Western Swing on 78: Port Arthur Jubileers / Jimmy Hart & His Merrymakers

Several years before his debut with Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys, mandolinist, fiddler, and vocalist Tiny Moore performed with and then led a Port Arthur, Texas, band called The Jubileers (among other things). Digitized from Decca and Bluebird 78 RPM singles, here are nine of the sixteen sides they recorded, including six with Moore on mandolin, four with Moore as writer, and two with Moore as a vocalist.
