A Columbia session did take place on December 17, 1928 in New Orleans, with Bo Carter, Charlie McCoy and Walter Vincson, where two titles were cut as the Jackson Blue Boys. But before that session, the group ran into the Brunswick mobile unit and recorded as Charlie McCoy and Bo Chatman, as well as backing Mary Butler on four titles. After Good Old Turnip Greens the vocal chores were turned over to Mary Butler for four blues titles. Bungalow Blues was handled smoothly, although a bit stiffly, with it's occasional II and VI chords lending it a vaudeville flavour. On Mary Blues the blues style in the vocal was harder and the guitarist (probably Vincson) begins the instrumental introduction with a few bluesy slurs. On Electric Chair Blues the mandolinist had the same difficulty as on Mary Blues, and Butler cut Mad Dog Blues to better effect with only Vincson on guitar (including some mandolin imitation on the breaks). Chatman and McCoy returned with Bo's standard Corrine Corrina a lilting vocal duet, but closer to Hillbilly blues than to the tracks just laid down by Mary Butler. Finally, Bo appeared to give in and sang East Jackson Blues, although he didn't seem quite comfortable with the style. At his first session using the name Bo Carter in Jackson, Mississippi on December 15, 1930, the guitarist had the benefit of two years of varying recording experiences. He neatly divided the songs into three categories. The two finger picked blues numbers were the standouts (I'm An Old Bumble Bee and Mean Feeling Blues); with the next two (I've Got The Whole World In My Hands - a version of the Sheiks' \"Sitting On Top Of The World\" - and She's Your Cook) sounding like the Hillbilly approximations of the blues so often favoured by Bo and his brothers. The last two tracks on this date were hokum blues in deference to the popularity of Tampa Red, Georgia Tom, Big Bill and numerous others who rode the wave of the hokum fad into lengthy careers. Clearly, Bo Carter was doing his homework.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood Old Turnip Greens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBungalow Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMary Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrocuted Blues (Electric Chair Blues)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrina, Corrina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEast Jackson Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm an Old Bumble Bee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMean Feeling Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI've Got the Whole World in My Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe's Your Cook But She Burns My Bread Sometimes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame Thing the Cats Fight About\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTimes Is Tight Like That\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Pencil Won't Write No More\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBanana in Your Fruit Basket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePin in Your Cushion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePussy Cat Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRam Rod Daddy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoveless Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Love That Thing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackache Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSorry Feeling Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby, When You Marry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoot It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwist It, Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46986024550621,"sku":"714298507829","price":124.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/481112-2689965.jpg?v=1762930290","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/products\/bo-carter-vol-1-1928-31","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
