    It's getting a little Tom & Jerry 'round here which reminds me I don't think we've got the
    delicious Tom & Jimmy on to Lat's Long List.

    They have to be on that scroll - I was playing this lovely LP only last night ( thanks Mr Strachwitz )

    Folks, please welcome Darby & Tarlton
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekjSHUNODdg


    Also due for a R3 airing. Can't just leave it to Son of Peel to carry that torch !

    Thanks Paul - we must be getting near to the 100 mark. After LJ, LNL will see if he can provide our definitive list - (Late Night) Lat.

    For a minute I thought you were called Lionel Lat - got it in the end.
    Yes indeed Darby and Tarlton - by the way talking of duets Paul I stuck Pearl and Carl Butler on the neverending from a rather interesting record of duets - I also stuck on the George Jones/Gene Pitney which I really enjoyed - never heard it before. Here's the link.

    Brilliant photo Paul - as I have said before, on an old tape of a Kershaw programme you get a mention in connection to Pearl and Carl (as opposed to Teddy and Pearl Carr ) - but that duets record has a few tracks with Kitty Wells iincluding a cracker with Hank Williams - again I hadn't heard it before - she really has a great voice that Kitty.:cool2:

    I think I may remember that programme - I'd driven down to AK's for some reason or other and just as I arrived
    the postman delivered a 2nd hand Carl Butler LP. On the album was the delicious ' Heartaches for Lunch '
    ( there's a goodbye note in the poor chap's lunchbox ... ) anyway I was musing why anyone would part with such a fine
    item and could only conclude that the owner must have died And that probably became AK's intro for
    the song on the programme. R1 couldn't afford proper researchers ...

    Enjoy !

    Many thanks to all for the latest batch. As long as my mouse hasn't slipped, and it may have done, we currently have 96 in the big Part I. For now, the recent additions are in bold. John - Marty Robbins has been "upgraded". The Kris Kristofferson track easily made it in and I have a soft spot for Nancy and Lee's "Jackson" so that is there too. I placed Lucinda's "Jackson" in Part I and "Can't Let Go" went into "Duplicates" as you clearly preferred the former. George Jones and Gene Pitney's "Why Baby Why" makes it into Part I because we haven't had Gene Pitney before. It is also an interesting combination if not quite as bizarre as Pitney's collaboration with Marc Almond. You were absolutely right about Patrick's offering of Walter Brennan with that piano. I had to have that one and it also made me laugh, in a nice way of course.

    Speaking of humour, Paul - Johnny Paycheck, wow - not a word incidentally I use in normal speech - but that was a revelation. If it wasn't for the more abominable aspects of the man, he would almost be a new musical hero. I have had a look at some of the other titles and the ones you picked out just begin to tell the story. Brilliant in a most peculiar way. Add to those titles the interesting story behind his name, his completely crazy wildness, the oddity that is "The Cave" and a distinctive voice which, for me at least, just has a slight hint of the Big O. I sort of asked myself why he had barely meant anything to me until now. The inclusion in Part I of the extraordinary "Pardon Me, I've Got Someone To Kill", was a no brainer - I don't generally say that either - and the rest have been enthusiastically added to the "Duplicates" list.

    Darby and Tarlton produced an impressive number of songs in very few years until they found they wanted to kill each other. Wikipedia is incredibly good at listing their achievements so here is the link if you and others who are interested haven't seen it before - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darby_and_Tarlton. This too is clearly Part I material as is Carl Butler's "Heartaches For Lunch". I really liked your story and the song. I managed to track down the Carl and Pearl song - da da, da da, da da, da da da da. Oh no. That is Pearl and Dean isn't it. Anyhow here it is - http://open.spotify.com/track/4elVuCOp5pp4yzobTO5thA. Then there is what I assume you and JC were referring to when discussing Hank W and Kitty Wells. First I thought it would be "Dear Brother" but I came to the conclusion that it was this one - http://open.spotify.com/track/1wj9rC8xR4q1d80E7TW38k. I have taken the liberty of adding them both to the Part I list.

    I can't say that the idea of a film of Elvises grabbed me. I am completely confused about Neville Skelly and "Case Histories". In fact, I considered The Coral first. They have a few Skellys. Are they related? What is the connection with the programme? Please enlighten me. I'm slightly sheepish about it because I swear we have discussed Neville before. I just don't know what to do with GT's "Farmer and the Mousetrap/Orange Blossom Special" by Tom Cunningham. He seems to have taken Nanci Griffith's elevator in the Woolworth store - "you know what that little sound is" - and expanded it to create a whole act. Didn't dislike it but, you know, does it belong here? As Penelope Pitstop used to say "hay-ulp". Shame that we still haven't that unique country song from Venezuela, Tazmania or Greenland. Still, there is time. Surely someone somewhere must also be able to answer the question - "Which city has produced the most popular country artist - Rome, Dusseldorf, Paris or Berne?"

    Saving the best to last, Mickey Newbury. I seem to recall him grazing the lower reaches of the charts here with "An American Trilogy" when that guy from Graceland had a hit with it or was it the other way round? No, surely the Elvis took it higher? Didn't know a great deal more. On the basis of what has been presented, he was, I think, a big talent, perhaps a Jimmy Webb with a more obvious country angle. I will almost certainly investigate further. It was a close run thing but "She Even Woke Me Up to Say Goodbye" was chosen for the Part I list while the other song went into the "Duplicates" list. Almost there, as Andy Williams once sang, as indeed did Tom Baxter in a different way. But uncharacteristically I digress. There are only four left. Take them while you can or spend forever in the dark. Theres no changin' things that we regret.

    Lat,

    The list is taking shape.
    But a classic piece that's missing is more a legend than a band
    The Flatlanders ( Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Butch Hancock, Joe Ely )
    and I'd go for ' Dallas ' - heard here in a slightly poor recording ...
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1mQvHXRlZE

    Butch H & Jimmie D toured the UK a few times in the 90's as a direct result of the excitement provided by
    AK's enthusiastic airplay & sessions' It was a thrill to have them here.

    Now as for Wilco my single ipod vote goes to their version of ' Forget The Flowers '
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TzEAWa4w1g

    My grand ol' Kitty Wells offering :
    If Teardrops Were Pennies
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OCfl...eature=related

    A surprise Loretta Lynn choice, maybe ? ( texture change is as good as ... )
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuC_l3ymXhM
    Did that bloke singing with her once switch on Blackpool illuminations?
    Well he did something there !

    Lat,

    I'm delighted you took to those Paycheck creations. Not many do !

    The Elvis impersonator doc is an excellent piece of work.
    Rewards viewing.
    Should be on ' Dave ' as John correctly points out along with ' Walking To New Orleans '
    the Jools Holland film ( I'm surprised ' Dave ' hasn't shown it. Stephen Fry makes an appearance, after all ... )
