Charlie McCoy With Chatman's Mississippi Hot Footers - Brunswick 7118 (1929)

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.



Johnny Temple With The Harlem Hamfats - Decca 7532 (1938)

Summer has begun and the posting has been sparse. Finally got out of the house yesterday to go record hunting. Not a day of big finds but hit a thrift shop that had this one and a Big Bill on Vocalion. Both were in poor shape but grabbed them nonetheless...couldn't beat the price. (Also got a tip from a record store guy saying that a neighbor of his just inherited a bunch of lps and 78s from an octogenarian that played string bass in a jazz outfit and that he would let me know when/if they would be available to search through.)
