Dora Hall Sings Pop Country

King Of The Road

Dora Hall Sings Pop Country
Cozy Records, Chicago, IL
SP-102

The songs were arranged & conducted by H. B. Barnum, Stu Phillips and Jimmy Haskell.

Dora Hall has been deemed the "Queen" of vanity entertainment. Hall was married to Leo Hulseman, the founder of the immensely successful Solo Cup Company. Apparently Leo was happy to finance dozens of record releases for Dora, all of which were given away free of charge with packages of plastic cups and plates during the 1960's. This information comes from a website dedicated to Hall: http://dorahall.tvheaven.com/

From the back cover: Her versatility is recognized by her outstanding renditions of both Rock and Roll and Pop-Country music. Dora Hall is an exponent of today's young sound. Her warm understanding of today's youth is reflected in her songs.

LPS101

From the back cover: ...a band of eight young men whose music appeals to kids who like a solid rock beat and adults who are attracted to the melodic line. In the eight months since this group has formed they have performed at such spots as Phipps Auditorium, The Haytt House, The Hilton Hotel, Crestmore Country Club, numerous high school dances, and a reception for the Vice President of the United States. In the 1967 Denver Teen Fair they managed to place among the 7 semifinalists of the nearly 180 bands that originally entered, and walked away with a special award.

Burgundy Stereo LP #001

From the back cover: There are many singers that come to Music City every year. Very few have the talent and guts to stick it out. Henry Lewis happens to have both of these unique qualities.

Dave Baney Hits The Mark

Dave Baney Hits The Mark

The Mark may have a room on The Delta Queen(?). The jacket notes were written by Vic Tooker, Musical Director For The Delta Steamboat Company.

Online references to Baney are few and far between. Incredibly, I blogged another earlier local press, Up Up and Away featuring Dave playing a local club with his brothers.

I found a commercial CD online attributed to a Dave Baney, So In Love With Jazz Guitar. I also found a photo of the artist that looks sort of like the photo of Baney found on the back cover of this LP.

Baney was a seasoned standup comic and guitarist. This LP is basically his act, stand-up and all. I chose the one track that features his excellent guitar playing.

This is an Elvis tribute album. The covers are OK. Nothing shocking to sample from. However, the last track on the B side was written by Eric Clark (lead guitar, piano and back-up) and sung in Paavola's "real" voice. There is a charming simplicity to this track that caught my attention.
