Shame On You - Spade Cooley
Price $ 11.49
These radio transcriptions from 1944 and 1945 capture this ensemble at its peak. Country, jazz, cowboy, and dance music come together in a fury of fiddles, accordions, and guitars as Cooley's Gang shifts from affable ballads to vivacious polkas, stomps, and rags.

Spadella! The Essential Spade Cooley
Price $ 11.49
Cooley was one of the more curious characters in the annals of country music. In the mid-1940s, Cooley was riding high: he was king of the Southern California ballroom circuit; a radio, TV, and movie star; and, according to legend, winner of a battle of the bands with Bob Wills.

Last Kiss Sessions-Rare Glimpse At Texas Greats!
I produced and compiled this cd. Granted the sound quality was not up to the standards of 1999 but this is
1964! Besides it amazes me that people don't listen to the great perfomances and vocals by J.Frank
Wilson on Hey Little One and Summertime as well as the Buddy Holly sounding "Bound To Happen". This
is a cd that grows greater after repeated listening. The story and liner notes are the only time yet that the
true tale of Last Kiss is told accurately... 20 great cuts with outakes of the original "Last Kiss" session. A real treasure.

Adventure In Western Swing The Light Crust Doughboys
Price $ 15.49
This is a
"killer" country instrumental album: brave in its simplicity, bold in its style and tone....Like Johnny Cash's
American Recordings of late, this pairing of Ventures' legendary guitarist Nokie Edwards and the
equally-legendary Texas music pioneers, The Light Crust Doughboys creates the essence of country
and folk music utilizing, in some cases, just a few instruments....Folks, it's not how many notes you can
play (although Nokie and The 'Boys rip it up in a few instances), it's what you play and how you play it! I
just can't get enough of this Nokie guitar tone and the "just right" rhythm folk accompaniment of these
cowboy jazz men!....And Tom Brumley's haunting, liquid steel adds just the right seasoning...The only
thing better than listening to these masters on this high-fidelity CD would be to sit at their feet and watch
'em as they perform. Let's all hope Nokie/Light Crust Doughboys concerts aren't in the distant future! It's
such a pleasure to hear a guitar that sounds like a guitar...Just maybe, there'll be a series of these
musical album gems, sorta like the PLAY GUITAR WITH THE VENTURES series in the 1960s. This fine
CD could easily be the ultimate PLAY COUNTRY AND SWING GUITAR. Another great thing about this
is it's non-import, all-American price. Producers/arrangers Nokie and The Light Crust Doughboys have
given listeners an audio gift that will last a lifetime. Are there more gems like this to come from these
kings of the strings??
