Annette Hanshaw - her first recording - 1926 Audition medley

In 1926 Annette Hanshaw had an audition for Pathe records in which she created two recordings - a pair of 3 song medleys using popular tunes from 1925 and 1926. She was soon a record star and this first test recording fell into obscurity. Here is a chance to once again listen to these recordings - to hear her just before she emerged onto the public scene.

Anything on here with Annette singing is going into my favorites. I love her voice. "That's All!"

Amongst many other aspects of her superb singing style, I like her playful sense of timing and ability to subtly redefine the melody. Her approach is very much that of a jazz singer, even if the material itself isn't always jazz!

one of my grandmothers favorites, she used to sing this to us kids to put us to sleep, a gem in the heavens, made me cry, magnificent thank you

Thank you very much for such an excellent presentation of early Annette Hanshaw who has a growing number of followers at present.

Thank you for sharing this gem, which I have added to my A.H "playlist"

Sounds great! Once you find the people love you, it's much easier to perform!

Does anyone know who she was talking to in the intermission? I guess when she thanks "Jack", that must be the piano accompanist. I doubt that she played the piano herself. Then when she makes those self-deprecating comments about her performance, she ends with what sounds like "Mr. Mawhinney" or "Mr. Blawhinney". --- Graham Colville, Nicosia, Cyprus
