Boomer Castleman at the Water Tank, Austin TX - "Judy Mae"

Boomer Castleman, is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist from Farmers Branch, Texas. "Judy Mae" hit the US charts in 1975 peaking at #33.

Castleman is also the inventor of the palm pedal, a device that allow guitar players to execute pedal steel-style string bends. He made his original prototype in 1968, and the device is now marketed under the name Bigsby Palm Pedal. The original patent has expired, allowing other vendors to market similar devices, but the Bigsby/Castleman version is the original.

Castleman also founded the independent country music record label BNA Records which he later sold to BMG Music.

I want every one to know that Boomer was not playing for tips that night! He was there and got up on stage because he was asked to! I can't believe I let that bucket get in my video! Geez...I'm sorry Boomer!

Great never played song that should have been released in 2009 on the Country stations this song would be a mega hit.

[LoanCougar]

I'll pass on the compliment to Boomer! I'm sure he will appreciate it!

I remember this song from 1975!! It was a VERY CONTROVERSIAL record back then because of the lyric. I remember listening to this kick ass song on my transistor radio...The only place I heard it play was on Casey's American Top 40... Thanks for this post....This is one of the most UNDERRATED songs of the 70s...Should have been a bigger hit!

[LoanCougar]

Thanks for the comment, mrob! I'll pass it on to Boomer. He'll appreciate it!

I got to know Boomer quite well while I was still a Radio Program and Music Director. Boomer told me what hurt "Judy Mae" the most was the loss of his distribution deal with Mums Records. Mums was a small label which ultimately went bankrupt about the time the song was ready to break nationally. Without the promotion and distribution, the tune lost all momentum, stalled and mid-charted. He secured another deal with another label but it was too late. The song deserved a much better fate.
