Description: THIS CUSTOM CD WAS MADE FROM RARE ORIGINAL DISC RECORDS. ADVANCED FILTERING SYSTEM WAS USED FOR VERY CLEAN SOUND. THIS ENHANCED CD EDITION WAS REMASTERED USING THE LATEST DIGITAL TECHNIQUES. Bio Billy Murray (1877-1954) was probably the most popular recording artist of the acoustic era. Edison released Murray cylinders in 1903. Murray started recording fairly regularly at that time, first for Edison, and then for Columbia and Victor. Murray's voice was well suited for acoustic recording. He sounded natural while singing loudly into the recording horn used in the acoustic recording process. When electrical recording became the standard in 1925, Murray had to adjust. He had to sing more quietly to avoid overdriving the microphones and amplifiers. The public's tastes in music were also changing (largely due to the influence of jazz), and Murray's popularity declined rapidly at this point. In the thirties, Murray recorded only sporadically. He performed on radio, and provided voices for a couple of cartoons. In the forties, he performed on the National Barn Dance radio show. He made his last record in 1943 for the Victor Bluebird label. This CD includes many of Billy Murray’s comic recordings made during the Ragtime and World War 1 Era . The period covered by this CD is 1916 to 1919. He is joined by Ada Jones and The American Quartet on several tracks. 12- WHEN TONY GOES OVER THE TOP (WW1) VICTOR 18510 RECORDED 1918 13- THE WORST IS YET TO COME (WW1) VICTOR 18515 RECORDED 1918 14- CAN YOU TAME WILD WIMMEN VICTOR 18515 RECORDED 1918 15- MY BARNEY LIES OVER THE OCEAN (WW1) VICTOR 18530 RECORDED 1919 16- HOW ARE YOU GONNA WET YOUR WHISTLE VICTOR 18537 RECORDED 1919 17- I’VE GOT MY CAPTAIN WORKING FOR ME NOW (WW1) VICTOR 18604 RECORDED 1919 18- JUST AS WE USED TO DO COLUMBIA 2746 RECORDED 1919 19- TAKE ME TO THE LAND OF JAZZ COLUMBIA 2766 RECORDED 1919 20- AND HE’D SAY OO-LA-LA WEE WEE VICTOR 18610 RECORDED 1919 21- DIXIE IS DIXIE ONCE MORE VICTOR 18610 RECORDED 1919 WITH THE AMERICAN QUARTET 22- WAIT TILL YOU GET THEM UP IN THE AIR BOYS VICTOR 18628 RECORDED 1919 23- FLOATIN’ DOWN TO COTTON TOWN VICTOR 18628 RECORDED 1919 WITH THE AMERICAN QUARTET
