Here we have a classic country song by a local Texarkana artist, Hulon Green. Unfortunately, I don’t have much to tell about the artist, as my research did not turn up very much. Let’s have a look on the record label.
Today’s song “Lacking in the Principles of Love” was recorded and released by Green on the Universal Artists record label that was based in Texarkana, on the Arkansas side of the city. It was active between 1967 and at least 1976, releasing records by several local artists. Among the genres were rock’n’roll, country music, and gospel.
Green's release lacks of release info or any hint to it, unfortunately.
Hulon Green released at least two records: the one we’re featuring today and another one on the Ar-Tex label, another local imprint. Noteworthy, Green was the composer of all four known songs he cut, so it seems he had a talent for songwriting. During my research, I found a man named Hulon Calvin Green, born in 1925 in the Texas-Oklahoma-Arkansas border region. He died in 1993 in the Texas part of Texarkana. This might be the same person but I couldn’t find any proof so far.
