Album Info

Release Date: 2000

Label: Catfish Records

This collection contains all of Ramblin' Thomas' recordings, plus the complete 1929 recording session of his little brother, Jesse "Babyface" Thomas, who did not record again until 1948 (see Document BDCD-6044 for Jesse's complete 1948-1958 sessions).

Recording sessions:
Chicago, ca. February 1928 -- tracks 1 to 8
Chicago, ca. November 1928 -- tracks 9 to 15
Dallas, February 9, 1932 -- 16 to 19
Dallas, August 10, 1929 -- 20 to 23

Note about track 11: the CD booklet lists the song as "Hard Dallas Blues #4" -- not sure what Catfish Records is referring to. The Dixon discography does not list that title. Is it "Hard Dallas Blues," take #4? Dixon doesn't list that take #, either.
