The World's Greatest Minstrel Show - Gentlemen, Be Seated! (Again!) (1959)



Okay, I lied kind of. I said I'd be doing other stuff but all I've got around to doing is more vinyl rips. Here's a rip of a record released in 1959 of an entire minstrel show in the style of those of the late 19th century ( though the songs included are more 20th century songs). Includes solos, medleys, and comic patter. An engaging study of a historic entertainment form. The entire things sounds like it's from another time, because well, it is. Some of the comedy bits are actually really hilarious, and the whole record is really fun all the way through.

Tracklist:
1. Down South/Bring Back Those Minstrel Days
2. What You Doing To Do When the Rent Come Round/Uncle Ned/Little Annie Rooney/Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight
3. Danny Boy
4. Blue Eyed Sally
5. When You Wore a Tulip/Bye Bye Blues/Goofus
6. Come After Breakfast
7. Beets And Turnips
8. She Was Bred In Old Kentucky
9. The Big Bass Viol
10. George M. Cohan Medley
