This is hillbilly boogie at its finest! nothing sounds finer than a 'milk Bucket Boogie'. (recorded 1st by Reece Shipley) Harry Adams is up early with the alarm clock and is in great form on this Kentucky Folk record out of Ohio! .......it has it all, great steel, guitar & fiddle and those humorous lyrics make this one mighty fine record!

Bobby Musgrrove
Kentucky Records # 584 - 1954
Dollar Sign Heart / Be Still My Heart.
In 1954 Kentucky released this lil' beauty by Bobby Musgrove , Born in 1932 . Dollar Sign Heart is nothing to get hot under the collar about, just a really good country Hillbilly mid tempo tune, plenty of steel and searing guitar work and some fine singing by Mr Musgrove. Bobby went on to sign to King Records and dropped the 'Mus' from his surname and was better known through the 60's in country and gospel circles as Bobby Grove.
Joe "Cannonball" Lewis .
Kentucky Records # 574 - 1953
Cold And Lonely Heart / You've Been Honky Tonkin'
Joe never fails to deliver with his records and with the B side he takes it up to 10 and beyond, slap bass, crazy lyrics, uptempo rhythm and searing steel and Lead guitar . This is just a magnificent record and should be right up there with the top hillbilly bop record of all time !
