In addition to Barfield's Bronco Buster CD 9025 here are 12 more tracks from 1939 - 1941. This Georgia boy was more popular in Australia than in the USA. Pappy Beaver started to record in the style of Roy Acuff, but later found his own style. His complete recordings are included in this CD. The Texas Ruby song was added to complete the Columbia collection of CD 9016 and CCD 222. Texan Eddy Akridge recorded in the style of Tommy Collins of the 1950s. Great voice and great backing. It seems to be all he has ever recorded.
