Super rare Standard transcriptions cut in a studio from 1951 to 1953. Usual great style with similar personnel as the RCA Victor recordings of that time.
A 450 Ernest Tubb - Songs We Had Almost Forgotten = LP 5026 A
BLUE BONNET LANE/I BELIEVE I'M ENTITLED TO YOU/I WALK ALONE/I'M WONDERING NOW/ I LOST MY ACE OF HEARTS/I HATE TO SEE YOU GO/LAST NIGHT I DREAMED/I'M GLAD I MET YOU AFTER ALL/I'LL NEVER TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU/TRAILING HOME TO MOTHER/ LEFT ALL ALONE/I'VE LIVED A LIE/WONDERING IF YOU'RE WONDERING TOO/WHEN LOVE TURNS TO HATE/THERE'S NOTHING ON MY MIND/DARLING, WHAT MORE CAN I DO?
These rather lesser known items by Ernest were recorded in 1944 and 1945 with basically some of his most popular band members as Jack Drake (bass), Ray "Kemo" Head (steelguitar), Jack Sapp (fiddle), Jimmie Short (electric lead guitar) and Leon Short (rhythm guitar). There is no doubt about it that you can expect the usual early great ET sound. One time supply only!!!
A 455 Wilf Carter-The Legendary Yodeling Cowboy = LP 5030 C
THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN/THE TRAMP'S MOTHER (#1)/HE LEFT THE ONE WHO LOVED HIM FOR ANOTHER/MY OLD LASSO IS HEADED STRAIGHT FOR YOU (#1)/JUST ONE MORE RIDE/WHEN THE ICE WORM NESTS AGAIN (#1)/SHACKLES AND CHAINS (#1)/WHEN THAT LOVE BUG BITES YOU (He'll Keep Gnawin', Gnawin', Gnawin')/WHY SHOULD I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU NOW?/BEAUTIFUL GIRL OF THE PRAIRIE/I'M ONLY A DUDE IN COWBOY CLOTHES/MY HONEYMOON BRIDGE BROKE DOWN/WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?/GOLDEN LARIAT (#1)/MY OLD CANADIAN HOME (#1)/ROLL ON DREAMY TEXAS MOON.
With this new compilation of original masters from 1936 to 1950 another "must" for yodel and cowboy song fans is due. Of course, supply is very limited.
A 458 Vin Bruce-Country Songs From Louisiana LP 5032 C
KNOCKIN'ON THE DOOR/ARE YOU FORGETTING?/FILLE DE LA VILLE/DANS LA LOUISIANNE/ SWEET LOVE/I TRUSTED YOU/GOODBYE TO A SWEETHEART (Hello To A Friend)/I'M GONNA STEAL MY BABY BACK/OVER AN OCEAN OF GOLDEN DREAMS/TOO MANY GIRLS/MY MAMA SAID/I'LL STAY SINGLE/I TRIED/HERE IS THE BOTTLE.
Vin Bruce does not imitate anyone but his voice and the backing sounds a lot like the early 50's Carl Smith. The steel guitarist is probably even Carl's "own" Johnny Sibert. You will also hear a great fiddler on this LP re-issue. Although Vin Bruce is also a fantastic Cajun singer the two Cajun tracks on this LP have rather a straight Hillbilly backing. A super LP of a highly underrated and almost forgotten performer. Limited edition!
A 460 Joe "Cannonball" Lewis-The Railroad Engineer = LP 5034 A
RAILROAD ENGINEER/I WONDER IF I CAN LOSE THE BLUES THIS WAY/I'D BE SWEET TALKIN' YOU/ONLY IN DREAMS/TRAIN WHISTLE NIGHTMARE/TRUST ME AGAIN/I'M MIGHTY HARD TO BEAT/TAKE ME BACK FOR OL' TIMES SAKE/MISSING IN ACTION/STILL AROUND/YOURS TO CLAIM/CALLING OUT MY NAME/WHAT'S THE USE/(Down The) ROAD TO LOVE/TRUCK DRIVERS NIGHT RUN BLUES/WHATEVER HAS BECOME OF YOU. (Early 50's).
When I first saw the early Boxcar Willie on TV I thought he was a bad copy of Joe "Cannonball" Lewis. Joe has a powerful voice and he puts a lot of feeling into his songs like ole Hank. He has rhythmic musicians on fiddle, mandolin, steelguitar, banjo etc.. Very limited re-issue.
A 463 Jean Shepard-Star Of The Grand Ole Opry = LP 5037 C
I DIDN'T KNOW THE GUN WAS LOADED/THIS HAS BEEN YOUR LIFE/HE'LL LOVED ME ONCE AND HE'LL LOVE ME AGAIN/JAMBALAYA/SAD SINGIN' AND SLOW RIDIN'/IF YOU CAN WALK AWAY/I THOUGHT OF YOU/JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE/BEAUTIFUL LIES/A SATISFIED MIND/I WANT TO GO WHERE NO ONE KNOWS ME/ACT LIKE A MARRIED MAN/I LEARNED IT ALL FROM YOU/SECOND FIDDLE TO AN OLD GUITAR/BEGGIN' TO YOU/HE PLAYS THE BANJO (I Play The Banjo).
There is no doubt about it that Jean Shepard was the most popular female artist of the 50's along with Kitty Wells. This LP presents a collection of very rare transcriptions from the mid 50's to mid 60's. Jean's fans will find out by looking over the track listing that several songs never appeared on any commercial records, so far. That makes the album a real collectors' item!!!
A 464 Tabby West-The Hillbilly Sweetheart = LP 5039 A
I WAS THE BRIDESMAID/YOU GAVE ME A HARD WAY TO GO/INCHIN' UP/FORBIDDEN FRUIT/A COLD ONE WAY STREET/PRETTY LITTLE DEDON/HERE'S TO LOVE/OH! MAMA (If Only I Had Listened To You)/SEA OF SORROW/MY DADDY LEFT MY MOMMY AGAIN/SEND ME SOMEBODY LIKE JOE/TEXAS MILLIONAIRE/I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH TO LEAVE YOU/CREW CUT AND BABY BLUE EYES/HILLBILLY BLUES/I LOVE EVERYBODY.
Tabby West is totally unknown these days and she never had a hit back in the 50's when she cut the songs contained in this LP. It's a mystery why she didn't make it in the early 50's. She has a very powerful voice and never had any voice problems like Kitty Wells or Goldie Hill who sometimes had difficulties keeping their tone steadily in the right key. With the right song at the right time Tabby could have been the female Hank Williams because she puts so much Hillbilly feeling into her songs. I don't know of a girl singer who was closer to Hank than Tabby. Hank Williams fans should have this LP!!!
A 466 Red River Dave-Yodelin' Cowboy Memories = LP 5040 A
FIRST LOVE/WRONG NUMBER/YOU DIDN'T WANT ME/THERE'S A BLUE SKY WAY OUT YONDER/SEARCHING FOR YOU BUDDY/PRAIRIE/THINGS THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN/STARS OVER LAREDO/BUDDED ROSES/I'LL BE LOVIN' YOU THEN/CHANGE PARTNERS/JACK O'HEARTS.
This Singing Cowboy does not need another introduction. Here is a collection of 12 of his finest songs he did in the late 40's and early 50's.
A 467 Lonzo & Oscar-Honky Tonk Sweetheart = LP 5041 Mono A
HONKY TONK SWEETHEART/EXTRAVAGANT BABY/POPPIN' BUBBLE GUM/OLE MOTHER NATURE/WHEN YOU WERE SWEET SIXTEEN/SHE'S THE BEST I EVER SAW/LAST OLE DOLLAR/OLE BUTTERMILK SKY/WHO PULLED THE PLUG FROM THE JUG/I WONDER WHY SHE ALMOST DRIVES ME WILD/PRETTY LITTLE INDIAN MAID/TICKLE THE TOM CAT'S TAIL/MY DREAMS TURNED INTO A NIGHTMARE/I'LL GO CHASIN' WOMEN/HIGH HEELS.
The most popular country comedy act of the 40's is finally on an album with popular late 40's tracks with partially Chet Atkins on electric guitar plus a few items from the early 50's when Johnny Sullivan had just replaced first "Lonzo" Lloyd George "Ken Marvin". You will also hear Grand Ole Opry's famed "Cousin Jody" occasionally on steel guitar, and Dale Potter should be responsible for some great fiddle work. Great collection of straight and funny songs taken from 78 RPM's. Buy now - very limited edition!
A 468 Luke Simmons and his Blue Mountain Boys in 1960 = LP 5042 B
HEY BABY/WHEN THAT HARVEST MOON IS SHINING/OVER THE RANGE/DOWN WHERE THE MEADOWLARKS SING/DON'T PLAY THIS SONG/OPEN UP YOUR HEART/DRIFTING ON THE SEA OF LIFE/SUGAR PIE BABY/DEEP SEA JAMBOREE/RAINY DAY BLUES/CUP OF JOY/IT'S A LONG WAY BACK INTO YOUR HEART/WAITIN' ON A SIDING/DAYS THAT USED TO BE/HOBO JOE'S BOOGIE/WAITING AT THE GATE FOR KATIE.
Luke Simmons hails from Canada but lives in New Zealand for a long time now where he also cut the items of this LP. The sound is strictly early 50's. His emotional powerful voice and a wonderful Hawaiian steel guitar underline his beautiful country songs from the heart. Even if you don't know Luke you will certainly enjoy his music if you like an early Carl Smith, Porter Wagoner or Jimmy Work.
A 469 Carl Smith-Carl's Golden Country Era = LP 5043 B
ONEYMOON/I WON'T BE AT HOME/MR. MOON (original!!!)/IF YOU TRIED AS HARD TO LOVE ME (As You Have Tried To Break My Heart)/DON'T TEASE ME/DO I LIKE IT?/I'LL BE LIST'NING (with Carter Sisters & Mother Maybelle)/HOW ABOUT YOU (with Carter Sisters & Mother Maybelle)/TEN THOUSAND DRUMS/THAT'S THE WAY I LIKE YOU THE BEST/MR. LOST/YOU CAN'T HURT ME ANYMORE/I'VE CHANGED/IF YOU DO DEAR/WICKED LIES/BEFORE I MET YOU.
Many LPs have been issued by Carl but some of his early hits have never turned up on any LP. This is a collection of early to late 50's classics by Carl. Among lesser known but great songs you will finally find his original "Mr. Moon" hit version on this album, plus "Our Honeymoon" and "That's The Way I Like You The Best". Johnny Sibert (steel) and the rest of the Tunesmiths provide the usual remarkable Smith style. Even Carter Family fans may find two tracks on this disc interesting as these items are on LP for the first time.
A 470 Wilf Carter-Brown-Eyed Prairie Rose = LP 5044 C
WHEN THE SUN SAYS, "GOODNIGHT", TO THE PRAIRIE/COWBOY'S AIRPLANE RIDE (# 1)/ PETE KNIGHT'S LAST RIDE (# 1)/MY OLD MONTANA BLUES/MY BROWN-EYED PRAIRIE ROSE (# 1)/WHEN I BID THE PRAIRIE GOODBYE/I'LL MEET YOU AT THE ROUND-UP IN THE SPRING/WHAT A WONDERFUL MOTHER OF MINE/MY LITTLE SWISS AND ME/I LONG FOR OLD WYOMING/I'M A FOOL FOR FOOLIN' AROUND/ONE GOLDEN CURL (# 1)/WHEN I SAY HELLO TO THE ROCKIES (# 1)/MY ONLY ROMANCE IS MEMORIES OF YOU (# 1)/TOO MANY BLUES (# 1)/SINGING ON BORROWED TIME (# 1).
Another collection of cowboy songs from 1936 to 1947 in usual marvelous Montana Slim or Wilf Carter style. A gem! Very limited edition!
A 471 Wilf Carter-Dawn On The Prairie = LP 5045 C
MY LULU (# 1)/IF YOU DON'T REALLY CARE/THAT FIRST LOVE OF MINE/IT'S ALL OVER NOW (I Won't Worry) (# 1)/IT IS LATER THAN YOU THINK/PUT MY LITTLE SHOES AWAY (# 1)/MEMORIES OF MY LITTLE GREY HAIRED MOTHER IN THE WEST (# 1)/DAWN ON THE PRAIRIE/I'M GONNA TEAR DOWN THE MAILBOX (# 1)/ 'NEATH A BLANKET OF STARS/MY WIFE IS ON A DIET/SICK, SOBER AND SORRY (# 1)/ WHEN IT'S TWILIGHT OVER TEXAS/THE COWBOY'S HEAVENLY DREAM/APPLE, CHERRY, MINCE AND CHOC'LATE CREAM (# 1)/TAKE IT EASY BLUES.
Yes, yet another album on ole Wilf. This time it's originals from 1936 to 1950. Once again: A gem. Buy now. Very limited edition!
A 477 Ted Daffan & his Texans - Born To Lose = LP 5051 B
BORN TO LOSE/NO LETTER TODAY/SHUT THAT GATE/BROKEN VOWS/LOOK WHO'S TALKIN'/ BLUEST BLUES/POOR LITTLE BAR FLY/GO ON-GO ON/TROUBLE KEEPS HANGIN' 'ROUND MY DOOR/BEYOND THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT/YOU BETTER CHANGE YOUR WAYS/BABY YOU CAN'T GET ME DOWN/TWO OF A KIND/JUST BORN THAT WAY/TIME WON'T HEAL MY BROKEN HEART/ YOU'RE BREAKING MY HEART.
"Born To Lose" and "No Letter Today" written by Ted Daffan as Frankie Brown is known to everyone who loves traditional country music. Although Ted's original versions of 1942, which are included in this new LP, made it big, Columbia never cared to issue a solo LP on Ted since the original metal mothers were lost. So it happens that almost 5 decades later finally an LP was compiled of remastered and restored tracks from the early to the late 1940's. Ted had one the most employed C & W dance band in and around Texas with lots of good vocalists like George Strange, Leon Seago, Chuck Keeshan, Buddy Kelly, Curley Voogen, "Idaho" or Dick James. That LP is a piece of C & W history and a must for every serious Country Music lover. Buy now! Very limited edition!
A 482 Rex Allen-Yodelin' Crazy = LP 5056 Mono = B
YODELIN' CRAZY/MY OLD ADOBE SHACK/QUEEN OF THE RODEO/STRAWBERRY ROAN/WHAT'CHA GONNA DO/TIMBER WINDS/MELLOW MOUNTAIN MOON/COWPUNCHER'S BLUES/HAPPY YODELIN' MAN/THE GIRL I LEFT BEHIND ME/HOME ON THE RANGE/DREAMING OF THE WESTERN PLAINS/WHEN THE TUMBLING WEEDS COME TUMBLING DOWN AGAIN/A COWBOY'S STORY/RIDIN' THE RANGE ON MY PINTO/I'LL GO RIDIN' DOWN THAT TEXAS TRAIL.
This is a wonderful collection of probably the most authentic Western song era of Rex that he put on records in the mid 40's before he signed up with Mercury Records. You can expect several fine yodel songs, excellent Western trio singing and steel guitar and fiddle accompaniment. A real gem!
A 486 Jimmie Skinner Sings Jimmie Rodgers = LP 5060 B
HOBO BILL'S LAST RIDE/MY ROUGH AND ROWDY WAYS/DEAR OLD SUNNY SOUTH BY THE SEA/JIMMIE THE KID/THE SOLDIER'S SWEETHEART/MY BLUE EYED JANE/MOONLIGHT AND SKIES/MISS THE MISSISSIPPI AND YOU/NEVER NO MO' BLUES/TUCK AWAY MY LONESOME BLUES/SOMEWHERE DOWN BELOW THE MASON-DIXON LINE/JIMMIE RODGERS' LAST BLUE YODEL (Women Make A Fool Out Of Me). Previously released as LP 8021.
There has hardly been a better Jimmie Rodgers tribute album than this one. Skinner uses a very fine Dobroist for the recordings that were cut for this album over 30 years ago. By now - very limited edition!
A 487 Tex Williams-Reno, Town Of Broken Hearts = LP 5061 A
RENO, TOWN OF BROKEN HEARTS/ARTICHOKES/THEY WERE DOING THE MAMBO/THAT'S THE GOOD LORD SAYIN' "GOOD MORNIN'"/ROSES AND REVOLVERS/OLD BETSY/PAULINE/BE SURE YOU'RE RIGHT (And Then Go Ahead)/MONEY/IF YOU'D BELIEVE IN ME/YOU'RE COLD, SO COLD/WHEN I CALL THE ROLL. Previously released as LP 8206.
The tracks on this LP are about a decade newer compared to LP 5027 and LP 5028. It's still the typical Tex Williams style although certain changes of the band personnel were made but it ain't a disadvantage. Limited edition!
A 488 Bob Atcher-Star Of The WLS National Barn Dance= LP 5062 A
WALK CHICKEN WALK/GUILTY CONSCIENCE/DON'T GIVE YOUR HEART (To Someone Else) (& Randy Atcher)/NEVER TRUST A WOMAN (& Randy Atcher)/LONG GONE BABY/ON ACCOUNT OF YOU/WASTED TEARS (& Randy Atcher)/IN MY HEART/HIGH AND DRY/TWO CAN PLAY YOUR GAME/YOU LOVE ME OR YOU DON'T (Make Up Your Mind)/DOWN WITH THE FEMININE GENDER/TIME WILL TELL (& Bonnie Blue Eyes)/OH DARLING (& Bonnie Blue Eyes)/I FOUND MY COWGIRL SWEETHEART/WHEN THE LOCUST IS IN BLOOM (& Bonnie Blue Eyes).
Only traditional cowboy song material was released on LP by Bob Atcher in the past, although he was basicially a country, honky tonk or western swing artist from the late 1930's to early 1950's. This LP gives you a good example of his various abilities. As usual: Very limited edition!
A 492 Charlie Gore-The Country Voice Of West Virginia = LP 5066 C
THE MOON WON'T TELL/I KNOW SOMETHIN'/IF I TOLD YOU, WOULD YOU BELIEVE ME/SHE JUST WALKED IN/DARK AS A DUNGEON/POST OFFICE/I'LL FIND SOMEBODY/I DIDN'T KNOW/COME BACK TO ME/I'M GOING TO LOCK YOU UP/TWO OF A KIND/SOMEBODY'S BEEN/EVERYTHING BUT A ONE MAN WOMAN.
Although this LP has been previoulsy released on the Danny label I think it was time it was re-released since there is a growing demand for highly underrated honky tonk country artists like him, Frankie Miller or Rocky Bill Ford. All three had an album out on the Audio label. However, these 13 tracks were takes from rare singles cut in the early and mid 50's with mostly steel and fiddle accompaniment. Jerry Byrd could be figured out as the steeler.
A 493 Mac Wiseman-Rare Singles And Radio Transcriptions= LP 5067 A
WABASH CANNONBALL/DRIFTWOOD ON THE RIVER/HOLD FAST TO THE RIGHT/YOU CAN'T JUDGE A BOOK (By Its Cover)/I SAW YOUR FACE IN THE MOON/I'M DRIFTING BACK TO DREAMLAND/CRAZY BLUES/LET ME BORROW YOUR HEART FOR JUST TONIGHT/SMILIN' THROUGH/GOIN' LIKE WILDFIRE/SHACKLES AND CHAINS/EACH RING OF THE HAMMER/THE PREACHER AND THE BEAR/WILDWOOD FLOWER. (MONO LP)
3 rare early 50's single tracks plus 11 late 50's transcription cuts are represented here on this re-issue LP release. Great performances. Very limited edition.
A 494 Tennesse Ernie Ford-Early Country Days Of The Late......= LP 5068 B
GOOFUS/HEY JOE/I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE TONIGHT/BLACKBERRY BOOGIE/I GOT STEAMHEAT/TENNESSEE LOCAL/CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO/RELEASE ME/ALLA EN EL RANCHO GRANDE/GAMBLER'S GUITAR/I DON'T KNOW/DON'T LET THE STARS GET IN YOUR EYES/YOU GOTTA SEE DADDY EVERY NIGHT/CATFISH BOOGIE/COTTON PICKIN' POLKA/ MY MARY:
This is a super collection of songs Ernie did for RadiOzark in 1954 with Speedy West on steel. Other well-known musicians are Billy Liebert, Harold Hensley and George Bruns. Don't miss this very limited re-issued gem! Ernie was in great condition when he recorded these basically up-tempo items.
A 495 Lulu Belle & Scotty-Sweethearts Of The Barn Dance =LP 5069 A
CAROLINA CABIN/BANJO SAM/GOOD OLD U.S.A./GREAT GRANDAD/I'M DYIN' FER SOMEONE TO LOVE/WE'LL WALK IN THE SUNSHINE/THE KICKING MULE/THE EMPTY CHRISTMAS STOCKING/WALK ME BY THE RIVER/THAT'S ONLY HALF IT/TRULY I LOVE YOU/EACH TIME YOU LEAVE/MY HEART CRIES FOR YOU/SHENANDOAH WALTZ/YOU'RE THE SWEETEST MISTAKE/THE NEW LOVE WALTZ.
This LP represents the WLS Chicago stars at their peak - late 40's/early 50's. Side A was compiled of very rare Republic studiowise recorded transcriptions backed by the Prairie Ramblers while Side B offers you original single tracks backed by standard studio musicians as steeler Jerry Byrd and probably Louie Innis (rhythm guitar) and The Turner Brothers (lead guitar and bass). The LP is really a gem for all of you oldtimey fans!
A 497 Hank Snow & Family - Sessions For "Uncle Sam" = LP 5071 C
ME AND MY FIDDLE (Inst.)/I'M MOVIN' ON/ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM (voc. Jimmie Rodgers & Carol Lee Snow)/I DON'T HURT ANYMORE/BORN TO LOSE/I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE TONIGHT/LOVE'S CALL FROM THE MOUNTAIN/BRAND ON MY HEART/DOGGONE THAT TRAIN/TANGLED MIND/A PETAL FROM A FADED ROSE/I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE TONIGHT.
These rare tracks come from transcriptions with applause recorded in the 1950's, some with Roy Wiggins on steel guitar and Grady Martin on electric guitar. Basically the Rainbow Ranch Boys are responsible for the usual great Hank Snow sound.
A 498 Eddy Arnold-Strictly Hillbilly Style = LP 5072 B
CATTLE CALL (# 1)/WHAT A FOOL I WAS/BRING YOUR ROSES TO HER NOW/I WISH I HAD A GIRL LIKE YOU, MOTHER/A FULL TIME JOB/SHEPHERD OF MY HEART/M-O-T-H-E-R (A Word That Means The World To Me)/FREE HOME DEMONSTRATION/THE LILY OF THE VALLEY/ HEART STRINGS/SOMEBODY'S BEEN BEATIN' MY TIME/OLDER AND BOLDER/BE SURE THERE'S NO MISTAKE/WHAT IS LIFE WITHOUT LOVE/YOU MUST WALK THE LINE/EACH MINUTE SEEMS A MILLION YEARS.
Finally here is a jewel for fans of the early Hillbilly Arnold. All tracks were recorded from 1944 to 1953. Little Roy Wiggins provides the steel guitar accompaniment on many tracks, plus there is fiddle audible on several tracks, too. The "CATTLE CALL" is Eddy's very first but almost forgotten version.
A 601 Rod Morris & his Missourians-The Original "Bimbo"= LP 5075 B
BIMBO/HEY MR. MOCKINGBIRD/EVERYTHING TO LOSE, NOTHING TO GAIN/CRY BABY BLUES/ HONEY, HONEY, HONEY/FREE, WISE AND 21/NOBODY HOME/THREE EMPTY BOTTLES/BIMBO NO.2/WHEN IT RAINS BANANA PEELIN'S/IS THERE ANYMORE AT HOME LIKE YOU/I'M NOT A KID ANYMORE/DON'T PUT OFF UNTIL TOMORROW (What You Can Do Today)/COLD, COLD CORNBREAD/THAT'S NATURE/NOBODY KNOWS GRANDPA LIKE GRANDMA.
Rod Morris was one of the highly underrated early 50s hard country sound talents. He had a great Hillbilly voice, a great group and a fine backing with steel guitar and fiddle in the Hank Williams style. "Bimbo" has proven that he was an excellent songwriter, too. Don't miss this collection of 1951 to 1954!
A 602 Doye O'Dell-The Original Bath Tub Blues = LP 5076 B
BATH TUB BLUES/I'M NOT FOOLIN' NOW/DEAR OKIE/LOOKIN' POOR, BUT FEELIN' RICH/IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE NOW/ACCORDING TO THE EVIDENCE/MY MARY/SAN ANTONIO ROSE/YOU'RE THE ONLY STAR IN MY BLUE HEAVEN/PRETTY WOMAN FOR THE BOSS/BOW YOUR HEAD AND PRAY/OKLAHOMA HILLS/OLD SHEP/IT WON'T BE TEXAS TO YOU/LEFT MY GAL IN THE MOUNTAINS/RED RIVER VALLEY.
A genuine cowboy was Doye from Texas - not only in movies. Because of his movie fame Exclusive Records hired him in 1947 for their first artist, and the first 4 tracks on this LP are from that period. None other than his friend Texas Jim Lewis helped with the great western swing backing. The remaining 12 tracks is a complete reproduction of the rare ERA LP Doye recorded with the vocal Western group "The Cass County Boys" in 1956.
A 603 Billy Walker-The Hillbilly Side Of Billy Walker = LP 5077 B
HEY!/LET ME HEAR FROM YOU/THE ONE YOU HURT/I HAD A DREAM/DON'T TELL A SOUL I LOVE YOU/MILLIE MY DARLING/FOOL THAT I AM (I Still Love You)/THE RECORD/I DIDN'T HAVE THE NERVE IT TOOK TO GO/TIME WILL TELL ALL/I'M LOOKING FOR LOVE/ DON'T LET YOUR PRIDE BREAK YOU HEART/BACK STREET AFFAIR/YOU'RE THE ONLY GOOD THING (That's Happened To Me)/MEXICAN JOE/IF I SHOULD LIVE THAT LONG.
Like it was with Eddy Arnold not much was re-issued of Billy's Hillbilly recordings although both artists won't have to be ashamed of their Hillbilly era. Billy's recordings sound as good as those of Lefty Frizzell, Carl Smith or Marty Robbins of the early 50s as basically the same studio musicians were used at the time when the recordings for this album were made. All recordings were cut after Billy Walker left Leon McAuliffe's band to start a career on his own. To those who don't know Billy's Hillbilly side this LP is certainly a pleasant surprise.
A 605 Denver Darling-The Illinois Cowboy = LP 5079 A
ROSALITA/WHEN MUSSOLINI LAID HIS PISTOL DOWN/SHE NEVER SAID A WORD/MODERN CANNON BALL/CARE OF UNCLE SAM/SEND THIS PURPLE HEART TO MY SWEETHEART/ MUSSOLINI'S LETTER TO HITLER/HITLER'S REPLY TO MUSSOLINI/NO, THANKS/MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO MAKE UP WITH ME/MY LITTLE BUCKEROO/I WAS DREAMING SOMEONE ELSE'S DREAM/WHEN I GETS TO WHERE I'M GOIN'/EASTER SUNDAY ON THE PRAIRIE/CONVERSION (Look God I Have Never Spoken To You)/THE HONEY SONG (Honey I'm In Love With You).
The tracks on this LP were recorded from 1942 to 1947. They are all for the first time on LP. There has been one LP released by Denver on AUDIO LAB. This LP is certainly better from the musical point of view, although the World War II songs are rather somewhat primitive what the message of songs is concerned. However, it is interesting LP from the historical point of view.
A 614 Slim Willet-Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes Vol. 1 LP 8213 C
DON'T LET THE STARS GET IN YOUR EYES (vocal version)/TELL ME NOW/MATA HARI/LOVE ME BABY/STARLIGHT WALTZ/DON'T LAUGH AT ME NOW/MY LOVE TO YOU/LET ME KNOW/THE LONELY TIDE/WHEN LOVERS GO BY/THE RED ROSE/IF WINTER COMES.
A 615 Slim Willet-Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes Vol. 2 LP 8214 C
DON'T LET THE STARS GET IN YOUR EYES (inst. version)/LEAVE ME ALONE NOW/LIVE WHILE YOU'RE YOUNG (Dream When You're Old)/HUNGRY SLIM (Inst.)/LIVE AS IF YOU KNEW/WILL THERE BE ANY STARS IN MY CROWN/VILLA CUNA (Inst.)/LITTLE BLUEBIRD KEEPS SINGING/IT'S HARD TO LOVE JUST ONE/DON'T WASTE YOUR HEART/SHIBUYA/HADACOL CORNERS.
Both LPs have been previously released under these numbers and with same cover. Vol. 1 is a complete re-issue of his rare Audio Lab LP, the other items were recorded about the same time, but they were taken from singles. You can expect a great honky tonk voice, steel guitar, fiddle and piano accompaniment. Slim wrote Skeets McDonald's biggest hit "Don't Let The Stars..", but had recorded two remarkable versions himself. He was star of "The Big "D" Jamboree", "The Louisiana Hayride", "The Grand Ole Opry" etc., so what else is there to say?
A 618 The Sons of the Pioneers & Friends-In The Studio = LP 5088 A
Sons of The Pioneers: ONE MORE RIVER TO CROSS/I HANG MY HEAD AND CRY/Roy Rogers: NEW WORRIED MIND/MELODY OF THE PLAINS/DANGEROUS GROUND/I'M RESTLESS/ Farr Brothers (instrumentals): FARR-AWAY BLUES/SOUTH IN MY SOUL/FARR BROTHERS STOMP/TEXAS SKIPAROO/Bob Nolan: TUMBLING TUMBLEWEEDS (solo version)/MANHUNT (Dragnet Closing In On Me)/AN ANGEL IN THE CHOIR/THE MYSTERY OF HIS WAY/Gene Autry with Pioneers band: AS LONG AS I GOT MY HORSE/THE DUDE RANCH COWHANDS.
All items commercially recorded from 1937 to 1953. Probably none of the tracks appears on any other LP, thus a valuable addition to your collection!
A 622 Little Jimmy Dickens-Star Of The Grand Ole Opry = LP 5092 C
WHEN THEY GET TOO ROUGH (They're Just Right For Me)/THEN I HAD TO TURN AROUND AND GET MARRIED/F-O-O-L-I-S-H M-E ME/POOR LITTLE DARLIN'/I'M FADIN' FAST WITH THE TIME/LOVE SONG OF THE BAYOU/YOU BETTER NOT DO THAT/CLOSING TIME/THE SIGN ON THE HIGHWAY/THEY DON'T KNOW NOTHING AT ALL/TAKE ME AS I AM (Or Let Me Go)/ BLACKEYED JOE'S/STINKY PASS THE HAT AROUND/CONSCIENCE (Set Me Free)/YOU DON'T HAVE LOVE AT ALL/WHEN THAT LOVE BUG BITES YOU (He'll Keep Gnawin', Gnawin', Gnawin').
He's little but loud and has a great country voice, too. You won't miss steel guitars and fiddles and countryfied song material that was recorded from the early to mid 50s. The tracks belong to his rarest but finest!
A 624 Short Brothers-Guys Who Created The E.T. Sound=LP 5094 A
DON'T YOU CRY OVER ME/WHEN IT'S ROUNDUP TIME IN HEAVEN/ONLY A DREAM/ALWAYS ALONE/DON'T BE BLUE/LONESOME FOR YOU ANNABELLE/MY SWEETHEART OF YESTERDAY/LONG AFTER YOU'VE FORGOTTEN/THAT'S JUST THE PLACE FOR ME/I WONDER/WHEN IT'S APPLE BLOSSOM TIME/I'M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU/THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE/SUNDOWN AND SORROW/OUT ON THE NEW FRONTIER/I'LL BE TRUE TO THE ONE THAT I LOVE.
The Short Brothers catapulted Ernest Tubb into the charts with their unique sound in the early 40s ("Walkin' The Floor Over You", "Try Me One More More Time" etc.). They even recorded items in the same sound with themselves as vocalists. It's certainly a great interesting oldtimey LP (1944-45).
A 626 Jenks "Tex" Carman - Sunny Tennessee = LP 5096 A
SUNNY TENNESSEE/NEW WAIKIKI BEACH/HILLBILLY HULA (No. 1)/END OF THE WORLD/I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT I DO/WRECK OF THE OLD 97 (No. 1)/HILO MARCH (No. 1)/THE ARTILLERY SONG/CHAIN GANG/FIREBALL MAIL/KAHILA MARCH/MOONLIGHT AND MEMORIES/TO NOT BE LOVED/MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BLUES.
"The Dixie Cowboy" was a trademark in the California area around 1950. He made his guitar sound in the Hawaiian style and his repertoire is often a mix of Hawaiian and Hillbilly Music, which is a unique sound, indeed. These are 14 of his very first items that have been previously released for 4 Star Records in the late 1940s. Numerous items were later re-recorded for Capitol, Sage and other labels, but here you have the originals in fine MONO sound.... and on vinyl!
A 629 Terry Fell - The Original "Truck Driving Man" = LP 5099 B
TRUCK DRIVING MAN/DON'T DROP IT/OVER AND OVER/IF I DIDN'T HAVE YOU/I'M HOT TO TROT/FA-SO-LA/LET'S STAY TOGETHER TILL AFTER CHRISTMAS/WE WANNA SEE SANTA DO THE MAMBO/YOU DON'T GIVE A HANG ABOUT ME/DON'T DO IT JOE/YESTERDAY/DREAMER'S PARADISE/PAPER HEART/YOU DON'T WANT ME ANYMORE/I CAN HEAR YOU CLUCKING (No. 1) /FIREBALL BOOGIE (Inst.).
Little is known about the guy who had the first big hit with a "Truck Driver Song" in 1954. The 16 tracks on this LP contain some of his finest and rarest items he recorded from 1946 to 1956. Musicians like Speedy West, Bud Isaacs, Jimmy Day, Dale Potter, Tommy Jackson, Chet Atkins, Jimmy Selph and others played the recording sessions, so it must be a great LP.
A 634 "Big Bill" Lister - Countryfied = LP 5104 A
COUNTRYFIED/THE LITTLE HOUSE WE BUILT (Just O'er The Hill)/SHIP OF LOVE/ALL I WANT IS TO HEAR YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME/BEER DRINKING BLUES/R C COLA AND MOON PIE/ THERE'S A TEAR IN MY BEER/A NICKEL FOR A DOZEN ROSES/ONE MORE BEER (Then I'm Goin' Home)/WHAT THE HECK IS GOIN' ON/EVERY TEAR I CRY/IN THE SHADOW OF THE PINE/BLOWING THE SUDS OFF MY BEER/THERE'S ANOTHER IN YOUR HEART.
The title of the album tells you what you can expect. Bill was a good buddy of Hank Williams and even toured with him. Good honky tonk country sound with fiddle and steelguitar and a powerful Hillbilly voice make this LP a must for every Hank Williams fan. Please note, that the first two tracks on this list were written by Hank, but only recorded by Bill, thus another reason for a purchase.
A 636 Charlie Walker - Greatest Early Country Hits = LP 5106 A
ONLY YOU, ONLY YOU/I'M NOT MIXED UP ANYMORE/NO SORROW TONIGHT/DANCING MEXICAN BOY/GENTLE LOVE/BY RIGHTS YOU BELONG TO ME/OUT OF MY ARMS/I'LL CATCH YOU WHEN YOU FALL/PICK ME UP ON YOUR WAY DOWN (# 1)/I GO ANYWHERE/RIGHT BACK AT YOUR DOOR/I WALKED OUT OF HEAVEN (When I Walked Out On You)/I DON'T MIND SAYING/FACING THE WALL/TWO EMPTY ARMS/A WAY TO FREE MYSELF.
The tracks on this LP were recorded from about 1950 to the early 1960's with plenty of fiddle and steelguitar backing. Tommy Jackson is one of the musicians who could be identified. It seems that Charlie's first or one of his first singles is included, although Charlie is certainly audible on several records with Bill Boyd's Cowboy Ramblers of 1943. Honky Tonk Country at its best!!
A 637 Red Foley - Hot Toddy = LP 5107 A
HOT TODDY/COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO/SUGAR FOOT SQUARE DANCE/TENNESSEE WHISTLING MAN/ GILES COUNTY, PULASKI POST OFFICE/TENNESSEE HILL-BILLY GHOST/IT MAKES NO NEVER MIND/MONTANA MOON/SMOKE ON THE WATER NO.2/ALABAMA JUBILEE/SLAVES OF A HOPELESS LOVE AFFAIR/BLUE LETTER/I'M SORRY WE MET/TREASURE UNTOLD/WALKIN' IN THE COLD, COLD RAIN/LOOKING GLASS.
Original commercial recordings from 1941 to 1954. 14 songs are from the 50s, so this album not only includes slow country ballads, but also some real hot country boogies. Foley, now deceased for 25 years, always employed top musicians like Grady Martin, Tommy Jackson or Bud Isaacs. A must for every collector of historical vinyl country records. Limited edition!
A 638 Jean Shepard - Mrs. Country Music = LP 5108 A
FOR THE CHILDREN'S SAKE/LONELY LITTLE WORLD/JEOPARDY/BETTER LOVE NEXT TIME/ I'LL TAKE THE BLAME/HAVE HEART, WILL LOVE/HE'S MY BABY/SECRET OF LIFE/HE PLAYS THE BONGO (I Play The Banjo)/THAT'S WHAT LONESOME IS/I DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR LOVING YOU/ANOTHER/I LOST YOU AFTER ALL/ARE YOU CERTAIN?/CIGARETTES AND COFFEE BLUES/BILLY CHRISTIAN. All items recorded from 1958 to ca. 1964.
Jean Shepard, now about 60 years of age, is still active on stages and has still a great voice. On this LP she was still at her peak what her record success was concerned. Most of the tracks have been released on singles only!
A 639 Jimmie Skinner - The Late And Great = LP 5109 B
DON'T GIVE YOUR HEART TO A RAMBLER (#1)/BLAME THE RIGHT ONE/JOHN HENRY AND THE WATER BOY/WHAT A PLEASURE/I DON'T NEED A DOCTOR/BEAUTIFUL/I'M ALLERGIC TO YOUR KISSES/TOO HOT TO HANDLE/MY BROKEN HEART IS STARTIN' NOW/DON'T GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE/BABY I COULD CHANGE MY WAYS/JESUS LOVES US ALL/DIME A DOZEN (That's What You Are)/(My Heart's) On A Budget/IF THERE WAS NO YOU/I'M A REGULAR DADDY. Late 1940s to 1956.
Usual great typical Skinner sound with Ray Lunsford on Mandolin. Two rare singles is included. Great country sound!
A 641 Skeeter Bonn - Star Of The Wheeling Jamboree= LP 5111 C
THE YODELING BIRD/SOMEBODY NEW/MY BABY DOLL/MY SON, MY SON/PLAY A WAITING GAME/LIFE WITHOUT YOU (Won't Be The Same)/YODELING MAN/SECOND CHOICE/LOVE CALL/CHAINED/THERE'S NO USE NOW/ROCK-A-BYE BABY/HONEY BABY/I'VE BEEN DOWN THAT ROAD BEFORE/NUMBER ONE IN YOUR HEART/CONSCIENCE (Set Me Free).
To those who missed Castle LP 8110 this is a good chance buying a copy of a wonderful Hillbilly album by a yodel talent who is hardly remembered nowadays. The material comes from commercial singles recorded from ca. 1952 to 1955.
A 642 Neal Burris - Genuine Hillbilly Songs = LP 5112 C
PLEASE EXCUSE MY MANNERS/LIFE'S BEEN SO BEAUTIFUL/LONELY LITTLE ROBIN/THE SISSY SONG/POPCORN/GEORGIA ROSE/MY HEART NEEDS YOUR HEART/I BROKE A HEART (AND I'M SORRY)/THERE'S NO REASON/FOR YOU ALONE/WHAT DOES IT TAKE (To Make You Care)/RIVER OF LOVE/POISON KISSES/HONEY BABY BLUES/I BET MY HEART/THAT'S THE TIME FOR LOVE/DON'T GIVE ME KISSES/YOU'RE STEPPING OUT (To Be With Me).
The is a re-issue of the rare Mountain Laurel LP 7505 which includes tracks from King and Columbia cut during 1951 thru 1953. Neal has a great Hillbilly voice and uses basically fiddle, steel, bass and guitar accompaniment. Neal was formerly vocalist of Pee Wee King's Golden West Cowboys. Highly recommend!
A 643 Jenks "Tex" Carman - The Redskin Cowboy = LP 5113 B
AUNGALALA (Inst.)/INDIAN LOVE SONG/MY BROKEN HEART WON'T LET ME SLEEP/YOU'LL COME CRAWLIN' BACK/THEY HAD TO SAY GOODBYE/FIRE IN THE TEEPEE (Inst.)/CUSTER'S MASSACRE/LITTLE BLACK JACK DAVEY/KRISH-A-BOOM-BA/WALKING AND CRYING FOR YOU/BAMBOO LOVE/LOCUST HILL RAG (No. 4).
Reissue of rare Danny JC 7901. Usual unique guitar sound and unique country voice by that Cherokee Cowboy. All items were taken from 45 RPM singles that were originally issued over 25 years ago. Limited edtion, of course!
A 644 Cowboy Copas - A Heartbreak Ago = LP 5114 B
A HEARTBREAK AGO/WILL YOU FORGET/STEPPIN' OUT/IF WISHES WERE HORSES/LOOK WHAT I GOT/A WREATH ON THE DOOR OF MY HEART/WHERE YOU GOIN'/OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR/I CAN'T GO ON/BLUES IN THE MOONLIGHT/AN OLD MAN'S STORY/I'M SO BLUE, I COULD CRY, FEELING LOW/SOLD THE FARM/YOU'LL NEVER EVER SEE ME CRY (& vocal with Cathy Copas).
The LP contains country ballads from 1947 to ca. 1962 not available on other LPs. Of course, great items with sometimes Jerry Byrd on steelguitar. Copas passed away 20 yrs. ago.
A 646 Riley Crabtree - Love Song Of The Hills = LP 5116 A
SHACKLES AND CHAINS/YOU HAD TO STRAY/I ALWAYS PLAY A LOSING HAND/YOU'RE WASTIN' YOUR TIME/LOVE SONG OF THE HILLS/IF I HAD SOMEONE TO CALL MY VERY OWN/WHEN THIS WORLD CHANGES HANDS/LET ME WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY/ALWAYS TOGETHER (Never Apart)/MAYBE IT'S YOU OR MAYBE IT'S ME/I STOOD AND WATCHED YOUR LOVE GROW COLD/I LIVE WITH MEMORIES (That Bless And Burn)/A HANDFUL OF NICKELS/YOU'RE BREAKING MY HEART DEAR/WHY, DARLING, WHY/GUN FIGHTIN' MARSHAL.
The recordings on this LP go back until the late 1940s and were basically recorded at Jim Beck's Studio in Dallas, probably with similar personnel as used for the Lefty Frizzell sessions back then. It's genuine country music with plenty of fiddle and steelguitar accompaniment. Riley's voice sounds like a blend of T Texas Tyler and Lefty Frizzell, but he does not imitate any of them. Star Talent, Columbia and C and W singles were remastered for the LP!
A 648 Wally Fowler-Early Days with the Georgia Clodhoppers=LP 5118 A
EMPTY ARMS AND A HEART FULL OF SORROW/WHEN MY DREAMS COME TRUE/WASTIN' MY TIME ON YOU/I'LL BE WAITIN' AT THE GATE/IT'S TOO LATE FOR TEARS/UNLOCK THE DOOR/SAY YOU'LL BE MINE/OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS/PROPAGANDA PAPA/MOTHER'S PRAYER/JUST THIRTEEN STEPS AWAY/YOU CAN'T CONCEAL A BROKEN HEART/MISSOURI/MOMMY PLEASE STAY HOME WITH ME/IT'S BEEN SO LONG DARLING/TEXAS HOME.
Before Wally Fowler totally switched to religious country music he had a five piece band in the 40s called "The Georgia Clodhoppers", which included the young Chet Atkins. Merle Travis or Jimmy Wakely recorded in about the same style back then. On the recordings basically Porky Freeman was used on the electric guitar and Jerry Byrd several times on steel. Great material from the mid to late 1940s.
A 650 Jimmie Heap - The Early Hillbilly Years = LP 5120 A
THAT'S THAT/TILL DEATH DO YOU PART/BUTTER BALL BOUNCE (Steel Inst.)/DROP IN THE BUCKET/EASY WAY OUT/IF TOMORROW COULD BE YESTERDAY/SUNSET SENDS SORROW/I HOPE YOU'RE SATISFIED/SOMEBODY'S BLUE/MORE THAN FRIENDS/IF MAMA WAS HERE/A MILLION TEARS/IT'S ONE THING TO FORGIVE ANOTHER TO FORGET/DON'T STEAL MY DREAMS/HONK YOUR HORN/CARBON COPY.
This is a fine collection of the late Jimmie's Imperial period from 1949-1951 with Cecil Harris (steel), Perk Williams fiddle/vocal and other names that were still employed when they signed up with Capitol. You can expect slow country ballads as well as rhythmic western swing of high quality!
A 651 Karl & Harty - Their Early Mountain Favorites = LP 5121 A
CHEATIN' WOMEN/PRETTY THING (trans. version)/TRUE LOVE (trans. version)/BLONDES, BRUNETTES AND REDHEADS/AWAY FROM YOU/RENO BOUND/THE AUTOMOBILE OF LIFE/YOU COOKED YOUR GOOSE WITH ME/WALTZ OF THE WIND/THAT PRETTY LITTLE FACE/THE B-I-B-L-E/SWEETEST MOTHER/A SONG FOR MOTHER/PRETTY THING (comm. version)/TRUE LOVE (comm. version)/LOOK WHAT THOSE BLUE EYES DID TO ME.
Karl & Harty belonged to the better known singing duos in the 40s along with the Blue Sky Boys or The Delmore Brothers. Excellent guitar and mandolin accompaniment and close harmony singing. Rare Capitol commercial and transcriptional cuts recorded in the late 1940s.
A 654 Alonzo "Ditto" Marsh - Canada's "Radio Ranger" = LP 5124 D
I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE LONESOME/MY OLD BROWN COAT AND ME/MOLLY BOND/AN OLD CASTLE IN SCOTLAND/LITTLE DARLIN' I'M HERE IN KOREA/CHAINED TO A MEMORY/AT OUR TRAINING CAMP ONE MORNING/A MILLION MILES FROM YOUR HEART/FOR THIS LOCK THERE IS NO KEY/SEVEN YEARS I LOVED A SAILOR/KEEP IT WRAPPED IN YOUR HEART/I WANT A PARDON FOR DADDY.
The late Alonzo has one golden Canadian throat. Although signed to a major label like APEX he never made it for one reason or another. It must also be noted that his records are that rare these days that collectors had mainly only tapes of this material which were provided for this LP. Alonzo sings to his guitar, but steelguitar is occasionally heard as well. Early 50s material!
A 661 Billy Strange - Country Vocals = LP 5131 B
THE DEVIL IN ME/CATSUP AND HONEY/A LONESOME LOVER'S LIE/LET ME BE THE ONE/AM I SEEING THINGS/I'M STILL A PRISONER/I'LL NEVER CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT YOU/LET ME IN THERE BABY/DIESEL SMOKE, DANGEROUS CURVES/THE ALMANAC SONG/HALF A PHOTOGRAPH/RED/JUST BUMMIN' AROUND/NEW CARROLL COUNTY BLUES/I LOVE YOU TWENTY-FOUR HOURS A DAY/HELL TRAIN. (early to mid 50s!).
Like Cliffie Stone guitarist Billy Strange is almost unknown as a vocalist, although he was one fine singer. He even appeared with Cliffie as well as Spade Cooley, Tennessee Ernie and many others, and with musicians like Harold Hensley, Speedy West & Jimmy Bryant it just has to be a super LP and it will also remind you a lot of the Cliffie Stone LP that was recently released.
A 662 The Sons Of The Pioneers - Lucky U Ranch Days (1952)=LP 5132 B
LITTLE ROCK GETAWAY/FALLING LEAF/RAMONA/WEDDING DOLLS/I TOLD ALL ABOUT YOU/ STAR OF HOPE/I'LL TAKE YOU HOME AGAIN KATHLEEN/COOL WATER/A COWBOY HAS TO SING/BLUES FOR DIXIE/RIDIN' HOME/CHURCH MUSIC/DON JUAN/ROLLIN' DUST/AT THE RAINBOW'S END/THAT PIONEER MOTHER OF MINE.
A 663 Various Artists - Country Oldies For Vinyl Fans Vol. 1=LP 5133 D
Roy Hogsed: DAISY MAE/RED SILK STOCKINGS AND GREEN PERFUME/Texas Bill Strength: NICE TO BE LIVING/NOBODY KNOWS THIS MORE THAN ME/Rex Allen: PEDRO GONZALES TENNESSEE LOPEZ/THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE JUKEBOX PLAY/Buddy Thompson: POINT OF NO RETURN/FOOL THAT I AM/Lee Bonds: From All Angles/Done Gone Crazy/ Kenny Roberts: BROKEN TEEN-AGE HEART/I'M LOOKING FOR THE BULLY OF THE TOWN/ Terry Fell: PLEASE MY DARLING THINK OF ME/YOU'RE TEARING MY POOR PAPER HEART/ Sonny James: THE TABLE NEXT TO MINE/BELIEVE ANOTHER'S LIPS.
If you are looking for great rare material by better and lesser known talent with plenty of steel and fiddle accompaniment then this is an LP for you. All items were recorded from the late 40s to mid 50s.
A 664 Charlie Adams - Great Country Songs From The 1950s=LP 5134 A
TT BOOGIE/BEFORE YOU SAY I DO/IF A BEER BOTTLE HAD A NIPPLE ON IT (I'd Be A Baby All My Life)/YOU'RE GETTING TOO OLD/I LOST AN ANGEL/WITHOUT YOU I'M LOST/ WALTZING WITH SIN/GEE, BUT IT'S DRY IN TEXAS/YOU'VE WOUNDED THE HEART/I'LL TICKLE YOUR TOESES/I'M GONNA PUT MY FOOT DOWN/I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU PRETTY BABY/ STOP YOUR BAWLING BABY/GIVE ME BACK MY KISSES/WILL YOU LOVE ME WHEN I'M OLD/HEY, LIBERACE!
1951-1954 was the period when these great country songs were cut with steel guitar and fiddle accompaniment. Obviously, most of the tracks were recorded in Texas at Jim Beck's studio, where not only Lefty Frizzell cut his biggest early hits. Charlie is one of the many talents which was overlooked!
A 667 Benny Martin - Star Of The Grand Ole Opry = LP 5137 A
I'M RIGHT AND YOU'RE WRONG/WHO PUT THOSE TEARS IN MY EYES/THE THIRTEENTH OF MAY/TRYIN' TO CHASE THESE BLUES AWAY/YOU KNOW THAT I KNOW/YES, IT'S TRUE/ (Little Darlin') GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE/YOU'RE GUILTY DARLING/ICE COLD LOVE (# 1)/THAT'S WHAT I'LL DO TO YOU/IF I DIDN'T HAVE A CONSCIENCE/TAKE MY WORD/ THE LOVER OF THE TOWN/WHIPPOORWILL/TRUE CHRISTMAS/BORDER BABY.
Benny Martin is not only the master of the 8-string fiddle, he is also one great country singer, which he testifies on these 16 tracks from the early to late 1950s. Two tracks were recorded with Hank Williams' Drifting Cowboys and one can also note Little Roy Wiggins (steel) on several tracks. For people who like powerful country songs from the heart and great steelguitar and fiddle work this colorful LP in double sense is an absolute must!
A 669 The Classic Johnny Bond (1947-1957) = LP 5139 A

A 670 The Many Faces Of Vernon Dalhart = LP 5140 B

Vernon Dalhart was one of the commercial pioneers in country music. The songs on this album come from the 1920's when he was at his peak. He recorded in a variety of styles and used a lot of different names as singer and songwriter, even different ones on a 2-sided single. However, these early roots belong to every serious collector's household.
A 671 Orval Prophet - The Traveling Snowman = LP 5141 B
THE TRAVELING SNOWMAN/GOODBYE, KATIE, BAR THE DOOR/WILDFIRE/I'M GONNA SINK YOUR BOAT/TEARS ON HER BRIDAL BOUQUET/JUDGEMENT DAY EXPRESS/I'M GOIN' BACK TO BIRMINGHAM/THE TRAVELIN' KIND/ANOTHER DAY/FORGET ME NOT/DON'T TRADE YOUR LOVE FOR GOLD/CROWN OF THORNS/MOLLY DARLING/ACRES OF HEARTACHES/MY LOIS AND ME/RUN RUN RUN.
Orval Prophet (also known as Rex Prophet and Johnny Six) never attained such fame as his fellow Canadian Hank Snow. His voice is at least as great as Hank's. 10 tracks were cut in 1951 and 2 in 1953 with such great musicians as Don Helms, Tommy Jackson, Hank Garland and Grady Martin. Some later items of the early 60s are also included. A great LP in a very limited edition!
A 673 Luke Simmons - Hobo Joe's Boogie = LP 5143 A
DON'T JUST STAND THERE/HOBO JOE'S BOOGIE (can.version)/I'M TIRED/THE DAYS THAT USED TO BE (can.version)/WABASH CANNONBALL/THROW A LITTLE LOVE MY WAY/NEVER NO MORE, ANYTIME/HEARTBROKEN/HIGH BIRD ON THE TOTEM POLE/UNEMPLOYMENT BLUES/ FRAZER RIVER VALLEY BLUES/ANNIVERSARY OF MY BROKEN HEART/DOWN IN QUEBEC/TOO BLIND TO SEE/STONEY MOUNTAIN BLUES/ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL.
The first track was recorded in New Zealand in 1953, all others in 1957 in Canada. All items are extremely rare and mostly fantastic up tempo numbers. Although "Wabash..." and "Orange..." are standard numbers it should be noted that you will hardly ever heard greater versions. Great voice, great fiddle work and a rhythm that will get one excited - a must for all you collectors!
A 677 Jimmie Davis - Fifteen Miles From Dallas = LP 5147 A
BAYOU PON PON/FIFTEEN MILES FROM DALLAS/COLINDA/WHEN THE TRAINS COMES ROLLIN' IN (# 1)/IN THE WEST WHERE LIFE IS FREE/ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR/THE GREATEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE/THAT'S WHY I'M NOBODY'S DARLING/WHEN THE TRAIN COMES ROLLIN' IN (# 2)/AS LONG AS YOU BELIEVE IN ME (Little Darlin')/WHITE PETALS FROM A ROSE/THERE'S A SMILE ON THE FACE OF THE MOON TONIGHT/I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU/BANG BANG/I'M SORRY IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU FEEL/ GRIEVIN' MY HEART OUT FOR YOU.
Eventually an LP of 40s and early 50s material is available with non-religious stuff. Fans have really been looking forward to such a release. You will also hear him with steel and fiddle accompaniment. Moon Mullican is of one the instrumentalists. Since the Sunshine Band is two times listed I could be taken for granted that the Sunshine Boys back him up, when Moon Mullican played piano for them. That's really an excellent collection you shouldn't miss!!!
A 678 Dude Martin & his Roundup Gang = LP 5148 A
BOOGIE WOOGIE COWBOY/MOSEY ON/LOVE TICKET/I'D LOVE A HOME (Out In The Mountain)/DON'T COME CRYIN' TO ME/SMOOTCH/I ALWAYS HAD A WAY WITH WOMEN/NEVADA WALTZ/MURDER ON THE RADIO/IT'S THE LATEST STYLE/ATOM BOMB BABY/WISHY-WASHY WOMAN/GIN RUMMY BOOGIE/TUCK ME TO SLEEP IN MY OLD 'TUCKY HOME/IT'S LONESOME OUT TONIGHT/I WAS SORTA WONDERIN'.
All of these songs were recorded around 1950. Dude's music is exactly in the style of Tex Williams and his voice is just that great, so it remains a mystery, why he didn't make it. It's a top LP for all Western swing and boogie fans. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
A 679 The Shelton Brothers (Bob & Joe)-Those Dusty Roads=LP 5149 A
ON THE HOOT-OWL TRAIL/WITH ANOTHER'S ARMS AROUND/MacDONALD'S STREAMLINED FARM/AURA LEE/MY GIRL FRIEND DOESN'T LIKE ME ANYMORE/SOMEDAY BABY/SHE GAVE IT ALL AWAY/(Aye Aye) ON MEXICO'S BEAUTIFUL SHORE/THOSE DUSTY ROADS/HALLELUJAH! I'M GONNA BE FREE AGAIN/I'M A HANDY MAN TO HAVE AROUND/I'LL BE SEEIN' YOU IN DALLAS, ALICE/DOGGONE CRAZY BLUES/OH MONAH/IF I EVER CRY AGAIN/WHEN THEY BAPTIZED SISTER LUCY LEE.

Eddie Hill was once the replacement for Jack Anglin, when Jack was in world war II service and also recorded numerous records with Johnnie & Jack from their beginning on Apollo Records to 1959 on RCA as bass baritone singer. He was never credited for it. Former WSM disc jockey also made numerous records as a solo singer and in a trio called The Eddie Hill Trio. Here is a collection of songs he recorded for various major labels from 1949 to 1956 - most of them with fiddle/steel accompaniment.

The items from the following section will leave my catalog probably soon. Please order before it's too late!

Foy Willing & his Riders Of The Purple Sage recorded these 16 commercial sides from the mid to late 1940s for different labels. This Western Trio reminds you of the Sons of the Pioneers, but their instrumentation is somewhat different. They used a steel guitar and an accordion often and sometimes a clarinet. They weren't that successful as the Pioneers, however, successful enough for getting some major label stuff released in Europe at their peak. People who have a weakness for Western Trio singing should have this great LP.
A 674 The Early Sunshine Boys (with Moon Mullican) = LP 5144 A
SHE'S A ROUNDER/GONNA GET TIGHT/WHO'S BEEN TENDIN' TO MY BUSINESS/WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH DEEP ELM/PIPE LINER BLUES/LAY ME DOWN BESIDE MY DARLING/IF YOU CARE FOR ME/I WASN'T BORN TO BE HAPPY/SITTIN' ON THE DOORSTEP/WHO'S GONNA CHOP MY BABY'S KINDLIN'/DON'T COME CRYING IN MY BEER/I'M CHECKING OUT/MONKEY BUSINESS/WHY DON'T YOU WRITE/OLD JOE CLARK/WORRIED MAN'S BLUES.
Around 1940 the Sunshine Boys had been one of the most popular string bands and included the young Moon Mullican on piano and as one of their vocalists. The Columbia and Okeh tracks on this LP were recorded in 1941, the PAN AMERICAN label items probably prior to that.
