the relationship between jazz and early country music at the time.
Recorded on July 20, 1928
Released as Columbia 1545-D
