Honky-Tonk Memories
Janie Brannon
Hillside
Here is the first solo CD by a very talented vocalist who has been on so many Nashville recording sessions as a background vocalist. Her name is Janie Brannon and her album is loaded with 13 tunes of Texas dance hall and country music. The back-up band consists of some wonderful musicians.
The album features four legendary steel guitar players, Lloyd Green, Weldon Myrick, Jay Dee Maness and Gary Carpenter and two very hot fiddle players, Dale Morris, Jr. and Buddy Spicher. Lloyd also plays Dobro. Ray Edenton, Steve Chapman and Jay Lacy play acoustic guitar. Jay is also playing electric guitar, as is Jimmy Capps, Jimmy Colvard and Grady Martin. John Rains and recently deceased legend, Buddy Harman are the drummers. Pig Robbins, Tony Migliore and Tim Alexander are the pianists while Leon Rhodes and Harold Bradley play tic-tac bass. Bob Moore and Justin Trevino are the bassists. Janie, as well as Dottie DeLeonibus and Amber Digby do background vocals.
The album opens with Buddy Mize’s composition Honky-Tonk Memories. Also in that style and from Buddy’s pen is Workin’ my Way Through a Heartache. Other Texas dance hall sounds are Justin Trevino''s Stranger in Our Home and two gems written by Lou Rochelle and Doodles Owens, the Darrell McCall classic There’s Still a Lot of Love in San Antone and the lesser known gem, I am Love. Janie does a true classic Tennessee Waltz, from the pens of Pee Wee King and Redd Stewart. This was a huge multi-million Patti Page hit as well as a hit for Pee Wee’s band with Redd on vocal and a young Roy Ayres on steel guitar. Also from Patti Page, Janie borrows Vaughn Horton’s Mockingbird Hill. This was also originally a huge duet hit for Elton Britt and Rosalie Allen. Then there are the country sounds, Merle Haggard’s I’ve Got a Yearning, Dallas Frazier and Doodles Owens Let Your Lovin’ do the Talkin’ and the Jeanne Pruett classic, Satin Sheets. The final three tunes in the album are also country, Hooked on a Feelin’, Let’s Be Friends, Not Lovers and I Don’t Believe You’re Ever Comin’ Home.
