Ray is on my list. His Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music is to me one of the finest albums ever recorded.

The first time I heard this recording I dropped everything and went straight to the record store to get my copy. Then I found the album and also bought it. Ain't nothing better than this
I never understood why Hank Williams used the alter ego Luke The Drifter, but here is one he released under that name

@edgarblythe,
Brenda Lee was my favorite singer of the day - a real firecracker. This song Sweet Nothing really rocked out for the late '50s early to '60s. Loved her energy, too. She crossed over genres to Rock & Roll from Country but in those days there wasn't so much of a cross-over at all. Great bold sax licks in here, too!
The classic torch song Break It To Me Gently
This one still brings tears to my eyes. All Alone Am I

I was in love with Brenda Lee. Oh well. She married a local guy that I believe worked at a gas station. Don't take it for true, because I write from memory that goes back to the late 50s or early 60s.
