More music from the archives. This is an early 1940s recording of a cowboy string band doing a jazz standard. The band is Texas Jim Lewis and His Lone Star Cowboys, and the tune is the Bennie Moten song ‘South’. The catalog number is Decca 5905a. The personnel includes, if I remember correctly, future Spade Cooley band members Larry ‘Pedro’ DePaul on accordion and Cactus Soldi on fiddle.
