STARDAY RECORDS 609

Two ballads from Buddy. Both are pleasant without being exceptional. I especially like Buddy's "Hick" Vocals. Band lend fair support with steel guitar being the prominent lead instrument. He was locally popular enough to have a fan club which was based in Snyder, Texas. Luckily for guys like me who crave the more RaB type of music, Buddy comes alive later on in the series. Both sides are co written with Ruth Snider who eventually married Buddy.

Buddy cut three singles and them gave up on his musical ambitions (if he indeed had any) and spent his time working for the Bell Telecommunications company. He passed away in December 2007.
