Orville 'Rusty' Newby and his Saddle Serenaders
Academy Record # WS 100 - July 1950 - Fresno, CA
Side A - Ghost-Town Boogie.
Side B - I Can't See The Sun For The Tears.
This ghostly horror hillbilly lament was recorded in Fresno, CA in 1950 and by jingo it's a horror smash. Ghost-Town Boogie is just incredible, a haunting ghostly steel weeps along with scary lead guitar and vocals that would scare a tumblweed back up a tree. Additional vocals by Ray Cook . Killer Hillbilly Diller!!!!!

Here is another Academy record by Orville with the exact same label number # 100! (No WS Prefix) But I just cannot be sure which version was released first! Both these records have the same song listed on both versions! 'I Can't See The Sun For The Tears' on the A Side here but on the B side of the 'Ghost Town Boogie' release!
To be honest! the A Side here is a pretty bang average country tune! nothing special! so leads me to think they loved the song and when 'Ghost Town Boogie' was recorded they knew that was the better song and re-released the same version of 'I Can't See The Sun For Tears' on the B side!
