This is a really nice novelty record by Arthur (Guitar Boogie) Smith. The Cracker-Jacks are only listed on one side, but I think they're present on both.

Conversation With A Mule is probably badly dated now, but when this was made it I think it still reflected the harsh realities of share cropping in the South. Smith doesn't so much sing it as recite it, rather in the manner of Tex Ritter, and he does it with supreme irony. I like his delivery. It's a considerably better than average country record.

Mandolin Boogie is a rare romp on the mandolin. As a boogie piece it is only so-so, but that can probably be said of more than half of the country tunes that were labelled this or that Boogie over the years. It's better on that score than many I've heard. As a mandolin solo it's adventurous and masterfully played. On that basis the record as a whole is well above average.
