  2. Hey, it's not too late to release Curtis Kirk's "Easy Livin'" -- a fine Hank Williams sound. Thank you! And "Party Girl" is a winner, too. Nice rips on these. Good work!

  3. ... or Al Petty which seems to have been chummy with Kirk as they both played together around this time and Kirk later produced him on his Custom label ( as he also did with Gaddis) in the 60's.
