Robert Johnson traveled to San Antonio (1936) and Dallas (1937) for his ARC, and only, sessions.
In January, Lomax, who knew nothing whatever about the recording business, became Lead Belly's manager and, through a friend, cowboy singer Tex Ritter, got Lead Belly a recording contract with the famous A&R man Art Satherly of ARC records.

Jones started a new band in 1937-38 and recorded a handful of sessions under the ARC labels: Melotone, Perfect and Banner.
In 1931 the label was acquired by the American Record Corporation and continued by them through 1938, when all of the ARC dime store labels (Perfect, Melotone, Banner, and Oriole) were discontinued.
