[78-L] The Blues Woman

[Han Enderman]

Juke Box was an Art Rupe label before he started Specialty. See Gart.
The first 5 issues (100-101, 502-504) also appeared on the first Specialty issues (500-504)
(Specialty 500 by Sepia Tones needs confirmation from an actual record; 501-502 are very rare).
After 504 Juke Box continued as a separate Oberstein label (my highest image is 520).
For a list see Ty's ODP.
It is surprising how common those first 5 JBs are.

Well, THE BLUES WOMAN is very logical, since JB 101 is by THE BLUES MAN
(= George Vann), also vocalist on JB 519 ("Vocal by George Vann, the Blues Man").
Another Blues Man is Specialty 508.

>>> What do we know about Marion Abernathy, aka The Blues woman? I just picked this 
up today..Juke Box 502, first Juke Box pressing I've ever seen that didn't have 
a million cracks or other defects. Looks as if it was cut and pressed by 
Capitol (or Radio Recorders and Allied) instead of the usual cheapo Joe Davis 
cronies.
Allen Durham (tb) Buddy Banks (ts) Eddie Beal (p) Frosty Pyles (g) Ernie 
Shepard (b) Monk McFay (d) Marion Abernathy (vcl)
1945
     Voo-it voo-t    Juke Box 502
     Cryin' blues            -

Many of her other sessions with Buddy Banks, Bob Mosely and Karl George are in 
Los Angeles so is the above one likely recorded there as well? Lord 7.0 doesn't 
say (my subscription to Lord Online has expired so I'm back with the old CD-ROM 
version). She's identified only as The Blues Woman on the Juke Box labels..how 
come?
