fixbutte 13th Oct 2015		Grandpa Jones' second single under his own name was recorded on his second session for King Records (after the Jan 1944 session, mx. 1775 to 1785). Praguefrank's Grandpa Jones discography (apparently based on Charles K. Wolfe's discography in Jones' autobiography, Everybody's Grandpa: Fifty Years Behind The Mike, from 1984) dates this session to "ca. December 1944, King Recording Studio, 1540 Brewster Ave, Cincinnati, OH", with Billy Strickland on steel guitar. The matrix numbers of this session (1900 to 1911), however, suggest that the recordings were made some months earlier, anyway before Hank Penny's single on King 507 (mx # 1912, 1913), which was already announced to the trade in Sep/Oct 1944. This assumption complies with Jon Hartley Fox' book, King of the Queen City: The Story of King Records, which dates the session to late summer 1944: Jones made it back to Cincinnati on furlough in late summer 1944, and Nathan promptly hustled him into the studio. Working with a steel guitarist, Jones recorded another eight songs, including the two done earlier by the Sheppard Brothers. Jones wrote the majority of the songs, including the session's most successful record, "East Bound Freight Train". Assuming this to be true, the session most probably did not take place in the King Studio (its renting was only announced at the end of October 1944, see Billboard Nov 4, 1944, p. 65), and the steel guitarist involved might be someone other than Billy Strickland. The two sides re-recorded on that session were issued on Jones' next single (King 513), "East Bound Freight Train" came out only one year later (King 545, Aug 1946).
