Wade Mainer - Rock Of My Soul

 Here is another good gospel LP from the Wade Mainer catalog. This is an early one from the period after Molly O`Day had convinced him he could still be a Christian and play music. I would guess this is from about 1960.

Wade Mainer - Soulful Sacred Songs

 I am going to start posting my Wade Mainer LP`s. I thought that would be the next logical "series" of material to post after all the J.E. Mainer LP`s I posted.
Since it`s Sunday, what we have here is a fine gospel LP. Wade was a very fine country gospel singer. Sometime after World War 2, Wade became converted to a Christian. He still recorded some hillbilly material up into the late 1940`s, but felt his music was interffering with his new choice of religion, so he quit playing and recording for a living. Some years later, Wade met Molly O`Day and she convinced him he could witness as a Christian through gospel music. So, all the rest of his life, Wade and his wife started picking again, both gopel and traditional country. Thank God for Molly O`Day!
The material on this LP is taken from the old King sides and predates Wade quitting music due to religious convictions. Wade had recorded many gospel numbers throughout the early part of his music career.

Archie Campbell self titled LP on the Elekta label

Sorry to inform anyone interested in the Archie Campbell self titled LP on the Elektra label, but I was just informed that I had to remove it due to copyright infringement.
Oh well, it`d been up for sometime, so I`d say most anyone that was interested in it already has downloaded it.

My last two J.E. Mainer LP`s

 Here is the last of my J.E. Mainer LP`s. Sorry I have been so slow to post the last few months. I`d like to do more, but time isn`t always a luxury.
So anyway, enjoy this material, and be patient, there will be more!

Appology to Nancy Turner Brown

I had posted an old LP by Grant Turner called Grant Turner Remembers The Opry As It Was Then. Nancy Turner Brown contacted me through the blog Monday demanding that the LP be taken down because she owns the copyright. So---


Mrs. Brown, I`m very sorry to have offended you. I look and try to figure out if the records I post are still available new and didn`t find it, as it`s been out 30 to 35 years. Just to make sure you know, I make NO money from these posts. You mentioned about buying it in many catalogs and on ebay (as I did). I`m sure none of them are new sales that you could get a royalty from, as all them would be used.
So, once again I`m sorry for upsetting you.


Apparently, Mrs. Brown got the post deleted without giving me the chance of a day or two to do it. So, there is a chance that Blogger may delete my blog due to her complaint of the one post. Sorry if it happens to the many followers that enjoy it. We`ll see what happens here in the future----Allen

Merle Travis & Grandpa Jones - Farm And Home Hour

Here`s a neat LP done in the fashion of an old live radio show. It`s tastefully done too. No foolishness to make it extra hokey to make fun of the old radio shows that were sometimes sponsored by companies with often mis-leading commercials for mysterious products (often health related) and some just plain rip-offs. You won`t regret downloading this, lots of good fum and music here!

The Duke Of Paducah - 2 Purina Transcription Discs

It`s Checkerboard Time! What we have here is a couple of these blue vinyl discs. One is show numbers 49, 50, 51, & 52 on one disc, numbers 77, 78, 79 & 80 on the other. These have The Duke of Paducah talking up some comedy, then introducing the top 10 in country music at the time. These were made for station play, so there is no music. You`ll see how it works if you download the discs.
