Khoury's Records !


Rick Johnson - Khoury's Recordings - KH-644 - 1954
Side A - It Isn't Right.
Side B - Gotta Get Back.

Rick Johnson AKA Gordon Ritter wrote and sung both sides of this top little record on the Khoury label from Lake Charles, Louisiana. Bayou hits was a bold statement but here we have a cool slice of country.
Both sides just ooze quality and Ricks voice is strong and pleasant but it also has an edge which at times sounds really cool. Plenty of steel, Piano and fiddle makes this a lovely B side and "Gotta Get Back" is the tune that swings for sure!
