1921: Make Believe and Smile (Phonographic Yearbook Series)

1921: Make Believe and Smile (Phonographic Yearbook Series)

One of the worst race riots in U.S. history, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, marred the Harding administration's attempt to usher in a period of "normalcy" in American life following World War I. Songs with instructions to cheer up by Nora Bayes and Marion Harris, along with the tongue-in-cheek "Ain't We Got Fun?" by Van and Schenck, were hits right along with the new jazz, by relatively safe artists such as Paul Whitemanâ€”but also by the explosive Mamie Smith and Her Jazz Hounds. This is the second volume of Archeophone Records' celebrated Phonographic Yearbook series, and it's now available in a beautiful second edition, with one bonus track, an expanded booklet, improved sound, and the high standards listeners have come to expect from the leader in acoustic-era reissues.
