Recorded in Chicago during August of 1927 featuring Ma Rainey vocals, Kid Ory trombone,
Claude "Hop" Hopkins piano, and unknown bass brass.

*"Slow Driving Moan" was written by Gertrude 'Ma' Rainey.

The "Mother of the Blues", "Ma" Rainey sings of wanderlust and discontentment referring to herself as nothing more than a "common old rollin' stone". Sung in her typical moan this performance is set apart with the punchy piano of Claude Hopkins. -But, Ma offers consolation and a gem of wisdom by reminding us that even the toughest of ramblers get homesick sometimes.
