	Wynn Stewart Discography: Slipcue E-Zine
		His records from the mid-'60s are some of the best hard country music of that era, though he gradually edged into a softer, mildly countrypolitan style.
		This is some killer West Coast country from the late 'Fifties and early 'Sixties, with a pinch of rockabilly spunk thrown in on top.
		Although it overlaps a few tracks on other recent Wynn Stewart retrospectives, its crowning glory is a look at the formative work of Jan Howard, an artist whose core work -- her late-'60s sides on the Decca label -- remains out of print, despite several big hits in the '60s and early '70s.

	George Jones discography: 1955-1968 (Joe Sixpack's Guide To Hick Music)
		In 1965, when Jones was moved decisively over to the Musicor label, one of his first projects was a duets album with cricket-voiced teen idol Gene Pitney, who was at that time the hottest act on the label.
		It seemed an unlikely pairing, but it produced two albums, both cut the same year, George Jones And Gene Pitney and It's Country Time Again, each of which produced some moderate chart action, and led to a third LP of hillbilly material by Pitney, called The Country Side Of Gene Pitney.
		It's hard to shake Pitney's image as a chirpy, melodramatic teenpop crooner, but after a while his country side seems fairly plausible.
