Roy Acuff - Great Train Songs/Wabash Cannonball

 Here is another Acuff LP I wasn`t planning to post because ALL the songs are also issued on other LP`s I have already posted or will be posting. Then I decided to post it just because it was issued with two different covers and titles. I`m pretty sure the first issue is the title Great Trains songs. Train songs was another of Acuff`s specialties. Happy downloading!

Roy Acuff - Country Music Hall Of Fame

 Here we are getting back to the Roy Acuff on Hickory "series". I had planned not to post this LP because all the songs are on other LP`s I have already or will be posting. Then I looked again and realized the first song, Willie Roy The Crippled Boy, isn`t on any other LP I don`t believe (it may have been issued on a 45 though). I HAD to post this, because the song is a real tear-jerker, which is Roy Acuff`s specialty! So I though if I had to get the one song, it was just as easy to do the whole LP. Enjoy!

Old Joe Clark with guest star Jimmie Skinner

 Here`s a sort of unique record. This LP is in a live show type format. Old Joe Clark plays both old-time and bluegrass banjo on this and does comedy. The comedy is some pretty tired material though. I got this because I like Jimmie Skinner, but the cuts with him I think are just dubbed in, so for me, this record is a bit of a let down, but I wanted to post it anyhow, mostly for the banjo pickin. Happy downloading!

The Phipps Family Sings Traditional Folk Songs

Here`s something I don`t usually do, post a tape. I just copied this off and thought I`d go ahead and post it. The songs are from at least five different LP`s. Enjoy!

A.P. Carter`s Clinch Mountain Ballads

 Here is an interesting LP. I`m not going to try to say anything about it as the back cover tells all I could tell. Enjoy!

The Phipps Family with Helen Carter - Hills Of Home

 Here is another great Phipps Family LP. On this one, they recorded with Helen Carter, which sure enough shows the Phipps` fondness for the Carter Family. Probably 90% of the Phipps` material was Carter Family songs, so I suppose it was natural for them to try to record with a Carter Family member. Happy downloading!

Roy Smeck - South Seas Serenade

 Once again we have a dark, drizzly day here, so I think some Hawaiian music is in order. Here is a fine Roy Smeck LP with him playing Hawaiian music on the lap steel. Enjoy!
