audio Titanic sound 2003-08-25 18:55:42 Frank Hutchison Recorded on April 29, 1927 in St. Louis. The story of the Titanic made a deep impression on people and was the subject of several ballads and tunes. Thus, versions of tunes about the Titanic were recorded by Ray Acuff, Ernest Stoneman, Blind Willie Johnson ("God Moves On The Water"), William & Versey Smith ("When That Great Ship Went Down"), among others. According to Jeff Place, the story of the Titanic "was particularly important to African-American musicians who were strongly aware of the irony that Jim Crow laws had disallowed African-Americans on the ship. It was felt that the owners certainly had received divine retribution." 1927-04-29 00:00:00 78rpm johncarrie@buckeye-express.com 2003-08-25 18:55:42 Tribe 0 3:32 2003-08-26 09:54:51 Tribe 78RPM>CD>MP3 1 Music;Acoustic;Ballad;Country;Old-Time Appalachian;78rpm 568
