Crankin' It Up

Rock-A-Bye Your Baby is a real feel-good song. You have probably heard later recordings by Jolson of this song; this is the 1918 acoustic version. Jolson liked to perform to a live audience, and in this song he seems to be confined by the megaphone, unlike the 1940's Decca recording which really blows you away with excitement. I used Audacity to remove most of the needle hiss and the pops and clicks. It is being played on our old Brunswick.
