Description
*** 1930 County stomper ***
Rare original 1930 copy of these classic and exceptional instumental Country (fiddle) sides.
Mississippi's The Ray Brothers recorded this ass-kicker in Memphis under the supervision of Ralph Peer.
The "Jake Leg" in Jake Leg Wobble is about the Jamaica ginger extract, better known by it's slang name "Jake," It was marketed and sold as a medicinal tonic for any number of ills. But Americans soon realized that the nearly 70% alcohol content made "the jake" a way to skirt local or federal laws banning the consumption of liquor.
The side effects however were some serious medical symptoms, different from the ones associated with legally manufactured alcohol, often result from drinking moonshine. Often these symptoms are immediate, sometimes they're temporary, but sometimes they're permanent. People go blind from drinking moonshine, or suffer nerve damage or develop sores or ulcers.
Around 1930, though, a specific affliction struck moonshine drinkers in a number of Southern states. It is estimated that some 50,000 people were crippled with partial paralysis, mostly in their legs, as a result of drinking "jake". In some cases the paralysis proved to be temporary, but nearly all victims were forced to walk with in high-stepping, foot-slapping style that quickly became known as the "jake walk" or the "jake leg".
Recorded 28 May 1930 in Memphis, TN.
