Here's all of Wade Mainer's Bluebird recordings. This post will complete all of the Mainer Bluebird recordings. Even though Wade didn't use this name, I've chosen to title this as Wade Mainer's Mountaineers, because the it just seems appropriate. Wade used a couple of names such as "Sons of the Mountaineers" and "Smiling Rangers." Most of the Montgomery Ward issues of Mainer records (including JE) just listed them as Mainer's Mountaineers with no distinction between J.E.'s group and Wade's group so it can be confusing. If you would like the details on which sessions are by which group names and all, see pp. 582-585 in Country Music Records by Tony Russell. Special thanks to Kilby for these recordings.
I have re-uploaded parts 1 and 3 due to unzipping issues.

Great stuff! Can you re-upload part 3, please? It seems to be missing.
ReplyDeleteJeremy,
ReplyDeleteI'm late to the party, but hey it IS old time music right?
Great blog! Lonesome Lefty sent me over.
Jeremy,
ReplyDeletePart 3 is a bad link. . . would you be willing to fix it?
4 months down the track and Part 3 still won't serve. Message at mediafire is:
Delete"Invalid or Deleted File.
The key you provided for file download was invalid. This is usually caused because the file is no longer stored on Mediafire. This occurs when the file is removed by the originating user or Mediafire."
Trust you can work this out, Jeremy - seems you're the only one willin' to publish the Mainer gospel.
Parts 2 and 3 are dead.
