This is not John Lee Hooker (who recorded as Texas Slim for King), This is a Hillbilly artist who recorded a number of cover versions for budget labels.
No artist listed on the B side.
B side label lists composer "Frizell", which is a mispselling of "Frizzell".

slholzer 8th Nov 2023		Yet another example of a hybrid print: the old Folk Music Inc. logo on one side, the new Inc.-less logo on the other. I would speculate that the change must have taken a lot of people by surprise. Possibly they had a stock of pre-printed labels with the old logos already on that they needed to use up. I suppose it could be a bizarre way of distinguishing the A side from the B, but I am not used to thinking in those terms with regard to multi-track EP issues. I am not sure there was ever a bona-fide hit recording that started life on one of these. Granted, Folk Music's EPs were probably a cut above the average in terms of the quality of the music issued, but the EP was still primarily targeted at the bargain-hunting market. Marketing people would have been horrified at wasting a hot track on an EP when it could be used to sell that many more singles with a higher profit margin. It's worth noting thatt he Texas Slim side of the illustrated disc was also used in it's entirety on Folk Music 123 and Folk Music 127.
deezee 25th Nov 2016		This is not John Lee Hooker {who recorded as Texas Slim for King), This is a Hillbilly artist who recorded a number of cover versions for budget labels. Suggest listing as Texas Slim (Hillbilly). Referred to Mod.
