Did We Have a Party: Honky Tonk Heroes

This important CD fills a gap in the story of '50s and '60s music, bringing together all known recordings by a top drawer singer who never had quite the right break. Billy Brown was a rodeo performer, a hillbilly singer, a rockabilly, an unrivalled balladeer, a country gospel evangelist, and a mainstay of the central Florida music scene. He spent most of his life in the music business, usually just under the radar. He wrote many songs, recorded for the right labels, but never quite made it in his lifetime. For all that, he left a lot of music to enjoy. And the original version of He'll Have To Go, as good in its way as Jim Reeves' recording!
