COUNTRY BILL

 

One of those cases where I can do little more than note a label's existence, though thanks to Magic Marmalade of the 45cat site I can at least provide scans this time.  Country Bill seems to have released just one record, a single by Lee Ivey offering versions of 'How Great Thou Art' and 'It Takes A Worried Man'; the single came out in 1979 and each side had its own discrete catalogue number, CBR-001 and CBR-002.  The 'B' side label tells us that the record was made at Forest Studios by T. Keating, but sadly Googling brings up nothing about either.  Presumably the single was privately pressed to be sold at gigs; the labels have an agreeably 'home-made' look to them.  Ivey went on to make an album and a single for Dingles Records (q.v.) in 1984, in partnership with a band called Five Cents.  The album was called 'Older Women' (DIDCO-501), while the single combined the title track and 'American Trilogy' (SID-237).
