This week we've got Chicago blues, honky-tonk country, a couple of wartime songs with timely messages, jazzy singing from The Boswell Sisters, a 1929 banjo-based record that anticipated rock & roll, a new one from Toronto's Eddy Currents and a lively number from the sax player who later on convinced Little Richard to give up "the devil's music".
