Southern Melody Boys' Complete Recordings


Two posts back I put up all of the Southern Melody Boys' recordings that I had at the time. Since then, I has acquired dubs of the rest of their records which are extremely rare. Very few folks have heard these sides. They are wonderful and I hope that you all will enjoy them!

(I will delete the previous post once this one is up)

Woodrow Roberts - guitar, tenor

Feb. 17, 1937 - Bluebird Session, Charlotte, NC

    Jeremy,

    Thank you very much for this one. I am a huge fan of 30's country, and especially the Bluebird Artists. I am not very familiar with these guys so this share is highly appreciated!

    Ditto here... mediafire says the file has been removed or altered by the owner. I'd love to get the rest of these wonderful recordings if possible...thanks for posting them, regardless!

    These are tremendous recordings... glad to finally have downloaded them. These guys are a bridge between the old-timey sounds of the Depression era and the birth of bluegrass.

    I'd love to know more about these two fellows, where they came from, and what happened to them. They were certainly ahead of their time.
