Betty Gray recorded only two songs in late 1927 (and possibly two more as Kitty Waters later in the year) which is a shame, because despite her awful phrasing on the refrain on this track she shows a lot of promise and certainly deserved a few more trips to the recording studio, maybe with some better backing musicians. This track Loud and Wrong is a great murder ballad about a jealous husband. The way she sings “…baseball…bat” makes me extremely giddy.

“Loud and Wrong” is a great title – think O might adopt it as my personal motto…
