BLUEGRASS 917

I'm guessing you'd describe the top side as a country lament. Not something that would keep me awake staring at e-bay whilst the clock runs down on a bid. 
Flipside is more of the same, yet is the better side. Great harmonies between Jim and Bill, but it's a bit monotone. (I say that about most country records however so don't take my word for it.) Once again, King Records (Crown Plastics) takes over the pressing duty from Starday.

Top side is a nice "Cashy" bopper with Floyd's lazy vocals supported by some fine guitar and fiddle. Flip is more country than anything else and although it's well recorded - it doesn't match the top side really. I know nothing about Floyd "Missouri" Walker sadly.

Solid bluegrass from the King Brothers. Top side is a mid-tempo bluegrass shuffle with good harmonies and some fine banjo picking. Flip is a fast fiddle and banjo instrumental workout. Fiddles have a nice bluegrass-cum-cajun sound to them. The banjo player's fiery licks almost melts the record! Another King Pressing.
