Gasoline Gus and His Jitney Bus (Cylinder No. 2684) is a lively comic song performed by Billy Murray and Chorus, capturing the humor and excitement of America’s early automobile era. Issued on Edison’s 4‑Minute Blue Amberol series, this recording blends Murray’s spirited vocals with a playful ensemble chorus, painting a vivid picture of the jitney craze that swept cities in the 1910s. With its jaunty rhythm and witty lyrics, the piece stands as both a musical entertainment and a cultural snapshot of the transition from horse-drawn carriages to motorized transport. Collectors prize this cylinder not only for Murray’s signature style but also for its historical resonance as a lighthearted commentary on modernity at the dawn of the automobile age.
