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.
