Recorded in New York City during November of 1924 with Monette Moore (appearing as Susie Smith) vocals, featuring an accompanying trio consisting of Bubber Miley trumpet, Jake Frazier trombone, and Louis Hooper piano.

*"Weeping Willow Blues" was written by Pam Carter.

Appearing under the pseudonym of Susie Smith singer Monette Moore delivers her own fantastic rendition of a song that was first recorded by "Empress of the Blues" Bessie Smith.

Recorded two months earlier in September 1924, Bessie's version also featured an accompanying trio consisting of Joe Smith cornet, Charlie Green trombone, and Fletcher Henderson piano.
