How many tunes did Jerry record with vocals by Rex Allen?

I know two: Steel Guitar Rag & Steelin is His Business.

I'm aware of these others:

Dixie Boogie
Steelin' The Blues
You Don't Care What Happens To Me
I'll Keep On Loving You
Afraid
Lonesome Letter Blues (1960s version for Hacienda)
L-o-n-e-s-o-m-e Letter Blues (1953 version for Decca)
Little Brown Shoes
Blues In My Mind
Over Three Hills
I Gotta Have My Baby Back
No More


Maybe more than that, but it's all I've uncovered.

There's a 1950 Rex Allen session that includes "Honolulu Boogie", but oddly it doesn't sound like JB on steel to me.

Jerry really shines on the western swing tunes.

He's also on a lot of early vocal recordings by Art Gibson, Louis Innis, Jimmie and Leon Short, Pete Cassell, and the York Brothers.


Allen is nearly forgotten today, but he was just a tremendous singer
