Budget Covers Part I

Rockabilly and country from the famous Starday/Dixie labels. I have possibly enough material for a second one, which will pop up here perhaps in the near future. The Dixie EPs were produced by Starday for the Stewart Sales Company from Chicago, a mail order business that sold the records over Mexico border town radio stations. Most budget label companies would sign unknown local musicians to record the hits and issue them under various names, leasing them also often to other labels. In contrast, Starday used their singers whether they were famous or not (George Jones being one example).
