Born 1927, Forest Hill, Louisiana.Barkdull's main instrument was the piano, but he may have played rhythm guitar as well, possibly at his live performances. A deep voiced Lefty Frizzell soundalike, he performed over Crowley's KSIG alongside Jimmy Newman, Jim Toth and the Kershaws. Rusty, Doug and Wiley all started recording for legendary Crowley producer Jay (or J.D., if you prefer) Miller's Feature label in 1953 or 1954.The last anyone heard of him was that he was residing in Nederland, Texas, still playing the beer joints.
