Hello Cynthia,
I found Pal Brady had two more records on the Flint, Michigan Carl label from 1962: « Our album of love/How can I be best man » (# 1000), and « Heartaches on his hands/Who cries the most » (# 1002), the latter being reviewed by Billboard Oct. 13, 1962. That’s it for the time being!

Hi!
I have no clue or whereabouts on Palford Brady, only these words I published in an earlier feature on the Lucky label: « The last known release finds Pal Brady « Love (Is Just That Way ») / « When You’re Gone » (0013). A very superior Country Bopper that is quite close to being Rockabilly ; he cut the same two sides on Clix out of Troy, Michigan, and appeared on numerous labels in 60’s like Conteste, Bragg, Carl and Clark, sometimes using his full name of Palford Brady. » I posted « Love » in the podcasts, and you could find the flipside « When you’re gone » on an old Dutch Collector LP « The Lucky label ». Thats what all I know on Pal Brady! Thanks for visit and nice words.

Thanks for this. I live near the neighborhood described and never knew the story. I also used to live in Hamtramck, so I was really glad to hear that track. Love your blog!
