Gulf Coast Records !


Dan Seal and String Band Acc.
Gulf Coast Records # 1012 - 1954
Side A - Don't Break My Heart
Side B - You Gotta Walk That Line

Dan Seal and his string band really cook up a storm on the B side of this rare little platter out of Biloxi, Mississippi in 1954.
This was the first label set up and owned by Marion Carpenter and Pee Wee Maddux before they set up the 'Fine' label in the same area a short time after with Dan seeing releases on both.
The A side is a real nice slowish country chugger with some real nice vocals by Dan.
'You Gotta Walk That Line' is pretty damn cool little tune and packs a real punch, starts with that typical Hank Williams intro but added with some superb vocals and chugging rhythm guitar, fiddle and Steel and then we get some fine picking on the ol' lead lead guitar ......wow! just a doozy of a record!
