Jimmie Peters- "I've Had It" circa 1969 (sounds like Buddy Emmons to me ??) https://youtu.be/-mcCexxoKBc


Doug LaValley-"I'd Rather Be Set Free" circa 1964 (steeler ??

It's puzzling why many fine artists like these two on the small labels didn't make it big. I never would have known about them if it wasn't for youtube and the posters playlists. One of the best for traditional country music 60's era stuff like this is Armadillo Killer. Check it out.

That is Lloyd Green on "I've had it" and that was his Sho~bud he got right after his "Lightening Bolt" Fingertip. It is the "By Baldwin" crossover Sho~bud; they eventually took off the bottom neck off; which gave the idea of the LDG.....it sounds WONDERFUL>...wow.
From Lloyd:
Quote:
Hey Ricky,
I want you to listen to the Jimmy Peters cut of “I’ve Had It”. It was posted by Gary Hoetker. It’s me playing of course, but I want you to hear the tone on my Sho-Bud Crossover with nothing more than the plate reverb they added. We cut that at Mercury Records where we cut all the Faron Young records. Tommy Allsup really turned me up on those Metromedia Records (I was his session leader).
That steel was simply the best playing and best sounding steel I’ve ever sat behind! God, I wish I had not given it back to Shot because I know they reinstalled the C6th neck and sold it as a D-10.
But when we cut that record with Jimmy it was still a double. I hadn’t yet got the idea for single-D.

Love ya,
Lloyd

Produced by Dewy Groom and Lloyd Green and sounds a lot like Phil Baugh on guitar. I believe Vern did the vocals on Phil’s Country Guitar:

Off label Gene Watson:

I’m seeing a count of 1952 songs and many DJ only 45’s. What a treasure chest of real and raw country music!

“Little George Jones” with Pete Drake on a Tommy Hill Starday off label:

Gene Watson singing Florence Jean before or after Paycheck?

Florence Jean:

Paycheck - 1966

Watson - 1969 - Never released on an lp but flip side was released by Capitol Records in 1978. (John's Back In Town - lp "The Best" - Capitol ST-11782)

I remember going to see Jimmie Peters in Birmingham. He was very talented and had a great band. Nice person and I enjoyed talking to him. I may be wrong, but I seem to remember he moved to Texas and may have been killed in a wreck going to a gig. Does anyone know if that is what happened ?

Gary,I have been following Armadillo Killer for years.When I go to Youtube,he's the first thing I go to to see if has put anything up that day.I've heard so many great songs from people I've never heard of before.

Many of these have Emmons,Mooney,and Lloyd Green playing on them,no doubt.

AK must have been a dj before,having access to thousands of records that he shares with us.

Thank you Ricky. I remember now who I was thinking about. I played at Banks Lounge with him and I can tell you he started each night with the theme song from the Dukes of Hazard. However, at 85 years old, his name has left my mind.
