[Dixielandjazz] Dry Throat Fellows/Five

[Dick Baker]

I presume you meant "their early LPs," Dave.  They made two LPs as 
the Dry Throat Five before adding a man and making the CD that the 
Sheik likes so much.  In fact, Stomp Off still has those two DTFive 
LPs available, although they won't be reissued on CD.  The DTFellows 
LP was issued on LP, cassette AND CD; the CD is available from 
jazzbymail.com, but you'd have to go straight to Bob Erdos of Stomp 
Off for the LPs or cassette.

Mike Logsdon followed up...
Make that Dry Throat Fellows.  Stomp Off, so if the album isn't 
available anymore, it could very easily be available as .mp3 
download, one of the greatest services the current management of 
Stomp Off could do for the likes of us!

And Dave Richoux added:
I found some of their earlier CDs (when they were known as The Dry 
Throat 5) and played them on my show many times - a fun band with 
really good chops!
