The Delmore Brothers, "Blues Stay Away From Me"

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we are once again in King Studios, 1540 Brewster Ave, Cincinnati, Ohio on the 6th May 1949 for The Delmore Brothers "Blues Stay Away From Me", first released as a 78 RPM 10" on King...

"These brothers, Alton and Rabon, were Alabama born into a family of poor tenant farmers. Their mother sang in the local church and so you have to think she was an influence. They had been sporadically recording since 1931 when Albert and Rabon recorded this with harmonica man Wayne Raney and the input of African American record producer Henry Glover. It's not only a great record, but also a great example of The Blues influence on Country Music.

I first heard the song on the Johnny Burnette Rock' n' Roll Trio LP and there are many other versions too." - KV
