That must be Leodie on Stealin' The Blues.
ReplyDeleteAny idea if this Range version predates Leodie's own take on Courtney?
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
DeleteNeeding 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:
ReplyDelete"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
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.
DeleteIt 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
I've got the record. It's from the 60's. I'll look it up.
ReplyDeleteThe record was 'Blue' by Jack Reno on a 45rpm put out by Fono Graf Records of NY.
