Country Music Week

Penny would like to remind you to tune in to Music To Spazz by this Thursday night from 9 PM - Midnight when Greg G returns for Whacked Out Country 45s Volume 4!  Click to listen to parts 3, 2 and 1!

Songs you may hear on Thursday include:

Lift Ring, Pull Open (MP3)

Jim Ed Brown - Lift Ring Pull Open (2:55)

That Jim Ed sure was a helpful dude. Here he's chiming in with directions, just in case you were too bombed to be able to figure out how to open a can of beer all by yourself.

Country Music Week 1962

As you already know, this is Country Music Week here on the Ichiban blog. Here are some promotional recordings for the big event made by some of the usual suspects and, perversely enough, some not-very-country acts like Connie Francis and the Kingston Trio, who were obviously striving for some crossover success. The 1961 promotional announcements were uploaded to Ichiban yesterday and can be found here.

She's All I Got (MP3)

Conway Twitty - She's All I Got

Here's Conway Twitty's 1972 version of She's All I Got, a huge hit a year earlier for Johnny Paycheck. Interestingly, Paycheck's version was a cover of pop singer Freddie North's original recording of the song, authored by Gary U.S. Bonds and Jerry Williams, known to you as Swamp Dogg.
