CARL TANNER and IVENA BUCKINS and the Southern Pine Boys

Jun 56 (BMI clearance on 20th July 56)

45-568-A - Together You And Me

(Tanner) (Starrite BMI)

45-568-B - We're In Love

(Tanner / Buckins) (Starrite BMI)

A second offering from Carl, this time supported by one Ivena Buckins. A side is a slow hillbilly disc with sawing fiddles and Carl & Ivena take turns in singing portions of the song. Ivena's voice is a little flat here and there - (in fact, Carl struggles a little too - almost like the key is slightly too low for him to sing in.). The flip side is taken at a breath-taking tempo, with both singers sound much more comfortable with the song. The band cook up a storm throughout this side. (MC)

Another pleasant hillbilly disc which kinda borders on a rockabilly feel, especially with the lovely guitar solo on the A side, but he struggles vocally with the slower tempo of the flip. Carl was a semi-regular presence on the "Peach State Jamboree" on WJAT from 8:15pm 'til Midnight and MC'd by Johnnie Bailes. He has another release on this label coming up later (# 568). (MC)
