Jack Tucker and His Oklahoma Playboys 

Debut Records # 1001 - 1953

Side A - Too Blue To Cry.

Side B - Too Quick To Condemn (Too Slow to Forgive)

This was Jack & the Playboys second release on Debut Records . Their first showing was on Debut Records # 1000 where Jack and the boys backed vocalist Audie Andrews .

But here we get to seem them shine and they do a damn fine job on this record. The A side is all you would expect from the year and location, proper Country music, smooth vocals with harmony vocals to match, and top notch playing from the Oklahoma Playboys

Jack and his brother Herb were prominent figures around Los Angeles in the late 40's and early 50's , they both led their own bands and worked at all the big shindigs in California .

Jack Tucker (19 April 1918 - 26 September 1996) 

He was born Morris Tucker in Haleyville near Oklahoma City and came from a musical family. Jack and his brother Hubert (aka Herb) led bands in Los Angeles, playing spots like the Hitching Post, Harmony Park Ballroom, and so on. Jack had a Saturday night television show on Channel 11. Tommy Allsup graduated from Herb Tucker’s band, and according to some, Herb led the more musically sophisticated outfit.
