Cover of Irving Jones' The Ragtime Millionaire; source: Paul Oliver: 'Songsters & Saints', p.59; click to enlarge!
Paul Oliver in his book 'Songsters & Saints' (p. 58/59) points out that Moore's 'Ragtime Millionaire' was a suitably updated version of Irving Jones' (1874-1932) 1900 novelty composition 'The Ragtime Millionaire' He comments also that Moore must have known another Jones song, 'My Money Never Gives Out', because he incorporated certain key lines from it in his "Millionaire".

"This album is dedicated in loving memory to my dear friend Nick Perls."

# "This combines the playing of the 'ragtime barber' William Moore with that of Leadbelly. Moore's 1928 recording of Old Country Rock was a strange cover version of Blind Blake's West Coast Blues. By playing this on my twelve string the feel is quite different to the original."
