Olde Time Hits
from 1924

 

This month's featured album speaks to a time of extreme income inequality, popular isolationist political policies and rising fascism around the globe. We're talking, of course, about the 1920s.

For our next round of covers, the vt community requested some classic, old time-style music. Thanks to the hard-working folks at Duke University's law school, we found a great setlist of music thanks to their annual Public Domain Day celebrations that highlight hits that have just entered the public domain and are available for exactly things like cover collaboration projects.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy a variety of hits from the olde times.
