Waiting At The Station


Hoot Gibson

Waiting At The Station

(H. Gibson - W. Maxwell, Lowery Music BMI)

Peach Records


Not the rodeo champion and cowboy actor (1892-1962), I assume.



Update : the following info is provided by Westex.

Hoot Gibson was- for a time- an Odessa boy. He ran Coronado Sound Studios and released at least 3 45s on his own imprint including one by Johnny "Peanuts" Wilson, another by Eddie Williams, and an Orbison-styled rocker by Jan Lessard. David Box worked in his studio a bit as did Ray Rush and Ted Grobel. The venture was short lived.

I'm not sure anyone really knows where Hoot came from... just that he was from down south, as in south Texas... and he moved out this way in the early 60s.

Weldon Rogers, also from this area of Texas, also had a release on Peach at around this same time.

  2. W Maxwell, Winfred Gorman Maxwell, shares a songwriting credits on a song listed on the BMI site (You can't love me) with Buzz Cason and Tommy Alsup (the man who didn't get on the plane with Buddy) I'll see if I can hunt up who he/she is. sounds compelling.

    1. Thanks Westex.

      The Peanuts Wilson release (on Coronodo) is listed in Rockin' Country Style here :

      I have pictures of two releases on the Coronado label with a P.O. Box in El Paso : Danny and the Counts (#136) and Mitch 'n Gary (#145).

  4. There is no connection between the El Paso Coronado label and the Odessa label.
