A track listing would be, I think,

'Blue Blue Eyes' .................Plainsmen
'I'll Keep On Loving You'......Boots Faye
'Echoes From The Hills'.......?????
"Cincinnati Lou' ................Merle Travis
'No Vacancy' ....................Merle Travis

I'd love to know the group doing 'Echoes From The Hill". A very tasty solo.

I think the steel player on "No Vacancy" is Eddie Martin.

May be Dave, but Praguefrank has Cincinatti Lou and No Vacancy listed in the same session.

Thanks Guy,

After a second listen, I'm now inclined to think it's Murph.

A very impressive collection of 78's!

It’s Joaquin on "No Vacancy".

There’s a false start of the same song at the same session, where Travis starts laughing out loud and talks to Murphey, by name. After a pause, the take as posted above begins.

Listen here:

The other song is "Echoes From The Hills", a Bob Nolan composition. The artist is Shug Fisher and The Ranchmen Trio, from 1946. Shug was soon to join Nolan’s old group, the Sons Of The Pioneers. Shug made several recordings with Joaquin and the Pioneers made some as well.

Excellent detective work.
