Kingsport (Tennessee)!

KINGSPORT RECORDS - Tennessee!

Reece Shipley and the Rainbow Valley Boys.

Kingsport Records # 104 - 1952

Side A - Milk Bucket Boogie.

Side B - Will Good Times Last Forever.

This super boogie record from 1952 just moves! The old alarm clock goes off at the start and it's off milking we go! and Reece and his Rainbow Valley boys get straight to it! (This was re recorded in the same year by Harry Adams on Kentucky Folk Records) . 

Pretty much a typical of the year and time western boogie record but elevated by some tremendous playing and delivery from all! 

Range-Land Records (Arizona)

Range-Land Records - Arizona

Frankie Starr - Range-Land Records # 1914 - March 1955

Side A - I Love You Too Much To Leave You

Side B - I'm Paying The Price

This Range-Land Record company has no connection to the Starday Custom 78 record by Billie & Gordon Hamrick that was released a year earlier!

Frankie Starr during his career put out some sterling work like the popular 45 'Elevator Boogie' on Star- Win records! but here we have a fairly tough to find 78 release!

What you get on this platter is two mighty fine (maybe not stunning) but nevertheless! two fine Country songs! Frankie is in fine voice and his unknown band 'quite simply' keep it simple but they do it very well indeed! This record was catered to the country 'straight down the middle' working class family! pure in every form when toe tapping was the order of the day! in word 'Classy'
