Chuck Bowers - Choice Record # 841 - 1955 Side A - Wandering Shoes. Side B - Pinball Boogie.
Pinball was all the rage in the mid 50's and Chuck and the boys quickly latched on to the craze and added a little boogie so what you get is some fantastic western swing played with love and joy . All the usual stuff here, steel, guitar and a boogie beat that means you gotta dance !
Roy Aldridge - Emperor Record # 209 - 1956. Side A - It's Not Easy To Forget. Side B - You're Pickin' Up The Pieces (Of My Heart) Wonderfully quirky uptempo country boogie released on the Emperor label out of Westbrook, Maine.Lenny Breau is on pickin' lead Guitar and this just bops along just nicely. Roy swings and is joined by some sweet and crazy fiddle and steel, this is top of the tree stuff and pretty rare on 78. Roy Aldridge: Vocals Lenny Breau: Lead Guitar Harold Carter: Bass Dick Curless: Acoustic Guitar Curly Eyles: Steel Guitar Dave Miller: Fiddle Unidentified: Drums
Mel Price and his Santa Fe Rangers. Blue Hen Record # 3006 - 1954. Side A - I Know That I've Lost You. Side B - Nothing Seems To Go Right Anymore.
Just a cracking record by Melvin Price and his Rangers, released late in 54, it swings and rolls just fine, some top notch lead guitar and steel makes this worth a pretty penny. Melvin also saw a release or two on Starday in 1956 and 57 in a more uptempo feel.
