The comment about Byrd is in reference to a much later recording "Who's The Biggest Fool".
You can find the following info online, but it certainly does not sound like Herby to me--by which I mean I don't hear any "Herbyisms"--though I'd guess he could sound like that if it was his intent on such a pure "hillbilly" recording.
The song has kind of a mambo thing going on, where I'd expect someone with Herby's talent to flip out a bit and do something more in line with a mambo, but it sounds very mundane to my possibly tin ears.
This source says "probably", but I note that the songwriter is "J. Shell", almost certainly Jim Shell of Dallas, which might imply a Dallas recording rather than Houston.
It's probably lost to history unless you think you can ID the player by ear.
