about

24 Starday songs recorded as duets with the original Starday artists:

Betty Amos w/ Judy & Jean - Stars of the Louisiana Hayride and Wheeling Jamboree who were among the first women to write & record their own truck driving songs. Betty was just the second woman ever recorded playing Scruggs-style banjo.

Bill Clifton - Bluegrass Hall of Famer and International Ambassador of Bluegrass Music

Rudy “Tutti” Grayzell - Rockabilly Hall of Famer and Elvis Presley’s touring mate in the mid ‘50s

Wade Jackson - Grand Ole Opry Road Show performer and author of “Don’t Be Angry,” a huge hit for his brother Stonewall Jackson

Sleepy LaBeef - Rockabilly Hall of Famer and rock and roll legend

Little Roy Lewis - Bluegrass Hall of Famer, Gospel Music Hall of Famer, Georgia Music Hall of Famer, and also the most recorded Starday artist of all-time

Jesse McReynolds - Bluegrass Hall of Famer and one of the longest tenured members of the Grand Ole Opry. Also 1/2 of the longest-lasting brother duet in country music history, Jim & Jesse.

Darnell Miller - Star of West Virginia's Saturday evening Country Jamboree TV shows and the longest-tenured member of the Wheeling Jamboree

Frankie Miller - The "Black Land Farmer" himself, star of the Louisiana Hayride and frequent Grand Ole Opry guest

Arnold Parker - Rockabilly Hall of Famer and 2018 inductee into America's Old Time Country Music Hall of Fame

Margie Singleton - Hit songwriter, renowned session vocalist, and the first woman to record a duet LP with George Jones

June Stearns - The last Smokey Mountain Girl in Roy Acuff’s band and frequent duet partner with Red Sovine, Johnny Duncan, Lefty Frizzell, and many more. She was also the first woman to duet with Pete Drake's Talking Steel Guitar

What an amazing group of country music stars!! It’s a really fun record with a lot of traditional country music, bluegrass, rockabilly, western swing, honky-tonk, and gospel music legends from the 1950s and ‘60s! I love that all of these artists are still making great music today, 50-60 years after their Starday records first came out, and I'm super excited for their fans to discover these new recordings of their Starday classics!
