Allen`s archive of early and old country music.

Hello neighbors!! On this page I`ll be posting county music (or music that influences country music) from my collection of 78`s LP`s and 45`s. Most of what I`ll have here will be from about 1900 up into the 1950`s or so. I`ll try to use stuff that is not currently available to buy. All artists I`ll be posting recorded before 1950, but some recordings may have been made later than 1950. I hope you all enjoy what I`ll be putting one here!!

Jimmie Riddle 45 on the Todd label

Well here`s an odd one! Jimmie Riddle was one of Roy Acuff`s Smoky Mountain Boys who played harmonica, piano and accordion. He also made an LP or two and had a 45 and a 78 of his own. But this takes the cake! Jimmie, predictably, played country music, but this is rock harmonica. Unfortunately, they misspelled his first name on the label, oh well. Happy listening.
