http://www.rockabillyhall.com/rarerockabilly09.html A few months later, in March '53, Douglas made the move to Nashville and almost immediately befriended Roy Duke and his brother Frank. Tubb and the Duke Brothers seemed to recognize kindred spirits in each other and wasted little time in organizing a band, which also included Russville, Alabama-born fiddle player Mack Smith.

Small-time entrepreneur Ted Edlin then entered the picture. He would later gain some notoriety managing the careers of Hawkshaw Hawkins, Jean Shepard and Cousin Jody, but was still unknown when he met Roy's band in '53. He spurred the group to join the ranks of Bill Bailey's Minstrel Show to play the part of, as Ronnie Pugh wrote, "the hillbilly act to hold the crowds between animal acts and clowns in Cy Ruben's circus". To promote the group's part in the minstrel show, Edlin had Roy, Frank, and Douglas cut a record each for his own Mart label, when they were presumably swinging through Birmingham, Alabama with Bailey's circus. Roy saw the inaugural release on Mart with "My Heart Can't Talk" (co-written with Frank and Ted) and the wonderfully simplistic and undoubtedly Ernest Tubb-inspired "Goo Goo Eyes" (penned by Joyce Duke, the wife of Roy or Frank?) on Mart 1001. Retrospectively, "Goo Goo Eyes" proved a blueprint for the recordings Roy would make in the coming years, if not less subdued than his later sides. Maybe slightly more jovial than his Decca recordings, his drowsy, yet infectious vocal was unmistakable. Roy's hopelessly obscure Mart release was followed by his brother Frank's offering of "Web Of Lies" and "They Made Me Fall In Love" (Mart 1002), Douglas Tubb's "The World Is A Monster" and "Deaf, Dumb, And Blind" (another tune Joyce Duke had a hand in writing) (Mart 1003) and finally Ted Edlin himself with "Only One God" and "Hello Little Boy" (Mart 1004). So (AL) so 1954 not 1955.
