Big Bill Broomsey, and that's the way she likes it. So recorded in New York in April, 1930. Recorded as the famous hoken boys, with Georgia Tom on Piano and vocal, Big Bill and Frank Brasswell on guitars and vocals. And before that, Victoria Spidey, with "How Do You Do It That Way", recorded in New York in July, 1929, with Louis Armstrong on trumpet. Well, Mark Goldberg, or pocket, as he likes to be known, has a new album out by the way. From that, this is this train. ♪ ♪ This train is level station ♪ ♪ This train is gone ♪ ♪ ♪ This train got another destination ♪ ♪ ♪ This train is moving on ♪ ♪ ♪ Couldn't have stopped once it got started ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Couldn't have held it up just for you ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ I couldn't below the agony departure ♪ ♪ ♪ This overdue ♪ ♪ ♪ Well, this train is level station ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ This train is gone ♪ ♪ This train ♪ ♪ Got another destination ♪ ♪ 'Cause this train ♪ ♪ Is moving on ♪ ♪ Would be the point ♪ ♪ It won't be ♪ ♪ The time came ♪ ♪ And you were nowhere inside ♪ ♪ Lookin' up to the crime ♪ ♪ Oh, oh ♪ ♪ This time I knew ♪ ♪ That you was right ♪ ♪ Well, this train ♪ ♪ Is left this station ♪ ♪ This train ♪ ♪ So long ♪ ♪ This train ♪ ♪ Needs no explanation ♪ ♪ 'Cause this train ♪ ♪ Is moving on ♪ ♪ One scheduled tour ♪ ♪ It won't be as time to go ♪ ♪ Listen to the field ♪ ♪ We're so long, long, long ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Oh, no, no, no ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ This train ♪ ♪ Is left this station ♪ ♪ This train ♪ ♪ Is gone ♪ ♪ This train ♪ ♪ Got another destination ♪ ♪ 'Cause this train ♪ ♪ This train is gone ♪ ♪ ♪ Marpocky Goldberg with this train. Marp plays bass and sings and there's written all of the songs on this new album off the alleyway, which I think is a bit more bluesy than his last one. I'll probably be coming back to it in a couple of weeks. We're going back again in time now. This is Memphis Mini. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ I got up this morning ♪ ♪ I met a fire in my snow ♪ ♪ I got up this morning ♪ ♪ I met a fire in my snow ♪ ♪ I made up my brain ♪ ♪ Like my pet I do ♪ ♪ I'm crazy, I'm crazy ♪ ♪ Just can't hear myself ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Just can't hear myself ♪ ♪ I'm crazy ♪ ♪ I'm just can't hear myself ♪ ♪ ♪ I'm just crazy, crazy ♪ ♪ And my folks are getting me ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ I'm leaving London, you the dog ♪ That was Sammy Hill, crying for you blues. One of only two tracks he ever recorded in Dallas in August 1929. Before that, Memphis Mini with Crazy Crying Blues accompanied by Kansas Joe McCoy. I'm recorded in Chicago in January 1931. Well, I don't think I've ever played any Arthur Williams. So let's play some now.

Well, the Johnny Max Band has a new album out. I think I played a track a few weeks ago. This is another one. This is Too Many Fish.

From the new album, it's a long road. And he's also a DJ in the States, I think, so if you're over there, you can hear him on the radio. Well, Joe Bonamass has got a new album coming out due for release on March 22nd in the UK. The album is called Dust Bowl, and this is the title track.
