Atomic Records (Tennessee)


Rex Hale and his Tennessee Valley Boys.
Atomic Records # 307 - 1957.
Side A - Traded My Freedom (Curley Griffin) AT - 10
Side B - A Hobo Life (Rex Hale) AT - 11


Rex and his Valley boys really explode into life with this top notch B side 'A Hobo Life' . The A side is standard country fair written by Curley Griffin and sung and played with excellence by Rex and the boys but it's the flip where we live the Hobo life with the band, just amazing hillbilly bop. 
Recorded in Jackson, Tennessee in 57 this has all the ingredients to fulfil all your hillbilly needs, steel guitar, punchy lead guitar and a tip top echo vocal.
