Obscure hillbilly on a custom label started in the forties by the sometime preacher and borderline con man Clifford Spurlock.
The label subsequently changed hands several times : for example in late 1952 Jim Stanton was noted as the Rich-R-Tone and Acme chief, while in the late fities the Acme Enterprises Inc. (and the Janel label) was owned by Zeke Clements. Anyway these custom Acme records are rather difficult to date. The Jimmie Smith record was first issued on 78 RPM on a Red Acme label.
Missing in this Acme label discography maintained by my indefatigable friend Apesville (aka Drunkenhobo). A visit to his blog is recommended...
Carrie Smith & The Midnight Ramblers
Please Don't Laugh
Here is a nice unlisted bopper from Texas on the Jamaka label.
Not listed in discogs (36 singles and one LP listed on Jamaka)
Not listed in 45cat (19 singles on Jamaka)
The number of good records that remain to be discovered, especially from the Lone Star State, is astonishing,
The Jamaka songs were usually published by Cherie Music, but curiously enough not that one : Sturdevantunes is a publisher unfrequently seen (Sturbevantunes on the label is certainly a typo, composers are Carrie L. Smith and Jo Cyrer.
Carrie Smith composed at least two songs, but they were probably some more :
one was recorded by Orville Couch some 10 years before this one : Five Cent Candy (on Starday)
and the other by Johnny Dollar which remained unissued : Car Coat Baby.
