In 1939, a new record from a shadowy storefront on DetroitÕs east side starts showing up in juke boxes all over town. It quickly becomes a smash hit, sending men scrambling to cash in, by creating DetroitÕs first home-grown record company! HereÕs the untold story of an unlikely pair of tattooed hustlers: an ex-con, and a shell-shocked World War I vet, plus: juke boxes, the mafia, Hamtramck mamas, Wayne County grifters, the first all-female western swing act on records, the first rockabilly trio Ñ all playing roles in sensational music originally pressed on 78 rpm discs that document the dawn of DetroitÕs recording industry.
