THE FLYING BURRITO BROTHERS – LIVE IN AMSTERDAM (FEBRUARY 1972) - Ariola 86 439 XTC (The Netherlands)

This album was never released on CD

By this time (1972), the typical Flying Burrito Brothers show, now known as "The Hot Burrito Revue", consisted of Rick Roberts performing the best known songs from the band's history, adding a few new songs to the setlist, including one song he wrote called "I Already Know" (which remains unrecorded by him as a studio version), and the remainder of the show was given over to the bluegrass musicians, already recording under the name of "Country Gazette", playing mostly familiar instrumental tunes by the likes of Flatt & Scuggs, etc...

The major show in Holland was at the "Concertgebouw" in Amsterdam in March 1972, and unknown to Rick Roberts at the time, the whole show was recorded, part of which soon emerged on a bootleg LP titled "Sin City Amsterdam". Later, under pressure from the Dutch based record label, Rick Roberts agreed that the show could be released officially, but in Holland only, and in 1973 Ariola released this, a double LP set called "Live In Amsterdam" containing most of the show. This double LP was later released in the U.K. on the Bumble label. Some tracks, not on this LP, were later released in Holland only, on an LP called «Bluegrass Special », along with tracks already on the double LP. Another single LP was later released, also in Holland only, called «In Concert », with selected tracks from the double LP.

THE POOR BOYS & RONNIE SMITH – Early Texas Rockabilly

Richard Porter, a student at Odessa High School, began his early music career by singing with a local country band led by Hank Telford during the summer of 1955. After getting some professional experience with Hank's band Richard began the process of putting together a group with his friend and steel guitar player Eddie Williams. After playing a few gigs with local musicians Bob Caudle (lead guitar) and Ben Bevers (drums) they met Carl Bunch. Carl was playing drums for a dance with the Hood Junior High Orchestra when Richard and Eddie decided to drop by for a listen. They were impressed with his performance offering him the chance to be a part of their new group. Carl Bunch became the drummer and Carl's friend, Bob Hardwick, became the up-right bass player. The group became popular around the area and when Elvis Presley's film debut "Love Me Tender" began showing across West Texas in 1956 Richard decided to named the band 'The Poor Boys" the title of one of the songs. Like many other groups across West Texas during this period "The Poor Boys" quickly moved into rockabilly with Eddie moving from steel to lead guitar. Ronnie Smith (vocalist) joined the group after they backed him at telethon held at the County Park Auditorium. As the band began getting more and bigger bookings Brent Clark (sax) and Roy Licon (trumpet) were added. When Roy Orbison and The Teen Kings began touring The Poor Boys replaced them on their weekly KOSA-TV show sponsored by Pioneer furniture along with performing once a week on KJBC in Midland. The group recorded in Ft. Worth and again in Clovis at Norman Petty Studios. Carl Bunch (drums) went on to become a member of Buddy Holly's band on the ill-fated tour, worked with Roy Orbison, Hank Williams Jr. and Bob Osborn's band. Ronnie Smith joined the Winter Dance Party tour as vocalist after Buddy Holly's death. Richard Porter went on to play football at S.M.U. graduating in1966 from S.M.U. in Dallas then earned a law degree at the University of Florida.

Here are the unissued acetates of The Poor Boys and the singles recorded by Ronnie Smith (who died in 1962).From the personal collection of Richard Porter who sent to me these rarities. I can’t resist to share with you these historic recordings.

COUNTRY MUSIC SUFFERS ANOTHER LOSS
LEGENDARY HALL OF FAME STEEL GUITARIST RALPH MOONEY PASSES AT 82

Born 16 September 1928, Duncan, Oklahoma, USA. Mooney became one of country music’s finest steel guitar players and during his career he played in the bands of many stars. He also ensured that his name would be remembered as co-author with Chuck Seals of the country standard ‘Crazy Arms’.

He became interested in music as a child and after relocating to live with a sister in California, he was taught to play guitar, mandolin and fiddle. He later stated that until he was 12 he had never seen a steel guitar but soon became attracted to the instrument after hearing Leon McAuliffe’s recording of ‘Steel Guitar Rag’. Using a knife as a bar he learned to play the number on his flat top guitar. He first played in several amateur bands and for a time worked for the Douglas Aircraft Company. After appearing with local band Merle Lindsey And His Oklahoma Nightriders, he joined Skeets McDonald’s band with whom he made his first recordings. He refined his style of playing steel with the help of Texas Playboy, Jesse Ashlock and for a time played a self-built steel guitar. In 1950, while he was a regular on Squeakin’ Deacon’s popular radio show, he first met Wynn Stewart and gained session work. He played on early Buck Owens’ hits such as ‘Foolin’ Around’ and ‘Under Your Spell Again’ and also played lead guitar on Stewart’s first Capitol Records recordings.
In 1961, he moved with Stewart to Las Vegas and for two years worked there in Stewart’s club. Merle Haggard was also a band member for a time and when Haggard made his first Tally recordings, Mooney played steel guitar on them. When he returned to California, Stewart remained based in Las Vegas for a further six years, during which time he played on occasions with Stewart on his Vegas appearances and with several singers including Bobby Austin. He also worked for a time with Haggard, by that time fronting his own band, but a dislike of the heavy travelling schedule saw him leave. However, Mooney played steel guitar on several of Haggard’s hit records including ‘Sing Me Back Home’, ‘Swinging Doors’ and ‘The Bottle Let Me Down’. In the late 60s, he once again joined up with Stewart and stayed with him until Stewart’s health made him disband. In 1969, Mooney became the steel guitarist in Waylon Jennings’ band the Waylors, where he remained for over 20 years. Later he continued to make appearances at special instrumental festivals or conventions and became noted for his lectures and demonstrations of his favorite instrument.
Mooney is rated one of the important steel guitarists who restored the popularity of the instrument to country music recordings after it had almost been lost during the country pop years. He wrote several successful country songs, the most popular being ‘Crazy Arms’, that became Ray Price’s first number 1 record in 1956 and was later a Top 20 hit for both Marion Worth and Willie Nelson. Mooney once said, ‘It has been recorded by so many different people. I would starve to death if it wasn’t for those royalty checks.’ He also wrote ‘Foolin’’, a Top 4 chart hit for Johnny Rodriguez in 1983.
Although he played on numerous recording sessions with many artists, Mooney did not make too many solo recordings. A noted album with guitarist James Burton was recorded in the late 60s and examples of his talent may be found on various compilation releases. He recorded some instrumentals for Challenge Records, two notable ones being ‘Release Me’ and ‘Moonshine’, which gained single release on Challenge 59105. Both later appeared on 4 Star various artists albums namely Country Love and Tennessee Pride respectively. He may also be heard with the Waylors on the soundtrack album from the 1975 movie Mackintosh And T.J. In 1983 Mooney was inducted into the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame.
