> Who the heck are Johnnie and Jack?
A great late 40s to early 60s act. Kitty Wells is Johnnie Wright's wife.
Jack was killed in a car wreck in 1963, on his way to Patsy Cline's funeral,
if I remember correctly. They did a lot of great numbers, in a duet style
that was very different from the Louvin Brothers'; think more along the
lines of an earlier Wilburn Brothers. They had a number of popular
rhumba-based hits, including (as one hopes all Buddy Miller fans know)
"Poison Love."
Johnnie, BTW, had a post-J&J solo career that included an early (maybe the
1st?) Tom T. Hall #1 in "Hello Vietnam."
Barry Mazor, if I remember correctly, is a Johnnie & Jack fan...
