I Heard The Bluebirds Sing - The Browns RCA Victor 78RPM 1957

[SSOverlander]

What a treat to stuble across your post. One of my favorite old country songs too. Only have it on an old vynle "Pick of the Country" album that my dad played over and over. Sometimes when the party gets a glow on my sister and I give it a go and stumble through the lyrics. Thank you from SSOverlander

@SSOverlander So glad U enjoyed!!! I really love having this on 78! I can't believe how many people have watched and enjoyed this! So Cool! Keeps this record alive.

That is not just good, that is fantastic, Gary

As well as the excellent harmony singing, I always liked the guitar solo. I heard Chet Atkins was the producer, and he came up with the solo, but it was actually Grady Martin who played it.

Sometimes newer and slicker isn't necessarily better. Nothing like looking over my dad's shoulder in our '55 ford and seeing the green glow from that Philco AM radio and hearing the Grand Ol' Opry through one 6" speaker. You can't digitize that. Thanks for the song, clicks, pops and all!

[RaymondTVinyl]

@jimirsaysbuddy You are most Welcome my friend! So glad U enjoyed my vid and thank you for the VERY nice comment!

My favorite country song -- the video of Jim Ed and Maxine singing this comes and goes here on YT -- the next time I catch it on here, I'm definitely making a copy for myself before it's taken down -- lol!

Now that's what I call real country music, and that RCA is clear as a bell.

Great old machine, & sounds great too! I love the way you start the reject cycle!

[kirtley2010]

im going to be looking for a copy of this song on 78 from now on great record :)

[RaymondTVinyl]

Thank U Kirtley

@kirtley2010 If it can be found Buckaroo records is a GOOD place to look,I found an original copy of Freddy Hart Drink up and go Home there

[dewey70]

Oh yeah, just thought of something--if you watch Walk the Line, after Johnny and Viv have gotten married and he's fixing to go door-to-door selling, you see one of these in their bedroom.

[dewey70]

Wow, it sounds great!! Also noticed the change cycle was much gentler than some other RCA 78 changers I've seen. What a great song!! Does it use a steel needle or a stylus?

[RaymondTVinyl]

Hey Dewey...thought you would enjoy this! The original cartridge was a steel type needle. This one is a modern stylus. Using the 78 needle. I'm curious how long it'll last. :-)

[RCALennon]

I love it when players turn out to be as much fun as this one is for you. The sound is very good.

[CrisVangel]

Sweet song on such a nice machine! VEry nice!

[JeffN727]

That record looks like its never been played! Cool song!

[bluenazz]

Great record Raymond! It sounds so much older than 1957, very traditional.

[desoto1961]

That is so cool !! Love the record and the player sounds great !! Glad I could help with the reject magic !!!

[VinylLad]

I like this early country, when did RCA stop making 78s? Do you know? That certainly looks like a late 1950s issue.

[RaymondTVinyl]

Hey Dillon...I'm told 78's stopped in 1958. They become harder to find from 56 on. Which is why I was so amazed to find this on 78. Cool!

[RockinEd]

@VinylLad They stopped in 1958--the last issue was Elwood Pretzel's One Night/I Got Stung 20-74??

[sideshowtink]

That is SO wonderful! Thank Goodness for DeSoto to show us how to use all these wonderful record players!! The sound on that player is fabulous!

[chompo7]

playing a 78 on the right player is the key.you are hearing it the correct way

with these vintage machines
