There are lots of small regional labels that put out records like this. Many from the South with the featured artist in the gaudiest, most tacky, showbiz outfit. Often with the touring bus in the background. But this one that Tony laid on me out of the blue transcends the ordinary and defines the genre for me. Such is Willis Wade. Isn’t he fabulous!
Now I gotta find a copy. Anyone?

Cruz control
“Nicky Cruz was running wild on a one-way street to the electric chair and hell! Millions know him from The Cross and the Switchblade as well as his own book Run Baby Run. Nicky Cruz shares his full life story on this special record. ”
Nice primitive painting of a multiple murder juxtaposed by the sunny, smiling face of former JD, born again Cruz. Kids do the craziest things sometimes.

A real mother for ya
This is Dorothy Freyberger’s second record. She got her start at the Minnesota State Fair. (I was at the state fair last year! Unfortunately, Dorothy wasn’t performing but you could get a wide range of foods on a stick, pet the livestock and have all the fresh milk you could drink for just one dollar.) Dorothy kicks off this sophmore release with “Big Momma.” Some other tracks of note, “Too Old to Cut the Mustard” and “Big Fat Gal” round out a session of standards.

There’s a strange sub-genre of covers capturing the artist’s portrait in glass. Reflections appearing like images in a crystal ball. Here are two examples, one from Mexico the other a polka record. The power of alcohol to summon the ghosts of performers stretches from the Rio Grande to the Pennsylvania Dutch.
