Little did I realize how time consuming I'd make this project when I started...
But here we are at last.
1957 and the beginning of the Lp era.
Life is good with your monophonic Hi-Fi set up.
April 1957 - LPM-1412 - Barefoot Ballads
Here it is. The first full length long playing 33 1/3 rpm 12" record for Homer and Jethro. It sets the pattern for pretty much every one to follow barring the live ones. Twelve songs. Six per side. No waiting. No muss. No fuss.
And as I'm not feeling so up to snuff today, I'll leave it to you, dear reader, to do all the leg work if you're interested in tracking down the origins of some of these tunes. Google is your friend.
(They also reprise earlier tunes "Boll Weevil" & "Ground Hog" for this set, so you can always refer back to previous posts to refresh your memory.)
the track listing is:
| Cigareetes, Whusky and Wild, Wild Women | |
| The West Virginny Hills | |
| Sweet Fern | |
| I'll Go Chasin' Women | |
| The Frozen Logger | |
| Ground Hog | |
| Keep Them Cold Icy Fingers Off of Me | |
| Boll Weevil No. 2 | |
| High Geared Daddy | |
| Dig Me a Grave in Missouri | |
| Tennessee, Tennessee | |
| Down Where the Watermelons Grow |
Go to town.
They bring their A Game on this first one. Lots of good material to enjoy.
