A small independent label from 1976. Country Groove appears to have issued just the one record, 'Sweet Becky Walker' by Mack Allen Smith. Its catalogue number was CG-100. Smith first recorded for the legendary 'Sun' label, in 1959; the two songs on this single are in the Country style and were made for the American 'Delta Sound' company in the early '70s. Presumably an enthusiast licensed them for release over here. Pressing was by Phonogram. The layout of the label bears a strong resemblance to an ephemeral Rockabilly label, Red Neck (q.v.), with the same font being used for the logo. It would be reasonable to guess that the same person was behind both labels.
