Cliffie Stone 

The legendary Capitol Records double bassist and more!

(Atomicat)

Cliffie may have been bad before he was good, but these hand-tooled cuts hail exclusively from the latter period. Joined by various assemblages, he plays and sings in the loose-limbed manner of a hillbilly minstrel who is of the people and wouldn't have it any other way. Six string, steel guitar, and fiddle all imprint with amiable presence.

"In comes the doctor, in comes the nurse / In comes the lady with the alligator purse."
