From Lynn's wiki page: Judy Lynn Kelly (April 16, 1936 – May 26, 2010), who performed as Judy Lynn and was born Judy Lynn Voiten, was an American country music singer and beauty queen who was crowned Miss Idaho in 1955.

Lynn was born in Boise, Idaho. As a teenager she joined a nationwide tour of Grand Ole Opry performers. She was hired to fill in for Jean Shepard, who had become ill during the tour. She soon married her manager and for over 20 years her show was a staple piece of the Las Vegas strip, featuring her brand of Country Music in dazzling Nudie costumes. Lynn retired from the music business in 1980 to become a Christian minister. She died on May 26, 2010 after suffering congestive heart failure at her home in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

Back Home - Red Creech

Burning Bridges
Back Home
Red Creech
Clark County Records
Central Recording Studio - Middletown, Ohio

Steel Guitar: Chubby Howard
Fiddle: Billy Thomas
Drums: Roy Cook
Bass: Steve Lake
Piano: David Creech
Background Vocals: Pam Temple
Lead Guitar, Acoustic Guitar and Banjo: Red Creech

From the back cover: Red was very persistent over the years in learning to play the guitar. This persistence paid off when John Lair of the Renfro Valley Barn Dance heard him and offered him a job on the barn dance. He was to be a member of the staff as a back up guitarist. Liking his playing, Mr. Lair discovered Red could sing, then he was given a featured spot as a vocalist.

The barn dance job also led to a job on the well known Renfro Valley Sunday Morning Gatherin, a program heard through out most of the U.S. and Canada. Said to be the second oldest continuing radio program in the U.S. As well as playing guitar on this program, Red was also asked to sing in the Home Folks Quartet, a gospel group formed by John Lair for the sunday morning program.

From the back cover: Oh! You wanted to know what reason we had for putting the prehistoric caveman on the cover of our album. The reason is… mmm… now that I think about it, there is no reason. Oh well, I guess that's just one of the advantages of being independent. Hey! Don't forget to turn off the stereo!

Pure Gold - Mel Gaynor

It's Not Unusual
Delila
Pure Gold
Presenting The Golden Voice Of Mel Gaynor
1978

From the back cover: Mel has, what is termed as a "clean" voice. Meaning, that he does not have to resort to "gimmicks" to make his audience appreciative. All too often vocalists hide their weak finish behind the volume of the orchestra.

The "skip" heard in the sample, It's Not Unusual is rather part of the recording session that wasn't edited out. This, I assume unintended effect, is heard on several tracks.
