She's Selling What She Used To Give Away

In the 1940s Rhythm 'n' Blues recordings the double entendre was left to the listener to decipher, in these 1930s hillbilly songs the meaning was very clear!' A collection of smutty songs full of the ecstasies of self-indulgence, fornicating, drink and narcotics.

Music as performed in Whore Houses where songs about fornication were joyously received. Many of the songs would become part of 1950s rockers repertoire albeit with cleaned up lyrics. Recorded by hillbillies from the blues and western music traditions. Artists include Jimmie Davis, Cliff Carlisle, the Light Crust Doughboys, Gene Autry, a.o. The extensive booklet features the song lyrics and liner notes.
