On the CMH label, released in 1980 with a lot of songs that have been released before. By now, Carl and Pearl's career had really slowed down. Alot of the songs on this LP are re-issues that were on some of their Columbia records.
The first song on the LP is "Motel Song", the only single released from this LP. It was backed with "Blues Stay Away From Me". "Honky Tonkitis" is a re-release yet its changed up pretty well. It sounds nothing like the original but its still a great tune!
"My Joy" is a great song that finds Carl in great voice. That powerful voice that he has is very prevelant. This song is about a Daddy who misses his little girl and takes her to run off with her but he changes his mind and takes her back home. My favorite tune on the LP.
The song list is:
Side 1
Motel Song
Honky Tonkitis
My Joy
I Never Had The One That I Wanted
If Teardrops Were Pennies
Blues Stay Away From Me
Side 2
Don't Let Me Cross Over
Mrs. Right's Divorcing Mr Wrong
I'm So Afraid of Losing You Again
Paul's Saloon
The One You Slip Around With
I Hope We Walk The Last Mile Together
The musicians on this LP are Jimmy Capps guitars, Buddy Harman drums, Dave Kirby on guitars, Billy Linneman on Bass, Jeff Newman on Steel Guitar and Dobro, Pete Wade on guitars, Bruce Watkins on Banjo and Fiddle and Jerry Whitehurst on Piano.
Another great record by Mr. and Mrs. Country Music! If you're in the mood for some REAL Country, this is it!
Until next time, Keep on HonkyTonkin'!
