[78-L] Deep Ellum Blues

Tue Dec 30 11:33:58 PST 2008

Except for the Stabile and Paul recordings, these are all versions of a different song from the Shelton Brothers' hillbilly version, originally issued on Victor 23846 from 1933. The Sheltons were still using their given surname, Attlesey, when they wrote the number with Leon Chappelear. The '33 disc is the earliest one of this song. We have a nice restored version of this on our CD "Western Swing Chronicles, Vol. 2."?It's available on OJL-1001 on our site.
