You’ve Got The World In A Jug

Bessie Brown and George Williams recorded a series of duets through out the twenties and early thirties to some success, though the never really broke out of the blues husband and wife formula. The Bessie Brown here is not the Bessie Brown who recorded as “The Original Bessie Brown” and she’s not really as talented or as interesting as that one, or even her husband George Williams. This song is not a duet, but a solo track with Williams singing and Fletcher Henderson on piano and it’s a great and much more serious and low-key and their duet work.
