Radio Artist Records !


Turner Bros (Red & Lige) - Radio Artist Records # 204 - May 1947
Side A - All Night Long
Side B - Could you Take Me Back.

Red & Lige hit the ground running with the brilliant 'All Night Long', fantastic bluegrass and hillbilly bop with the expected great fiddle, steel and humorous dual vocals. The flip is the usual slower number but both are a look into the changing styles in country and Bluegrass around this time and this disc shows that Hank Williams had started to gather interest around this time.

Turner Bros. (Red & Lige) 
Radio Artist Records # 234 - 1948

Side B - Boog-Boog- Boogie

Mid 1948 E. T. Herzog Recording Studio, 811 Race St., Cincinnati, OH - Turner Brothers (Red & Lige) (Ulysses Red Turner [vcl], Monroe Lige Turner [vcl] + Roy Lanham - Lead Guitar + Unknown Steel & Bass!

If you want Hillbilly Boogie in your life then your search is over folks! what we have here is Hillbilly Boogie perfection with the Turner Bros on dual vocals and rhythm guitar and Roy Lanham on Lead guitar for what can only be described as a "Scorcher"
This could have been recorded in 1952 and you wouldn't argue with it but the fact is it was recorded in mid 1948!!! ....damn fine!!!!.......Roy is hot hot hot on that 6 string for 1948 !!!!!
Radio Artist records always bought your radio friends to records and thank god they did !!!
