This recording was made in Chicago on June 23rd 1926 with Louis Armstrong cornet & vocals, Kid Ory trombone, Johnny Dodds clarinet, Lil Armstrong piano, and Johnny St Cyr on banjo.

*"Lonesome Blues" was written by Lil Hardin Armstrong.

A slow heart rending number with an intro featuring rather thin lines from Johnny Dodds' clarinet, this blues performance is further brought to life by Armstrong's disparaging vocals.
