It's getting DAMN hard to find GOOD fast music from the 1920s, remastered quality.
But I think I found a good CD:
Rob Fisher's Shaking the Blues Away
I LIKE it.
But I might be going ahead and breaking away from my historical accuracy for definitely music... I can't find a lot of music for the 1920s that I like and that I know will get others up and going. So I think I'm gonna also get something from The Charlotte Swing Band. It's hitting the 40s, but what can you do? I at least am keeping the promise that I'll stay within 1939, and Sing Sing Sing (my favorite, and everyone knows it) is from 1936, so I'm not a horrible person.
I also just found a good Big Band album from 1936-1937. So I'm gonna use that as well.
So far the only two songs that I know break away and go into the 1940s are Hellzapoppin' and Choo Choo Ch'Boogie. Otherwise, for individual songs, I just have My Baby Just Cares For Me and Sing Sing Sing.
The CD's I'll get:
Big Band Sounds - 1936-1937 ($9.99)
Charlotte Swing Band - Swing Masters Vol. 1 ($9.99) (I may get Vol. 2 and 3, both of which are $9.99)
And Rob Fisher Shaking the Blues Away: Good Tunes for Hard Times ($9.75)
I think that'll keep me covered for most of the night.
