This photo of Carl Butler and Pearl is from about 1971 or 1972 when they were recording for Chart records. They only recorded one LP with Chart, "Temptation Keeps Twisting Her Arm". Three singles were released from this LP. In October of 1971, they released "Temptation Keeps Twisting Her Arm" b/w "I'm So Close To Loving You". In April of 1972 they released "She Didn't Come Home" b/w "Two Of A Kind" and sometime in 1973 they released "Heartaches For Lunch" b/w Fifteen Years Ago". Yup, Fifteen Years Ago, the same song that Conway made famous.

Aren't those suits just too cool? Carl and Pearl were definately the flashiest couple in Country Music.

If you get the chance, go to one of the on line auction sites like Ebay or even go to Amazon.com or Alibris.com and search for some of Carl & Pearl's music. If you like your Country REAL, it doesn't come any more real than them.

Until next time, Keep On Honkytonkin!
