Lovely playing.... noticably influenced by Sol Hoopii in his reworking of Sol's licks, but a very nice player and band.

I have listened to these recordings a few times this afternoon and while it is excellent playing, I am now beginning to question the recording dates. I have not done any research and know very little about Eddie Bush, apart from seeing this photo many times through my life. Unless I am mistaken, the recordings and the playing style seem to sound more early to mid 30s, than late 20s. Anyone?
Shine on

Here is a film of Eddie Bush & The Biltmore Trio from 1929.

That is very nice and thanks for posting it. However, it is Eddie's steel guitar playing that stands the test of time and interests me, not his singing, or his band.

Hi Michael
According to Malcolm Rockwell's discography:
Hard to get Gertie
Clowin' the Frets - April 1928
With a Song in my Heart
Steppin Along - August 1929
Where the Shy Little Violets Grow - December 1928
I would guess that Eddie Bush had heard Sol Hoopi's version of "Farewell Blues" when he came up with "Clownin' the Frets".

Thanks Bill. I am not surprised that the recording information is correct, but without that information I would have put those recordings in the early 30s.
I can hear Sol's influence across those recordings, but that is certainly not a negative point as Sol Hoopii was one of the masters of this style.
Nice to hear from you
Shine On
Michael
