More of the national jukebox in the public domain

Today I’m visiting the Library of Congress, whose National Jukebox features historic recordings from the early 20th century. Among its featured artists are the New Orleans Rhythm Kings, who wrote several New Orleans and Chicago jazz standards, including “Tin Roof Blues”. They first recorded it in 1923, and it’s been covered by many other musicians since. You can listen to one of the covers at the National Jukebox; it and the original join the public domain in 18 days.
