Trumpet Records

The workers were playing some unsold records left behind and one caught Lillian's attention: Wynonie Harris's "All She Wants to Do is Rock".

Trumpet was located on Farish Street, the black district of Jackson, and recorded R&B, gospel and blues artists including Little Milton, Wynonie Harris, Willie Love, and James Waller.

Talent scout Joe Bihari found him at the radio shop to record him at a local night club backing up Ike Turner.

The case made major publications and, in 1954, a judge ruled in favor of McMurray.

[4] Williamson wrote about McMurray in two songs: "Pontiac Blues", about her car, and "309", named for her address.

The site of the Trumpet Records's studio is commemorated by a Mississippi Blues Trail historical marker.
