We are going to have a ton of fun with this episode. Well 16 tons. Ah. That was too easy.
This is the only album my dad has of this great singer. But, it’s obviously the most important one from his releases.
This artist was really a radio personality at heart, but when producers discovered that deep voice of his, well, the rest is history.
So get ready to hear one of the truly great voices of pop music from the mid 20th century in Volume 236: Tennessee Tons.
For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
