Two more Dick Unteed LP`s

 Here`s our next installment for this "series". I thought I`d post these two together because they both have the same title (why did the label do that?) but are different LP`s. Seems foolish fo them to have named these the same. In the day before the internet, sales to stores were likely through a catalog. If I had been running a record store, I might have though this was a mis-print and only ordered one of the LP`s for my stock. Same for someone at home that commonly used mail order. If you had bought one, and maybe a year or three later the other one came out with the same title, you likely wouldn`t have bought it unless you noticed a different catalog number, but if there was no song list, you might have still thought it was the same record that you already had. The LP with the green cover seems quite a bit rarer than the others, and the title may be why. So... download and enjoy!

New "Series" - Dick Unteed

 Here is a new "series" I`m going to start. I don`t really know anything about Dick Unteed, but he recorded at least five LP`s for the Rural Rhythm label and one on the Rome label (which may have been related somehow to Rural Rhythm). He apparently also worked for the Rural Rhythm label as a producer.
Anyhow, here`s some good old time songs mixed with some Irish comic songs, sang with a pleasant voice with some pretty good instrumentalists, such a Smoky Mountain Boy Jimmie Riddle on harmonica on some tracks. Happy downloading!

Correction for Clayton McMichen - The Traditional Years post

Seems somehow the song  My Carolina Home from the LP has disappeared from my music program where I store all my music. But... I had transferred off the 78 of it have, so I`m just posting it. My 78 of this is in nearly mint condition, so I`d say the sound quality is as good or maybe even better than what was on the LP anyhow, plus we get one more bonus tune!

Clayton McMichen - The Traditional Years

Here`s a pretty good LP on Clayton McMichen. If you know anything at all about him, you`ll know he was a member of the old string band, Gid Tanner & The Skillet Lickers. If you know a little more about him, you may know he played on some Jimmie Rodgers records and even wrote one of his most popular songs, Peach Pickin` Time In Georgia. What this LP deals with is more of  what I`d call "just McMichen" recordings, that is records that had featured or soloed McMichen. He was literally on hundreds of 78`s from 1925 through 1939. I would even venture to say that he may have been on more 78`s than any other country artist (except maybe Vernon Dalhart) if you count all the records he recorded a sort of a studio artist. So, download and enjoy!
