Here's some real raw hillbilly music, and a few early Nashville Sound classics. In 1953 Jimmy came up from Louisiana and got a Dot Records contract on the strength of 'Cry, Cry Darling'.

These two CDs follow his career through to 1958, taking in some of the finest hillbilly and rockabilly and country-pop of the era. Altogether, there are 47 titles including July You're A Woman, Oldest Living Son, Earth Rider, The Pirates Of Stone County Road, Razorback Woman, and She Believes In Me
