This compilation contains Blues with rather frivolous lyrical content recorded between 1928 and 1935.
"Hokum" is an old Vaudeville term that the New York Times once defined as "a brand of fun bordering on vulgarity and quite obvious."
(quoted from Stephen Calt's "Barrelhouse Words. A Blues Dialect Dictionary")
