The Lonesome Drifter - "Eager Boy" (1959)

Bastrop LA singer who apparently did not believe in rhythm sections. I've heard two of his tracks; neither has bass or drums

At one point copies of this went for $5K

quote:

The song was first offered to Hank Williams, then the undisputed "King" of country music. He was singing it on his early morning radio shows and that's how Webb Pierce first heard it. Fred Rose, Hank's music publisher and unofficial manager wouldn't let Hank record it saying it was too risky, as it was a little risque for the time. Hank told Webb ..."I think anyone's got guts enough to record it has got themselves a number one hit."

Webb Pierce recording
In August 1952, Webb Pierce released his version. Pierce's song was his third straight number-one single on the C&W Best Seller charts, where it stayed at number one for two weeks.

11 yr old Brenda Lee singing "Hound Dog" on the Jr Ozark Jubilee TV show. Features a special appearance (literally) of legendary guitarist Thumbs Carllile (yes, that's how it's spelled) (1956)

Guy Clark wrote the song Heartbroke. Ricky Skaggs was a studio musician before making it as a solo artist. He played in the band for Guy Clark, and said if he ever got a record deal he would record this song. He did, and took it to #1 in 1982.

Super-obscure, Cajun-influenced 1973 single on Nashville's Royal American label (connected to RA shows of state fair/carny fame?)



Not the same Jerry Nolan who was the NY Dolls drummer, though I'm sure you were wondering
