The Carter Sisters & Mother Maybelle With Chet Atkins ~ 1949, Volume 3 (2006)

I've honestly never been a huge fan of the stuff they did with Chet Atkins (I prefer the traditional Carter sound) but these radio shows are interesting because they feature some of the handful of recordings of mommy Maybelle on the banjo!

The Carter Family ~ Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes / The Western Hobo (1956)

I've been trying to collect and organize all of the Acme recordings that were ever released to the best of my ability for the past couple of years. This is difficult because no concise recording discography has ever been made (especially for their later sessions for Acme in 1956) and a;so difficult to restore them because the quality of some of the recordings (especially the later ones) is just a mess in regards to the equipment used and the engineering. I believe I only have one record left to find with the final Acme cut I need to complete my collection and finally start trying to organize all known tracks chronologically in my own set, which I hope to make much more organized and better sounding than the sparse JSP CD set. Until then, I'll be posting the Acme singles and EP's I do have in individual posts.

Margaret Lewis ~ Mrs. Cooper's Tea Party / Miss to Mrs. Misery (1968)

Sun Records recently re-issued a good deal of their catalogue digitally including some rare singles like this one from SSS International. I do not know much about Margaret Lewis, but I bought this because the A-side is a song written by Tom T. Hall that I've always really liked and I like her rendition of it. This was released around the same time that Shelby Singleton's other label Plantation Records was basking in the success of Hall's first great hit "Harper Valley PTA" that was recorded by Jeannie C. Riley. Not sure why he didn't release this on Plantation instead of his other label that was primarily for R&B. Anyways, enjoy.

Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys ~ The Bluegrass Sound (1968)

This is actually the recent digital release of this rare album (that was sourced from vinyl) that I downloaded and re-equalized in HD to try and undo the awful restoration job that was done on it. I got it to sound MUCH better, keeping in mind the subpar quality of the original recording. I will be doing the same with his other Jalyn album very soon.
