All releases on the Big J label have a Jimmy Bryant involvment; it's quite possible that it was his own label (in association with BobbyBare?), but it's just a speculation.

I actual have a copy of Rattlesnake Daddy some where on my record shelfs. But had not got round to converting it to mp3. Maybe I should do the flipside? From memory its not a hot rocker.
ReplyDeleteI'm guess that Breda Darling on Big J 45 - 701 Rockin' Lady / For The Rest Of My Days is another label.
I have listed as R'N'R but not heard Big J (CO) 45 - 5587 Ralph & Clyde Cold & Dusty Morning / ?
