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!

Cecil Campbell - Greatest Hawaiian Instrumentals

 Today is the coldest day we have had here at home so far this fall, so I thought some Hawaiian music would warm me up. This truly does have some of the greatest Hawaiian tunes on it. Cecil Campbell was one of the greatest country lap steel players. He was sort of like Bashful Brother Oswald on the dobro in that his style sort of bridged the gap between country and Hawaiian music. As we know, steel guitar dominated country sound from the mid 1940`s on through the 1960`s, and especially in the 1950`s with the piercing tone in most country bands. The lap steel was the very first electric instrument invented and here is a good record as a sample of that early sound----Enjoy!

Roy Harper - Hear Them Again

 Here is the last LP I have of Roy Harper with Blake Bynum. I have already posted two other LP`s by them a long time ago. I know of one more all gospel LP they had out, but when I see it for sale the price is WAY out of my range. It usually brings between $200 and $300! So if anyone out there has one laying around and wants to get rid of it cheap, let me know!

Roy Harper & Blake Bynum - Very Countrified

 Here is one of my favorite LP`s. It`s not that I`m a huge Roy Harper fan as much as I love the style and sound of Blake Bynum`s finger picked guitar and his Dobro style (which he actually played on a National Tri-Cone guitar). I`m a big fan of the Hawaiian cuts for sure. Happy downloading!
