driftinmatt 30th Oct 2024		78 RPM Bonnie Lou And The Dixie Partners - Lonesome Day / Teardrops Falling In The Snow (1949)	...PLUS resonator guitarist George "Speedy" Krise on this session!
driftinmatt 16th Nov 2023		78 RPM The Kentuckians - Talk, Talk About Jesus / Take My Hand Precious Lord	musiccityvinyl and anyone else: what style is this record? What are the instruments featured on these sides? Thanks!
driftinmatt 15th Nov 2022		78 RPM Irving Sharp - Near You / Livin', Lovin' You	Scans appear to have been taken from my copy. NOT the same label as the North Wilkesboro outfit - THIS Blue Ridge label was based in Roanoke, VA.
driftinmatt 7th Jan 2022		78 RPM Keith Anderson And The Ohio Valley Boys - My Reckless Heart / When Autumn Leaves Are Falling (1956)	I own this record. The B side is actually titled "When Autumn Leaves Are Falling" (credited to Anderson-Ebert). Where does the date of 1956 come from? Thanks! [Credits and title updated. Thanks! Mod.]
driftinmatt 20th Nov 2021		78 RPM Hardin Bros. Quartette - O Jerusalem Fair / I'll Leave My Troubles Here Below (1950)	Most definitely NOT the Stanley Brothers, a completely different quartet made up of four brothers from Carter County, Tennessee.
driftinmatt 20th Jan 2021		78 RPM Luke Gordon - Dark Hollow / You May Be Someone (Where You Come From) (1958)	This blows my mind.
driftinmatt 1st Nov 2020		78 RPM The Wilburn Bros. - Tell Your Troubles To The Lord / No Songs Like The Old Songs (1951)	Does anyone have a transfer of this record?
driftinmatt 4th Jun 2020		78 RPM Ritchey Brothers And Their Red Arrow Boys - The Red Arrow Train / The Trailing Arbutus	What does this sound like, Al?
driftinmatt 4th Jun 2020		78 RPM Big Slim And His Oklahoma Boys - Wheeling Boogie / Broken Raveled Ends (1949)	Al, yes the two-tone label is the original design. Great find.
driftinmatt 18th Apr 2020		78 RPM Turner Bros. (Red And Lige) - The Fallen Tree Waltz / Boog-Boog-Boogie (1949)	slholzer, could you check the Ruppli Imperial discography if it lists matrixes for Imperial 8076? That should also be a Turner Brothers release.
driftinmatt 15th Apr 2020		78 RPM Harry And Jeanie West - What Would The Profit Be / Sunny Side Of Life	Thanks for sharing my deadwax photo, Apes Ville! Anyone?
driftinmatt 9th Nov 2019		78 RPM The Pennington Bros. - The Old Cross Road / Travelin' Shoes	Thanks Ron, I had Al Turner send me a transfer of this and indeed it falls within my parameters of a Blue Grass-related record! I am very happy to find a new record I never heard of!
driftinmatt 4th Nov 2019		78 RPM The Pennington Bros. - The Old Cross Road / Travelin' Shoes	Ron (or anyone else owning this), is this a Blue Grass record?
driftinmatt 26th Oct 2019		78 RPM Ray Anderson And Band - The World Lost A Star / Flirtin (1954)	Is there evidence for a 1954 release date? Does 1953 not seem more likely (because of the HW dedication)? Also, evidently NOT recorded at WCHO. The label even states WHTN, which is the station Ray Anderson was working on from 1951 to 1954. He only started working at WCHO after moving to Washington Court House, OH sometime in (ca. late?) 1954 - and this record clearly predates that move.
driftinmatt 26th Oct 2019		78 RPM Cliff Heck And The Hillbilly Playboys - You Can't Break A Heart (That's Been Broken) / I Wonder About You	Released April 1952.
driftinmatt 21st Oct 2019		78 RPM Wayne Raney - Jack And Jill Boogie / Lonesome Wind Blues (1948)	Is Maxine Luna really the lead singer on "Jack And Jill Boogie"?
driftinmatt 15th Aug 2019		78 RPM O. D. Holly And His Southern Troubadors - Filipino Rose / Slipping Around	Al, this is Jim Stanton's Folk-Star label! I sent you an email.
driftinmatt 16th May 2019		78 RPM Dewey Price And The Blue Ridge Mountain Boys - Air Mail Special On The Fly / Sold Down The River (1947)	Mike Gann, thanks for the link, but I generally do not go by Praguefrank's assumptions. The personnel he listed is infered from publications dating ca. 5/6 months before this session took place, where Price is listed as member of Jimmy McAbee's Lazy River Boys - clearly a different band. There is absolutely no evidence in those publications to substantiate that these are the same musicians. Our only hope to come up with accurate names would be to find an early 1947 publication where Price's Blue Ridge Mountain Boys are listed, or that someone (a fan or relative) might have a band picture or recall who they were. If "Blue Ridge Mountain Boys" is just a name for session musicians, chances are we'll never know who they were for sure. I have been compiling a complete discography of Blue Grass singles, and I want it to be as accurate as humanly possible.
driftinmatt 8th May 2019		78 RPM The Dixie Melody Boys - Death Will Never Knock On Heaven's Door / You Must Have That Pure Religion	Released 1949
driftinmatt 24th Feb 2019		78 RPM Dave And Cornny - Our Mother / Traveling Alone (1952)	Reviewes in Billboard 1953/01/24 - quite possibly released January 1953.
driftinmatt 23rd Feb 2019		78 RPM Billy Thomas And The Echo Valley Boys - Black Mountain Rag / Vine Street Stomp (1952)	Any idea who the Echo Valley Boys (guitar and banjo) were?
driftinmatt 21st Feb 2019		78 RPM Stella Della Coonts - Keep On Walkin' / Saviour Hand	I hard these in the past but forgot what they sound like. Which instruments are present, Al?
driftinmatt 21st Feb 2019		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Don't You Wanta Go / When Jesus Died On The Cross (1959)	What do these tracks sound like? Which instruments?
driftinmatt 21st Feb 2019		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Are You Washed In The Blood Of The Lamb / Standing Somewhere In The Shadows	Are "Standing Somewhere In The Shadows" and "I'm Building A Mansion in Heaven" the same as those released on later Country Hymns EPs by Charlie Bailey and the Osborne Brothers?
driftinmatt 17th Feb 2019		78 RPM Sonny Osborn - The Old Home Town / Down The Road (1952)	Does anyone have a transfer of these? Who is doing the lead singing? Enos Johnson? Carlos Brock?
driftinmatt 16th Feb 2019		78 RPM Chuck Swain - Won't It Be Wonderful There / Where Could I Go (1953)	Would Kentucky records (up to until the 560s or 570s) not have a release date of 1951 and 1952?
driftinmatt 17th Jan 2019		78 RPM Leon Beaver And His Kennedy Cowboys - Don't Blame My Dreams / It's Up To You (1949)	xiphophilos: Rich-R-Tone reputedly did NOT release records in numerical sequence, especially in the 400 series. Release dates are all over the place. Let me give you just one of an enormous number of examples: RRT 409 by Buffalo Johnson was released (according to the pressing plant files) 1947/12/29 - Billboard puts it in the 1948/08/07 Advance Record Releases section. Was it held back? Did Billboard just receive the information later? Then, we look back one number at 408 - the plant files show a release date of 1949/07/12!! So yeah...there's enough to confuse even the brightest scholar. Quite irritating for someone who, like yours truly, has spent some 9-10 years working on the best possible approximation of a Rich-R-Tone discography ;)
driftinmatt 10th Jan 2019		78 RPM Leon Beaver And His Kennedy Cowboys - Don't Blame My Dreams / It's Up To You (1949)	Per pressing plant files, this was RELEASED (and not recorded) 1949/12/29
driftinmatt 3rd Dec 2018		78 RPM Ray Anderson - Living Too Fast / At Last (1957)	Record number refers more likely to the date of the session, January 12th, 1957
driftinmatt 3rd Dec 2018		78 RPM Dewey Price And The Blue Ridge Mountain Boys - Air Mail Special On The Fly / Sold Down The River (1947)	Anyone can help with the musician names here?
