From Allmusic…
A loose confederation of musicians from the hill country of
central Mississippi , the
Mississippi Hot Footers were essentially the same players who performed as the
Mississippi Sheiks. With a floating lineup of (Papa) Charlie McCoy (later with
the Harlem Hamfats), Walter Vinson (or Vincson or Vincent, depending on the
recording), and brothers Sam and Lonnie Chatmon (Lonnie was also known as Bo
Chatmon or Bo Carter, depending on the recording, while the family name was
occasionally spelled as Chatman), the Hot Footers/Sheiks were an extremely versatile
black string band who appeared on countless recordings under various names and
in various configurations in the mid- to late '30s. - By Steve Leggett
Recorded on September
22, 1929 at The Peabody Hotel in Memphis ,
TN.
