More music from the archive… The Hoosier Hotshots were a virtuoso hokum band who rose to fame on Chicago’s WLS National Barn Dance. Most of their material was comprised of likeable novelty tunes, but every once in a while they’d show what they could do with more serious material. This is my favorite Hotshots track ever, and, to the best of my knowledge, it hasn’t ever been reissued on CD. It’s a rock solid performance of the early jazz standard Limehouse Blues.
