As was the norm around the late 40's & early 50's Sheldon Gibbs was a bar owner, radio personality, restaurant manager and leader of a band! and as would have it Sheldon was a very popular band leader and was the first guy to discover Marty Robins!

The A side is just a real nice country tune with all the usual trimmings but it's when you flip the thing over you get! well you get very close to a Rockabilly tune!  Slim Forbes on Fiddle, Bud Croy and Dale Noe on Guitars and they really cook up a storm on this pretty hard to find slice of shellac! the beginnings of Rock 'N' Roll and Rockabilly is nearly here and the Houn' Dog Boogie has a bark! a pretty loud bark!
