Lottie Kimbrough and Winston Holmes - Goin' Away Blues
wiki: Kimbrough was born in West Bottoms, Kansas City, Missouri, and retained close links to her local community. She was managed by Winston Holmes, himself a local musician and music promoter. Her music career began in the early part of the 1920s, when she performed in Kansas City's nightclubs and speakeasys. In 1924 she undertook her first recording session at Paramount Records, where she was recorded alongside Ma Rainey. Her earliest recordings used the twins Milas (banjo) and Miles Pruitt (guitar), whilst she was later backed by Jimmy Blythe (piano).[2] In 1925 she shared recording studio space with Papa Charlie Jackson. The same year she cut some tracks for the Holmes owned Meritt Records. http://www.wirz.de/music/beaman.htm
