Carson Robison - Why Did I Get Married Jack Of All Trades

Review by Leela Narasimha Reddy

Album Review: Why Did I Get Married / Jack Of All Trades by Carson Robison If you’re into old-school tunes that feel like they’ve been plucked straight outta a dusty jukebox in some 1920s diner, then this album’s for you. Released way back in 1929 (yep, nearly a century ago!), Why Did I Get Married / Jack Of All Trades is a quirky little gem from Carson Robison, blending pop, folk, and country vibes with just the right sprinkle of novelty charm. Backed by Supertone Records, it’s got all the makings of a hidden treasure for music nerds. Let’s talk tracks—there are only two here, but boy do they pack a punch. First up, “Why Did I Get Married.” This one sticks with ya because, well, who hasn’t muttered those words at least once? Carson’s vocals have this raw honesty to them, like he’s sitting right there next to you, spilling his heart out after one too many cups of coffee. The fiddle work—also courtesy of Robison—is toe-tappingly good, adding a folksy edge that makes the whole thing feel alive. And let’s not forget Frank Luther on the Jew’s Harp; it’s such an oddball touch, but somehow it works. It’s playful, relatable, and leaves you humming long after it ends. Then there’s “Jack Of All Trades,” which feels like a completely different animal. While the first track leans more introspective, this one bursts with energy and wit. You can almost picture Carson cracking jokes between verses, showing off his knack for storytelling. The lyrics are clever without being pretentious, and the interplay between the instruments keeps things fresh. If anything, it’s proof that even back in the day, people loved a good tune about hustling through life. What really gets me about this record is how personal it feels despite its age. Sure, the recording quality isn’t exactly Spotify-level crisp, but that’s part of the charm. It’s like listening to history whispering in your ear. Plus, knowing that Robison wrote these songs himself adds another layer of authenticity—you can tell he poured his soul into every note. So yeah, if you’re looking for something polished and modern, this ain’t it. But if you want a slice of Americana served with a side of humor and heart, give Why Did I Get Married / Jack Of All Trades a spin. Honestly, hearing Carson yodel while someone plays the Jew’s Harp might just change your week—or at least make you smile. Random thought: I wonder if anyone’s ever tried covering these songs today. Imagine Billie Eilish taking on “Jack Of All Trades.” Now that would be wild.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Back in 1929, a musician named Carson Robison released an album called *Why Did I Get Married / Jack Of All Trades*. It was a mix of Pop, Folk, and Country vibes. What makes it stand out? Well, Robison didn’t just sing—he also played the fiddle and wrote the songs himself. And get this: Frank Luther added a quirky touch by playing the Jew’s Harp. Imagine that unique sound blending with vocals and fiddle tunes! It’s like they were experimenting with flavors long before it was trendy. Released under the Supertone label in the US, this album feels like a little time capsule of creativity from another era.
