The Bear Family Johnnie Jack box is definitely more of 'em than I'd want, poisonally... You Johnnie and Jack (and Kitty Wells) fans ought to check out the Bear Family CD 15808 - Johnnie and Jack with Kitty Wells at KWKH. Recorded in 1948 or 49, I think, the album is made of cuts culled from radio transcriptions made for their day-time show during their tenure as members of the Louisiana Hayride. No hit songs here, rather they do covers of other folks' material - Stanley Brothers, Hank Williams, Molly O'Day and the Cumberland Mt. Folks, Jimmie Osborne, etc. - and some great fiddle tunes from Paul Warren. This CD probably is more representative of the group's sound than any other currently available album - though I'd love to find a copy of that box-set. Jim Nelson

RE: Neener neener
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-JJ 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... Jon Weisberger Kenton County, KY [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.fuse.net/jonweisberger/
