Crowder Brothers – Depot Blues [Country / Hillbilly] (1936)

[ad_1]

Although one of their more “common” songs, having been issued on multiple labels, I know of only one digital transfer of this song.

Just as scarce is the amount information about the Crowder Brothers compared to any known artist I’ve listed on this channel. I can tell you they were an early country / hillbilly duo from Madison County, North Carolina (north of Asheville), and that they had 2 recording sessions for American Record Corporation in 1936 (the first being in Augusta Georgia in July, and Chicago in December), and a very productive one in September 1937. In total they appear to have produced 20 sides that were spread around the Melotone, Conqueror and Vocalion labels.

Here we have “Depot Blues”, recorded in the Augusta, GA session, July 1936.
