Sadie's Favorite Boyfriend.
Speck Rhodes was an American treasure, even if Porter Wagoner was the only one who ever laughed at his jokes. He also sang.

Hard Head
Norm Burns does little to conceal his misogynistic tendencies and rage in this light, country shanty. Just in time for the stressful holiday season.

Ballad of Davey Crewcut
The Universe has been gleefully deluging me with Davy Crockett cover songs and parodies lately, for which I am eternally grateful. And that this one's by H & J is all the sweeter, I adore them partly because they can be consistently relied upon to be more annoying that I am. Note to Michael of Boot Sale Sounds where this can be found, one of my takedown notices from blogger was for a H & J album (one long out of print, no less), so be forewarned. Smart downloaders will want to snap this one up pronto.

Johnny Bond - Here Come The Elephants
"I graduated from college... Magna Cum Loaded!"
- Bond was born in Enville, Oklahoma. He got his first break working for Jimmy Wakely in the late 1930s and went on to join Gene Autry's Melody Ranch in 1940. He also acted on occasion in films including Wilson and Duel in the Sun; and was later a regular on the 1950s Los Angeles country music television series Town Hall Party.
- He is best known for his 1947 hit "Divorce Me C.O.D.", one of his seven top ten hits on the Billboard country charts. In 1965 at age 50 he scored the biggest hit of his career with the comic "Ten Little Bottles", which spent four weeks at number two.
- Bond's other hits include "So Round, So Firm, So Fully Packed" (1947), "Oklahoma Waltz" (1948), "Love Song in 32 Bars" (1950), "Sick Sober and Sorry" (1951) and "Hot Rod Lincoln" (1960).
- He died of a heart attack in 1978, at the age of 63. Bond was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1999, and to the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. (source: Wiki)
- This LP also has a GREAT duet called Day Drinkin' with Red Sovine.

Who wants good ol' fashioned country cornpone? Well, who cares what YOU want, the rest of us want to hear it, and better yet it comes from a blog named after a talking mule.
