Rocky Porter from Georgia is another of the many great Hilllbilly unknowns of the early 50s who should be remembered. These 10 songs is all he recorded for Columbia. For Cody Fox see CCD 309.

Wiley & Gene from Florida/Alabama is basically a great songwriter team with beautiful romantic songs like "When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again", but they were also fantastic singers. Wiley played the fiddle and Gene guitar. Other musicians who worked with them were Darrell Kirkpatrick <bass>, Sheldon Bennett <electric guitar> and Foy Willing <steel guitar>.
