I used to work at Roy Head's Branding Iron saloon...my brother was his partner in the club, Cecil Scott...and today...Roy and Carolyn are still there for me...LOVE THEM!!!!
Great song, wish more people knew of it. Contact me at fxrva2@yahoo.com if you have a clean copy of this; mine is 45RPM crackly. Would also love a clean copy of a similar-era Roy Head song titled "Now you see 'em, Now you don't" written by Sterling Whipple.
Roy Head & The Traits played at our Teen Hops in the 60's in Needville, TX. Met my 1st husband at a Roy Head dance. Roy also played in Riverside Hall in East Bernard, TX. Seen him a couple of years ago at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo BBQ Cookoff. He was & still is great!!

@CARLING1840 I just found Andy on the you tube,,my girlfriend in england sent me his video,,,wow hes as good as elvis...maybe better,,,,elvis is gone ,,but Im calling Andy the prince of Rock & roll....love them both...Im telling everyone...pass on the word hes fantastic...the charisma
This wasn't from "The Urban Cowboy Days". That was starting around 1980. This was from '77. I don't agree that the Urban Cowboy sound was at all good for country music, though. But I respect your opinion.
What about the Urban Cowboy sound don't you think was good for Country Music? I loved the music from that era. Johnny Lee's " Lookin For Love " is a Classic that is still played today and I don't think that Mickey Gilley gets enough credit for his contributions to Country Music. What was really no good for Country Music was the Garth Brooks era. He brought a lot of new fans who weren't really Country fans. When Garth mania died down....(.I'll continue in next post)
..In order to keep all the new fans ( who weren't really Country fans to begin with) the powers that be in Nashville decided that they would have to change the music to do this. So, we are left with the crap that is played on so-called Country radio today. Music that is aimed toward soccer moms and teenage girls. And it really suck!!!...lol
