Milton Beasley with Country Cowboys.

Delta Records # 409 .

Aug 1953.

Side A - Mississippi Boogie.

Side B - I'm The Lonesomest Guy In Town.

Milton Beasley scores big with this magnificent uptempo rollicking 'Mississippi Boogie'! The boogie tunes were all the rage and the Blackberry Boogie gets a revamp and Delta Records were riding the wave! The flip returns to the normal format of a nice ballad but still sounds like Delta Gold!

Henry Ford with String Band .
Delta Records # 417 - 1953
Side A - No More Money No More Honey.
Side B - Is There Peace In Korea.

Henry zips through this jolly little tale of no more money and a money grabbing woman. Plenty of Piano,Guitar and Fiddle and some top notch vocals makes this a top tune a very rare label out of Jackson, Mississippi. Just love the way the end of the song goes a tad squiffy and the guitar player hits a bum note but who cares, it was live and it was real .

MAC QUINN and his 'DUBS' 
Delta Record # 422 - 1954

Side A - Don't Flirt With Me In Public (I'm A Married Man)
Side B - My Good Gal Left Me.

Another Delta record hits the mark with two real cool sides of tip top hillbilly blues. Marcellas 'Mac' Quinn gives us two self written tunes and they both bop along at a nice pace. The B side is just Mac and his Rhythm Guitar and tells a simple story of getting his gal back......real nice bluesy country with a touch of yodel here and there.
The more uptempo A side has Mac with band that includes Lead Guitar, Fiddle and Bass. Another fine song written by Mac and hits the spot with a real rural sound that is what you expect from Delta around this time.
