The Tennessee Harmony Boys !


Dillard Anderson and Solon Maynard - The Tennessee Harmony Boys # 451.
Side A - I'm A Millionaire .
Side B - On The Cruel Tree.

 'Tennesee' on label (spelt incorrectly) should be 'Tennessee'.

This earlier version is different than the later 'Fortune Records' # 149 release (shown below)
Harmonica driven rural hick sacred gospel brilliance from The Tennessee Harmony Boys (Dillard & Solon), superb harmony vocals with guitars and a harmonica make this a truly rare and beautiful song.
The 'Fortune' release in 1951 ? is a re recording of the same song but is more Mandolin driven and is slightly more uptempo and bluegrass in style.

  2. Solon was my grandpa...he wrote that song! Love hearing his voice since he died when I was very young and don't have many memories of him!
