The Mob:  The Man from the South (the verse makes it plain that he's from the south side of Chicago), Daffy Ditties (by songwriter Cliff Friend; one of the songs within the song is about Chicago mobsters)
Women of the 1920s & '30s: Hard-Hearted Hannah, Sweet Savannah Sue, She's the Sweetheart of Six Other Guys, Eadie Was a Lady, I'm No Angel...
The Transition from Silent Film to Talkies:  Ever Since the Movies Learned to Talk, If I Had a Talking Picture of You, We Can't Sleep in the Movies Any More, My Brother Makes the Noises for the Talkies
The Depression: Prosperity is Just Around the Corner, Cheer Up (Good Times are Comin'), Cheer Up, Smile, Nertz!, Can I Sleep in Your Barn Mister
Prohibition:  Alcoholic Blues, Hello Montreal (they're going there to get legal hooch).

I have all of these and many others.  If you'll e-mail me privately I can send them as mp3s or mail a CD to you.

All the best--
