Smith Ballew & His Orchestra - (5-6-7-8) 9 Little Miles

Smith Ballew was an excellent singer who worked with the most diverse jazz and dance bands (Ben Pollack, the Dorsey Brothers...); when the Depression struck very harshly, he could no longer perform as a member of other bands, and founded several bands under his own name, before returning to the Dorsey Orchestra and a little later joning the Glenn Miller Orchestra. This wonderful record was made in 1930. Ballew himself interpreted the vocal refrain. further personnel included: Jack Purvis-t Wally Curtis-Lyle Bowen-cl-as Babe Russin-ts Bruce Yantis-vn Bobby Van Eps-p Dick McDonough-bj-g Prob. Ward Lay-b Dee Orr-d.
