Like Rusty and Doug Kershaw and Wiley Barkdull (already anthologised by Ace UK), Cajun Louisianan Al Terry was an early signing to Hickory. His 'career song', 'Good Deal Lucille' was the label's first hit and enough of a success for Hickory and Terry to remake the song just three years later. Both versions are included here.
Between 1955 and 1958, Terry recorded exemplary hillbilly and country, and even flirted with rockabilly, with uniformly excellent results. Besides 'Lucille', he's also remembered for gems like 'Watch Dog' and the Johnny Cash-like 'Roughneck Blue', both of which can be heard here in premium sound quality.
Also hear here are musicians of the calibre of the Kershaw brothers, Barkdull, Chet Atkins, Hank Garland, Floyd Cramer, Tommy Jackson and Al's steel guitar-playing brother Bob, who also composed many of the featured tracks under his real name of Charles Theriot.
There hasn't been an Al Terry anthology since Bear Family's vinyl album, released almost 25 years ago. We're delighted to put that right and to welcome yet another important hillbilly voice into the Ace fold.

Way Ahead of His Time!,
By ERIML "ERIML" (New Orleans) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hickory's Cajun Hillbilly (Audio CD)
It has been a long time coming for a CD from this influential Cajun singer/songwriter who was way ahead of his time. ACE has done a great job of honoring Al Terry.
