HILLBILLY ON A BUDGET Vol 2. BACM CD 511

Of interest to collectors, 30 recordings issued on E.P. by Carl Burhardt’s Big Hits budget label between 1952 and 1958. Mainly covers – by mainly obscure artistes - of songs being made popular at the time by top country stars; so, some refreshing new takes on songs by the likes of Ernest Tubb, Faron Young, Webb Pierce and Hank Snow. In our selection, no less than 9 Hank Snow songs, mostly by the great Al Runyon, who was featured on our earlier Jimmie Rodgers song compilation (CD 387).
