On October 24th, 1936 Frank Tanner and His Rhythm Kings, a San Antonio 'territory band', entered the studio and cut 7 individual tracks for the Bluebird label. Four of the tracks were release back-to-back, while the other three tracks were doubled up with a different Bluebird artist for release (a common practice in those days).

Not much more is known about this orchestra, one of many that entered a recording studio once, and never were heard from again.
