This is without a doubt my favorite of my 78s and perhaps my favorite record in my collection. It's by Marion Harris and was recorded in 1920. I believe that the shellac was released in 1921 so this record is 99 years old, that blows my mind and I just love this song/recording.

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

That was brilliant. It raises the hairs on my arms to listen to some really old recordings. It's literally like taking a step into the past. I have a real love of all of the early blues recordings, I find them mind boggling. The other great thing is they were done with such honesty, no studio/computer trickery.
