The Flag Records label started in Mobile, Alabama in 1957. When the record company moved up the road to Lucedale in 1961, most of the titles issued were straight country. “Hayfever” is a bit more up-tempo.

ReplyDeleteMy family has had this record/sleeve since it came out, I guess. I remember looking at the sleeve when I was a kid, wondering how another kid got to be on a record?! I reckon after all of these decades, I inherited this gem!
