ALVADEAN COKER

ABBOTT 163

WITCHE’S WALTZ                                                                          71

A cute side, the ditty will appeal to youngsters. Miss Coker projects it effectively. Country deejays should spin some.

SUGAR DOLL                                           67

Swingy item is handed an okay reading by the thrush.

ALVADEAN COKER

ABBOTT 167

FUNNY LITTLE THINGS                            75

The country thrush brings warmth and style to this cute material. She has a pleasant voice over which she has excellent control

PINNOLO THE PUPPY                               69

While Miss Coker comes thru with another fine reading here, the lyric is closer to kiddie material than anything, and consqently will have less general appeal.

STANLEY COKER BAND (Sic)

ABBOTT 171

MEADOWLARK MELODY                          71

The Coker band presents one of the prettiest instrumentals to hot the market in quite a while. It is played here by steel guitar over a rocking bass figure. Good juke box item.

TOSS OVER                                                                                   71

Another fine instrumental with a solid beat and a pleasant melody. The fancy fiddling adds to its attractions as a dance record.

ABBOTT 184

SANDY COKER

DECCA 30534

HONKY TONK FREEZE                             67

Coker renders an electric guitar solo with rhythm accompaniment. Tune is a moderate paced blues that could win some juke support. Payoff chances appear slim, however.

UNDER COVER                                        65

Mournful minor key blues instrumental with Coker in the spotlight with electric guitar soloing. Side has a boogie woogie framework. Possible juke fare.
