Founded and operated by Lillian McMurray, it only operated from 1951-55, but had an enormous impact on the dissemination of the Mississippi blues. Eliason uses the business record and manuscripts from the Trumpet Records archival collection to tell the story of the label, and the complicated relationships between McMurray and the musicians whose work she published.Keywords: blues, music, contracts, contract law, sonny boy williamson, lillian mcmurry, trumpet records, copyright, mississippi, contracts Hosted on Acast.
