The year is 1972 and the Butlers have been dropped from the Columbia label and are now on Chart Records. Here we have the only Chart LP that Carl and Pearl had released, "Temptation Keeps Twisting Her Arm".Check out the Glitterbillys on the cover of this LP! Don't they look great?! This is real Country music here folks. Not the perfect crap that comes out of Cashville these days. You will hear a crying steel guitar and a honkytonk piano and a driving bass guitar at times too.
This LP contains not only hits you will recognize from Carl & Pearl but hits that others made famous as well, like Freddie Hart's "Easy Lovin'" and Conway Twitty's "Fifteen Years Ago".
This LP has the fan favorite, "Don't Let Me Cross Over" included and it is a little bit different version than the hit release. It has a very prominant Steel Guitar on it as well as an organ! Subtle differences but very noticable to the true Carl & Pearl Butler fan like me. I really love this version of the song.
Here is the playlist for "Temptation Keeps Twisting Her Arm":
Side 1
1 Temptation Keeps Twisting Her Arm
2 Easy Lovin'
3 Let's Watch The Bluebirds
4 Two Of A Kind
5 Heartaches For Lunch
Side 2
1 Don't Let Me Cross Over
2 Fifteen Years Ago
3 She Didn't Come Home
4 I'm So Close To Loving You
5 Watch That First Step
If you love the old hurtin' and cheatin' songs of yesteryears REAL Country music, add this great old classic LP to your collection.
Until next time, Keep On Honkytonkin!
