Three versions of The Arkansas Waltz, a tune Cletus was obviously proud of, are featured on this set.

From the back cover: Cletus "Slim" Jones was born and reared on a small rocky hill-side farm in central Arkansas. "I can't remember exactly how young I started singing, but I got my first guitar when I was twelve years old," Jones said.

In the years that followed he sang at all the community get-togethers, where entertainment was needed. Drafted into the U. S. Infantry at the age of 19 years. He served in combat in Europe during World War II. When He returned home he traveled with several bands doing radio programs and personal appearances throughout the state of Arkansas. "Music has always been my first love, but it seems like I have always had to do other jobs to make a living," Jones said. He loves to entertain people, and write and sing his own compositions, of which he has written many.
