LEDBETTER, BILLY

"Stealing Hubcaps" / "My Little Dream Girl"

1961

MISC NOTES:

Although the label # (105) on this disc fits into the Northwest-based GRC label's numbering sequence, it is doubtful that these recordings were/are on the local label.

Billy Ledbetter came from Louisiana. There was a GRC label from Georgia on which he had earlier released a 45 featuring "The Heart Of A Lion" / "Something You Got" (#101). Both of those tunes had been recorded in Monroe, LA.
