Right or Wrong by Gene Rodemich’s Orchestra (1921)

CD 2, track 28

 It’s there in Rust’s dance band discography, but no one really seems to have noticed that the first recording of “Right or Wrong” was made in 1921 by Gene Rodemich’s Orchestra. It’s the same song that would go on to be a big hit for Bob Wills, George Strait, and others. That’s Frankie Trumbauer on sax, making his debut on shellac.
