In the Corner Back by the Woodpile #290: Gennett Records with Bob Jacobsen

In the history of early recorded music, one label stands out as a kind of unlikely blessing. A recording studio in the unassuming town of Richmond Indiana would end up making some of the first recordings of now legendary artists in the blues, hillbilly and jazz genres. To help us get a grasp of the contribution that Gennett Records gave to music history is the former president of the Starr-Gennett Foundation, Bob Jacobsen.
