The Shelton Brothers -- "Just Because" (1935)



The Sheltons were a hillbilly band out of Sulphur Springs, Texas.

The song "Just Because" would become best known when Elvis cut a rockabilly version for Sun twenty years later:

Another Shelton Brothers classic:
"Aura Lee"

This song was originally written around the time of the Civil War. Elvis later sang it with rewritten lyrics:
"Love Me Tender"
