slholzer 13th Dec 2015		Review This is another intreresting record by Arthur (Guitar Boogie) smith and his Cracker-jacks. Mr. Stalin, You're Eating Too High On The Hog is a topical piece with a vocal by Arthur Smith and lively accompaniment by the Cracker-Jacks. The main subject seems to be the perception that Stalin was over-reaching in his dealings with the rest of the world, but there is some irony in the fact that he was, at the time, engaged in deliberately starving millions of Russians as part of his pogroms. I doubt that many people in the US knew that at the time, though. It's a nice musical artifact of the early Cold War. Banjo Buster is just what the title suggests: a rollicking, beautifully executed banjo solo. We need to hear these kinds of things now and again to remind us that there is so much more to the banjo than Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey sung by some guy in a straw hat and garters, Steve Martin would appreciate this one. I hope he has it in his collection. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
