Hi! Here are my new favorites, be it Hillbilly bop, Bluegrass, Honky Tonk, Country rock-a-ballad, or even a bit of Western swing. CARL BUTLER was on Capitol, and cut mainly unclassifiable Hillbilly/Bluegrass sides. I’ve chosen his great “No Trespassing” from 1951, complete with hiccups and banjo/fiddle. Then to early Honky tonk with WEBB PIERCE. One of his very early sides on Decca (1951): “California Blues” (78 rpm – I will be moving soon, so already packed all my precious shellacs and can’t have a label scan). Back to Hillbilly bop with a fairly obscure artist, JACK HUNT (Capitol, 1953) and lazy vocal on “All I Can Do Is Sit Ad Cry”. A short insight into MERLE LINDSAY’s career. He fronted the Oklahoma scene from the mid-forties, and had numerous sides on many labels; here we hear “Mop Rag Boogie” (MGM). A nice Country Rockaballad from 1958 on the Sandy label out of Alabama by JOHNNY FOSTER “Locked Away From Your Heart” (# 1028). I love his sincere vocal. Finally a late 60s Hillbilly Bop by KED KILLEN (Western Ranch), “Hey Pretty Mama”. I don’t know an awful lot of him, except that his style dates from at least 15 years earlier. Couldn’t find his work except on a Cattle LP moons ago, or a Tom Sims Cassette. Enjoy the selections! Bye…

Just discovered your wonderful site. Great music – that I’ve mostly never heard before. Great information to help me appreciate and understand the music. And, my wife wonders what I can do to keep from being bored now that I am retired!
Thanks Jim for your nice words. Keep visiting, more to come! Xavier
Salut Xavier,
pour l’origine de l’enregistrement sans écho de Curtis Gordon “yo no sai”.
Jack Hunt (super) je connaissait même pas son nom.
mais il ne me semble pas que Merl Lindsay ai enregistré sous Merle Lindsay mais on ne sait jamais, vu le nombre d’erreurs de transcription de la production de disques.
Salut
André
