| HANK MACDONALD |
Cattle 97 |
The Bachelor's Train |
● LP $13.98 |
16 sides recorded in 1957 and 1960 by popular Canadian
country singer. MacDonald is a pretty good singer who was obviously
influenced by fellow Canadian Hank Snow and the album title tune is sung
to the tunes of Hank's Golden Rocket which he also featured here.
There are several other Snow songs here as well as several originals plus
songs from Carson Robison, Bob Noland and others. Accompaniments are basic
featuring guitars, fiddle, steel guitar and bass.

| ALONZO
"DITTO" MARSH |
Cowgirlboy 5124 |
Canada's "Radio Ranger" |
● LP $13.98 |
The late Alonzo has one golden Canadian throat. Although
signed to a major label he never made it for one reason or another. It
must also be noted that his Records are that rare these days that
collectors had mainly only tapes of this material which were provided for
this LP. Alonzo sings to his guitar, but steel guitar is occasionally
heard as well. Early 50s material!
ALONZO "DITTO" MARSH: A Million Miles from Your Heart/ An Old
Castle in Scotland/ At Our Training Camp One Morning/ Chained to a Memory/
I Know What it Means to Be Lonesome/ I Want a Pardon for Daddy./ Keep it
Wrapped in Your Heart/ Little Darlin' I'm Here in Korea/ Molly Bond/ My
Old Brown Coat and Me/ Seven Years I Loved a Sailor/ for this Lock There
Is No Key

| BENNY MARTIN |
Cowgirlboy 5137 |
Star Of The Grand Ole Opry |
● LP $13.98 |
Benny Martin is not only the master of the 8-string fiddle,
he is also one great country singer, which he testifies on these 16 tracks
from the early to late 1950's. Two tracks were recorded with Hank
Williams' Drifting Cowboys and one can also note Little Roy Wiggins
(steel) on several tracks. For people who like powerful country songs from
the heart and great steel guitar and fiddle work this colorful LP is a
must!
BENNY MARTIN: (Little Darlin') Give Me One More Chance/ Border Baby./ I'm
Right and You're Wrong/ Ice Cold Love (# 1)/ If I Didn't Have a
Conscience/ Take My Word/ That's What I'll Do to You/ The Lover of the

|
| DUDE MARTIN
& HIS ROUNDUP GANG |
Cowgirlboy 5148 |
Dude Martin & His Roundup gang |
● LP $13.98 |
All of these songs were recorded around 1950. Dude's music
is exactly in the style of Tex Williams and his voice is just that great,
so it remains a mystery, why he didn't make it. It's a top LP for all
Western swing and boogie fans.
DUDE MARTIN: Atom Bomb Baby/ Boogie Woogie Cowboy/ Don't Come Cryin' to
Me/ Gin Rummy Boogie/ I Always Had a Way with Women/ I Was Sorta Wonderin'./

A Yodel For Me and just about every track features some of Janet's
excellent yodeling. (FS)

| COWBOY SAM NICHOLS |
Cattle 110 |
Cowboy Sam Nichols With The Melody Range |
● LP $13.98 |
Texas singer Sam Nichols enjoyed modest West Coast success
in the late 40's, first with the tiny Memo label in 1946 then for MGM. His
records had the breezy feel of Jack Guthrie's Capitol sides and little
wonder. He and Guthrie used some of the same sidemen - Porky
Freeman(elec.g), Red Murrell & Billy Hughes(g), Al Barker(b), Curly
Cochran(stl.g) & Jesse Ashlock on hot swing fiddle. What the sketchy,
ill-written notes don't mention is that four 1947 numbers, Red Hair And
Green Eyes , Ain't That Too Bad , I'm Not The Triflin' Kind
& Wild And Wicked Look In Your Eye #2 feature backing by Spade
Cooley's band including Cooley, Tiny Hunt and Billy Hill(fiddle), Noel

| AL OSTER |
Cattle 108 |
The Yukalaska Spell |
● LP $13.98 |
From the frozen wastes of the Canadian Yukon comes singer/
songwriter Al Oster. Musically Oster patterns his style on that of Hank
Snow and Johnny Cash. Although these recordings, mostly from the early
60s, are not terribly exciting musically they are an interesting view of
life and times in the Yukon in songs like Buckets Of Steel/ Sourdough
Rendezvous/ Laughing Mountain Goat/ Out In the Great Northwest/ Alaska
Star 49,etc
AL OSTER: Alaska Star 49/ Arctic Eskimo/ Beautiful Alaska/ Blow Northwind

| ELAYNE OTTERSON |
Lucky Lady 3004 |
Feelings Of A Country Girl |
● LP $13.98 |
Elayne is not an unknown. She already released an LP album
in Nashville in 1986. 2 of the best songs of the first LP are included in
this LP but the remainder of 10 tracks were recorded in 1989 exclusively
for Lucky Lady Records. All songs were written by Elayne and recorded in
Nashville. With personnel names like Buddy Spicher (fiddle), Jim Baker
(steel guitar and Dobro), Hargus "Pig" Robbins (piano) you can
expect a perfect nowadays sound which is kept pretty much
"country"...but what about the singer? She's got a warm, dark
voice with a lot of good country feeling. She does not imitate anyone but
if she had recorded back in the 1960's she could have been as successful
as a Jean Shepard or a Norma Jean...perhaps even more than that since does
an excellent job as a songwriter, too!
ELAYNE OTTERSON: Hillbilly Baby/ Homeless Angel/ I'd like to Ride this
Train./ I'm Tryin' One More Time/ It's the Same Old Story/ Please Don't
Ever Stop Loving Me/ Ridin' High/ Thank You Lord/ Thanks a Lot for Nothin'/

| THE POE SISTERS |
Cattle 122 |
Early Stars Of The Grand Ole Opry |
● LP $13.98 |
The Poe Sisters were discovered by George D. Hay in the
1940's. All songs on this album were done on the Grand Ole Opry in Ernest
Tubb's segment of the show. Justin Tubb already spread the news around on
his Nashville "Midnight Jamboree" that this album gets its
release. It's the first time that this Sister duo is on a record, and the
original lacquer discs were cut for a personal memory only from 1944 to
1946. Ruth plays mandolin and Nelle guitar. They perform exactly in the
style of the "Blue Sky Boys". If they hadn't disbanded because
of marriage in the 1940's I guess they could have been the
"female" Blue Sky Boys. Top oldtime pickin' and singin'-a real
gem!
THE POE SISTERS: As Long as I Live/ Don't Let Your Sweet Love Die/ False
Hearted Girl/ Flower Blooming in the Wildwood/ Green Valley Waltz/ Have I

16 of Jack's fantastic early

Dogs), country boogie (Rockin' And Rollin/ It's You), blues
(the excellent When A Man Gets The Blues with bluesy accordion),
old time country (Tennessee/ Paper Of Pins) and mainstream country
(Here Today And Gone Tomorrow), etc. A couple of tracks are from
previously unissued acetates and musically and sound wise are fairly
expendable. Still, an interesting set. (FS)
