Does anyone have the album cover for Bobby Austin's "Apartment #9"? I believe this was put out by Tally or may have been sold to Capitol.
If this is a dead end is there an internet source for recording credits. I'm trying to find out who did and played what on this album.
Thanks for the help. |

Capitol bought out Bobby's deal with Tally in 1966, most, if not all the material on that album is from sessions at Capitol Tower with Fuzzy Owen as producer.
Capitol kept excellent records of who played on what session, however at the time there was no interest (at least that's what they thought) in showing who played on what.
CD reissues of Capitol albums generally follow this formula, except for the Buck Owens sets he leased to Sundazed.
The budget sets on Sundazed (Kay Adams, Red Simpson, Dick Curless, etc) simply reprint the old LP notes and have no sessions details.
Ralph Mooney has listed himself as Bobby's steel player on both of Bobby's Capitol albums, so that one thing we know for sure.
Thanks to Walter for his usual quick response.

I believe Roy Nichols was involved. Bobby and Roy were real good friends and Bobby would never have any steel but Ralph Mooney if he had a choice. He said Moon was the best in the world.

It's just as likely it's James Burton, there was a point where Burton was doing more Haggard sessions than Roy.
In around the 1966-67 period Roy would sit back and let Burton take a heap of parts, there was even one 1966 session where he called up a day before and said he wasn't coming in.
By 1967 the Capitol session crowd was kind of locked into Burton and Mooney, the Strangers and Buckaroos didn't do a lot of sessions outside of their bosses and immediate projects.
That's pretty much why Norm and Tom Brumley aren't on a lot of other records, the session scene was tied up by the guys who weren't out on the road all over the country.

| Thanks Walter, Jason, and Howard. I am trying to find out who played bass and sang the harmonies on that record. Does the name "Chuck West" or "Chuck Bataglia" prompt any memories from you guys. What I would give to have been there back then. Some of those "fishing" trips with Mooney, Don, and Wynn must have been a hoot. Thanks guys for everything. |

I knew a guy in Fresno called Chuck West, but he was a drummer.
