Jimmie Smith and His Little Orphans Boys
Vocal with string
wr. Jimmie Smith and Laddie Moore
no date
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...
Looking at BJ's Guide to country & R'N'R 45rpm it from around 1957. Thanks for filling the gap Dean
