JOHNNY HORON
SINGS FREE AND EASY

Here's the original Lp that represents some of the rarest songs from Johnny Horton in a package that was never offered for sale to the public. They were simply pressed up and released to radio stations. In fact, the songs wouldn't be available to the public in any form until nearly seven years later buried on an album.

These songs were recorded in a big session at the KWKH Studios (home of the Louisiana Hayride!) in Shreveport, Louisiana on January 29, 1958. On the session was Tommy Tomlinson on guitar, Tillman Franks on bass, Sonny Harville on piano and backing vocals by the Four B's.

This is a rare radio-only LP that Horton cut for the performing rights society SESAC. Like BMI and ASCAP, they collect artist’s royalties from radio stations and such. In the late '50s, they got a number of artists to do recordings of tunes from their publishing group, then cut records which were sent exclusively to radio, and were never sold to the public. This is one of those records.
