Viola McCoy, a prolific African-American blues and vaudeville singer who recorded under many names in the early 1920s, records 'Midnight Blues' and 'Triflin' Blues' on Gennet 5128. Gennett was the Indiana independent label that also recorded Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton; original Gennett pressings of 1920s blues artists are scarce and collected internationally.
