A Song is Born
Here's a real little gem. This 7" LP from 1967 was a souvenir of Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame. It takes the listener on a nine minute journey through the production of an instrumental recording of "Ya'll Come". Hosted by the legendary Columbia producer Frank Jones, it features many of the great Nashville session men.
Narrator Jones begins with a brief overview of the process of arranging a "head", or improvised session. He then turns it over to a live recording of the banter between the control room and musicians.
"Some of Nashville's finest recording musicians are heard on this record. They are:
D. J. Fontana - Drums
Bobby Dyson - Bass Guitar
Joe Zinkan - String Bass
Kelso Hurston - Rhythm Guitar
Fred Carter - Electric Guitar
Bill Pursell - Piano
Tommy Jackson - Fiddle
Peter Drake - Steel Guitar
Jordanaires - Background Voices"
Includes scans of picture sleeve and labels.
Tracks are Side One and Side Two.
