  1. That must be Leodie on Stealin' The Blues.

    Any idea if this Range version predates Leodie's own take on Courtney?

    1. I've been trying to find a copy of this record (vinyl) for several years - if anyone has one to sell, I'd love to hear from them dmundel@q.com

  2. Needing assistance from a rockabilly expert. I'm hoping someone can help. So I'm in search of an old 45rpm I had growing up. It's an old rockabilly sounding number & the only snippets of lyrics I can recall are this:

    "These blues have got a hold on me, that ain't no lie.
    I feel so lonesome, I think I'm gonna lay right down & die
    Blue blue blue, blue blue blue
    Lord oh lord, I'm feelin' blue"

    Any help would be SERIOUSLY appreciated! :) I can be reached via email at muzik_guy2@yahoo.com

    1. I was just tryin to find the same answer. I thought maybe it was Don Gibson. It's not in his list of songs that I could find. I can tell you it was no earlier than 57. Somethin tells me it was durin the crossover period, when country and rock singers tried to make dual-market hits. I think that may have been from 59-61.

      It has yodelin in the "blue blue blue" bit, that might narrow it down.

      Or it may have been in 1967 when I had my alarm clock radio tuned to WDON

  4. The record was 'Blue' by Jack Reno on a 45rpm put out by Fono Graf Records of NY.
