Paramount advertised this beautiful record as a new, sensational and different souvenir record claiming it was first record to feature a picture of artist on the label. The advertising copy for this record stated,

"Ma Rainey wants you all to have a souvenir record with her picture. The famous Mother of the Blues doesn't want you ever to forget her- that's how much she loves her friends!"

Miles and Milas Pruitt were guitar playing twins from Kansas City. They also accompanied Lottie Beaman, Charlie Turner and Ida Cox on a few of their records.
