MAJESTIC 6008-6009
It’s spirited singing and playing that Dewey
Price brings to his first sides on this label. His outdoor tendering assisted
by a male trio with pert rhythms provided by guitars, mandolins and fiddles of
his Blue Ridge Mountain Boys, Price rings the bell with each of the sides.
Takes it at a lively clip for AIR MAIL SPECIAL ON THE FLY, backing with a top
torcher in SOLD DOWN THE RIVER as he and the trio sing of their broken hearts
in the sea of broken dreams. It’s a fast three-quarter tempo for Fred Kirby’s
OUT OF MY MIND, the lovers complaining of the girl who broke their heart, and
back to the lively rhythmic beats for I’M GONNA BLOW OUT THE LAMP, their
harmonies telling that that they won’t wait for their gal any longer.
