Recorded in Chicago during December 1925 featuring 'Papa' Charlie Jackson six-string banjo & vocals.

*"I'm Going Where the Chilly Winds Don't Blow" is credited by Paul Carter.

Describing the harsh complexity of impoverished living conditions in the Windy City, Papa Charlie gives a semi-humorous account of multiple urban misadventures, in a world where jail and death seemed the only feasible escapes. Ironically the song is of rural folk origin.
