Arthur Collins - Whats The Matter With The Mail

Review by Giuliana Manca

Arthur Collins' album "What's the Matter with the Mail" is a delightful collection of early 20th-century songs that are sure to transport listeners back in time. Collins' smooth, clear voice is perfectly suited to the jaunty rhythms and catchy melodies of these tunes, which range from humorous ditties about the frustrations of postal delivery to sentimental ballads about lost love.

The album's standout tracks include "The Letter That Never Came," a poignant song about a soldier waiting for news from home, and "The Postman," a rollicking tune that celebrates the hardworking men who deliver the mail. Collins' rendition of "The Mail Must Go Through" is also particularly memorable, with its rousing chorus and upbeat tempo.

About Arthur Collins

Born: February 7, 1864 Died: August 3, 1933 Baritone Arthur Collins deserves a title like Ragtime King since he made more discs with "rag" or "ragtime" in the title than any other singer, bringing the upbeat music into middle class parlors where the Victrola stood. He recorded on different occasions in the 1890s the Ernest Hogan song "All Coons Look Alike To Me," a song that is important since its 1896 sheet music has the first known use of "rag" as a musical term. Many of Collins' recordings are identified as a "coon song" or "darky song," which may be one reason scholars avoid crediting this white singer with popularizing ragtime.
