Rural Rhythm!

Rural Rhythm # 501 - 1955

Earney Vandagriff and The Big "D" Boys 

Side A - Guest Star In Heaven (A Tribute To Hank Williams)

Side B - I Know I'm Falling In Love. 


Earney & The Big 'D' Boys strike up a hearty rhythm and top notch record with the really good 'Guest Star In Heaven & 'I Know I'm Falling In Love' both are just lovely country sides and basically do what they are supposed to do! they get your toes tappin' and your ears caressed!  


Audition Records!

 Audition - Acetate Record (year unknown)

Record manufacturer is unknown! 

Chuck Holder 

A - Side - I'm Long Gone 

B - Side - Slowly 

Picked up on e-bay for a cheap price! But as with most acetates the sound on both side is a bit eggs & bacon! but still sounds pretty good and for historical reasons it needs to be heard!

The A side is a lovely country song about a cheating wife and how he'll be long gone in the morning! Chuck's vocal is superb and with unknown fiddle & Electric guitar (I would imagine Chuck plays the Rhythm Guitar) this is just a really good country tune! played with elegance and has all the makings of really good record! The flip 'Slowly' has a lot more noise and is your typical country slow tune! good but not as good as 'I'm Long Gone'
