Bullet Records !



Ramblin' Tommy Scott 
Bullet Records # 624 - 1947
Side A - Sweet Woman Blues.
Side B - My Little Moonbeam

September 1946 WSM Radio Station Studio, 116 5th Ave. North, Nashville, TN - Ramblin' Tommy Scott (Tommy Scott [vcl/rh gt], Jimmy Vance [mandolin], ? [steel], Joel “Horsefly” Price [bass])

For 1947 this song is way ahead of it's time!!!
This is a pseudo Rockabilly track for sure, a truly brilliant rural hick song, Elvis must have heard this on the radio (along with his 1951 song 'Rockin and Rollin' on the Federal label) and thought "I can do that".
Hank was doing his thing and Tommy was doing his and my god this cooks.

York Bros. - Bullet Records # 641 - 1947
Side A - Mother's Not Dead, She's Only Sleeping.
Side B - Got Blues On My Mind

This little beauty was pressed in 1947!! but sounds like it should be around 1951 to my ears! way ahead of its time! 2 splendid tunes by the York Bros. and is easy to see why these cats were popular with the country music buying public! 

This Bullet release has two songs that are simply amazing! 

The A side is a classy little ditty! slow but moving with sweet harmony vocals by George & Leslie!

'Got Blues On My Mind' has that rural country vocal harmonising & some farmyard lead guitar all kept together with that beautiful squeezebox and fiddle just bubbling under the surface! wonderful!
