REG LINDSAY :
" Born in 1929 in Parkes NSW, he will always be associated with his now legendary motorcycle ride from Adelaide to Sydney in 1951 for his winning tilt at Tim McNamara's famous talent quest. "
" Lindsay won three Golden Guitars and wrote more than 500 songs during his long career that also included two long-running television shows - The Reg Lindsay Country Hour and Reg Lindsay Country Homestead.
He also experienced some success in the United States and was the first Australian to be officially recognised with a plaque on Nashville's Walkway of Stars. ....
One of the songs he is best remembered for is Armstrong, which was his tribute to the American astronauts and their historic moon landing and was his first big hit on the pop charts in 1971. "
TOMMY COLLINS:
Leonard Raymond Sipes (September 28, 1930 – March 14, 2000), better known as Tommy Collins, was an American country music singer and songwriter.
Active primarily during the 1950s through 1970s, Collins was instrumental in helping create the Bakersfield (CA.) sound of the country music genre. He enjoyed a string of hits during the mid-1950s with cleverly constructed but intrinsically simple little songs including "It Tickles" "All Of The Monkeys Ain’t In The Zoo", "You Gotta Have A License" and "Watcha Gonna Do Now."
He also wrote several songs for other artists, including "If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')," which originally became a top 10 hit for Faron Young in 1954 and became a No. 1 hit by George Strait in 1988.
After several years in the ministry, Collins returned to recording. In 1965, he had a comeback hit with "If You Can't Bite, Don't Growl." In the 1970s, he wrote several hits for Merle Haggard, including the No. 1 hits "Carolyn" and "The Roots of My Raising."
" His recordings for Capitol, commencing in 1953, marked him out as something of a musical pioneer in that he probably created the celebrated Bakersfield (CA.) ‘sound’, which later became wholly associated with the late Buck Owens. Indeed, Buck played guitar on many of Tommy’s sessions creating that highly distinctive high-tone Fender sound that eventually put Bakersfield on the musical map.
During the course of the '50s, he released a series of hit singles that lightened up the tone of honky tonk with bouncing backbeats, novelty lyrics, and electric guitars. Collins explored a more serious side with his ballads, yet they continued to sound slightly different than his peers — though they weren't as polished as the countrypolitan coming out of Nashville, they didn't have the grit of honky tonk. Legions of West Coast country performers — most notably Buck Owens, who played guitar on several of Collins' hit singles, and Merle Haggard — built on the sound that Collins established in the early '50s. The British Archive of County Music issued a CD-R on Tommy called Think It Over Boys. It covers 25 songs Tommy recorded from June 1953 to July 1956TOMMY COLLINS RECORDED "THINK IT OVER BOYS" FOR HIS "WORDS AND MUSIC COUNTRY STYLE" ALBUM - CAPITOL T-776 c.1956
JOHNNY BARFIELD (AND THE CORRAL COWBOYS) :
Hillbilly boogie
"Country musicians began recording boogie in 1939, shortly after it had been played at Carnegie Hall, when Johnny Barfield recorded "Boogie Woogie."
The trickle of what was initially called hillbilly boogie, or okie boogie (later to be renamed country boogie), became a flood beginning in late 1945. One notable release from this period was the Delmore Brothers' "Freight Train Boogie," considered to be part of the combined evolution of country music and blues towards rockabilly. In 1948, Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith achieved top ten US country chart success with his MGM Records recordings of "Guitar Boogie" and "Banjo Boogie," with the former crossing over to the US pop charts. Other country boogie artists included Merrill Moore and Tennessee Ernie Ford.
The hillbilly boogie period lasted into the 1950s and remains one of many subgenres of country into the 21st century."
