This record was produced in New York City during April of 1923 featuring Lillian Harris vocals, accompanied by Dick Landon or Ellsworth Evans cornet, Andy Russo trombone, Sidney Arodin clarinet, Allie Hammed piano, and Tom de Rose drums.

*"Mama's Got The Blues" was composed by Sara Martin.

The song is a reversal of racist and sexist stereotypes, often applied to women by male singers, in which those of darker completion are commonly deemed evil. -For this reason it is quite liberating.
