The Jug Bands Volume One. Released 1967. The reissuing of classic blues recordings has been a project spanning not only time – more than half a century – but also territory: few European countries have failed to join in, and good work has been done in Australia and Japan. South America, though, not so much. But fans remember with affection a small label from Argentina, Natchez. The first EP brought together the two most celebrated jug groups from Memphis. First, the Memphis Jug Band itself, with the 1927 Victor coupling of Sometimes I Think I Love You and Memphis Boy Blues, a stomping blues with a rampaging kazoo. On the other side, a pair of sparkling instrumentals from 1928, also issued on Victor, by banjoist Gus Cannon’s Jug Stompers. Pig Ankle Strut and Bugle Call Rag featured their exquisite harmonica player, Noah Lewis.

One of the greatest of all jug bands and possibly the most influential, the Memphis Jug Band recorded extensively from 1927-1930. All of its recordings (other than three sessions from 1934) have been reissued by the European Document label on three CDs. The original version of the group consisted of Will Shade on harmonica, guitar, and/or vocals; Ben Ramey on kazoo; guitarist/signer Will Weldon; and Charlie Polk on jug. During the year-long period covered in this CD, the only significant personnel change was the addition of Vol Stevens on banjo-mandolin and guitar
