Colonial Records - Hollywood, CA.
Tommy Little and his Sunrise Rangers.
Colonial # 116 - 1949
A Side - High Geared Daddy
B Side - We Can Never Love Again
After the minor local success of 'High Geared Daddy' on Tommy's own TRC (North Carolina) label earlier in the year! Colonial stepped up to release the same two tracks on their Hollywood label towards the end of 1949!
High Geared Daddy has all the ingredients to be considered borderline Rockabilly! not quite! but you can hear the subtle movement in that direction! A true hillbilly record that really moves! The acoustic guitar sweeps around and really rocks! a top top rare 78 record!
The flip side has some great duet vocals Tiny & Cliff with some terrific steel and superb acoustic guitar and mandolin! which makes this tune! way above the standard weepie majority of B sides around this time! this track bops along real fine!
