Here is the complete recorded commercial output of J.E. Mainer's Mountaineers from 1935 to 1939. This is all really great stuff.
If you want personnel for these sessions, see pp. 581-583 in Discography of Country Music by Tony Russell. Special thanks to Kilby for these recordings.
I've re-uploaded 1935-1936 due to unzipping issues. Y'all let me know if the problem still persists.

Hi Jeremy - I'm looking for a J.E. side that doesn't seem to have made it up here. Number 111, from the Valentine's Day '36 session. It's the flip of New Lost Train Blues. You have that one handy? I'll be much obliged.

ReplyDeleteThank you - this is great stuff! But would you be willing to re-upload the 1937-1939 file, which Mediafire seems to have deleted? It would definitely be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteJason, I'm glad that you are enjoying the Mainers, but I've actually got to take down all of this post, because it is now available in 2 4-cd sets. You can order them at www.jsprecords.com
