81. K.C.MOAN BY MEMPHIS JUG BAND, 1929 REMIX: KYLE TOMZO (FEATHERS), K.C.MOAN, 2007 The Memphis Jug Band is one of the most historically important jug bands. They were the main performers of the extremely popular Memphis style of the 1920s. This may have been a railroad work song and is about the pace and movement of a train, which sounds like “she got a heavy load”. Tomzo’s intricate drawing shows a train running vertically up the page. The train tracks are a recurring motif in the work crossing the page and in the background a graveyard looms. Kyle Tomzo is a member of the US band Feathers. See selection 79. |
