Willie Jones

Using the lyrics to “Actually Tho’,” a songwriting triumvirate truly produced a touch on what pathetic being in love could be when one may be the subject of the country & western song: “Well even tho’ you took sunlight out of my heaven, even tho’ you took the twinkle out of my eyes/Oh I’ll always be deeply in love with you my darling, even tho’ I sit and question if I’m wise.” The group behind this performing sob was Webb Pierce, Curt Peeples, and Willie Jones. Pierce experienced a long, effective profession and was among the kings from the honky tonk audio and a outstanding balladeer. The partnership between Peeples and Jones exercises back to the first ’50s, when both men initiated an unbiased record label known as Stampede out of Kemah, TX. “Also Tho'” was a smash strike, resulting in cover variations by a number of performers, including guitarist Chet Atkins with an instrumental strategy and Connie Smith informing the female aspect of the tale. The songwriting group also developed “Go on and Make Me Cry,” a far more unpleasant follow-up, despite the fact that the probability of another “Also Tho'” were slender. The Stampede documenting enterprise also hardly ever really resulted in a container of precious metal, although nation scholars will surely wind up looking into a number of the label’s catalog. The amazing nation performer Glenn Barber cut his initial aspect ever for Stampede in 1952, “You Took the Twinkle Out of My Superstars.” Smokey Stover burnt through a complete of three 78s over the label prior to starting up his very own Ol’ Podner imprint. For Willie Jones, an musician with this name in nation has even more to get worried about than simply getting confusing with another performer. Not merely may be the “Also Tho” Jones not similar man as the German nation and folk-rock performer from the same name, he also offers nothing in connection with the main topic of a Bobby Bare melody entitled “Willie Jones.”
