Legends Mix

I always keep my promises - and last week, when I featured the United label, I promised you to play the vocalese on Night Train of the Four Blazes. Well today you'll get it, together of course with sixteen other hot tracks.

And they include the original, 1944 take of Eddie Vinson's Cherry Red Blues, a 1939 blues with some unusual background vocals and a lot of information on Lucille Bogan.
