Do the Stagger with the Louvins

THE LOUVIN BROTHERS- The Stagger (Capitol 4331)

In a catalog including classics such as "I Don't Believe You've Met My Baby", "Knoxville Girl", and "Cash on the Barrelhead" a 'dance'song catches little respect, but Charlie and Ira's "Stagger" ain't too shabby... but then I dig these big ol' country stars going the rock route. Something odd and appealing about the whole thing. And it being the Louvins is icing on my sugary cake.

I'm A Sad Sack

SLEEPY MCDANIEL AND HIS RADIO PLAYBOYS- Sad Sack (DC 8040)

1949 release from a Tennesse (?) artist that later became a manager for Hank Snow.

If You're Gonna Play the Jukebox,...

JOHNNY PAYCHECK- A11 (Hilltop 3007)

Quite simply one of the greatest songs of all time. A favorite for singin' along to in the car. And a favorite for kitchen floor two-steppin' with Mrs. Westex.

Just so very, very good.

Make sure you pick up the Bear Family cd on Donny Young / Johnny Paycheck... EASILY one of the BEST single disc / single artist releases they've ever put out.
