  • Description

    Although their career together was brief, Tom Darby and Jimmie Tarlton played an important part in the development of what we now know as country music. Darby's bluesy vocals and acoustic guitar were ideally complemented by Jimmie Tarlton's slide guitar playing and his near harmony singing. The pair were to influence not only their contemporaries, but many latter day artists.

    Born in 1890, Tom Darby was of mixed ancestry - his ancestors were English, Irish, Scottish and German with some American Indian blood. Jimmie Tarlton was born in 1892, near Cheraw, South Carolina. They first recorded together in 1927 and were soon sufficiently commercially successful to be called to the studio regularly, their output including the 70 tracks on the first three discs of this set. However, they never really got on with one another, rarely performed live together, and cut their last session as a duo in 1933.
    Ironically, one of the tracks from this final session was titled "Let's Be Friends Again". They never were.

    The fourth disc in the set is devoted to 18 tracks by Chris Bouchillon, whose 1926 recording "Talking Blues" was the inspiration for other companies to record their own 'talking blues' artists.
