Charlie Feathers
Sun Records Originals: Bottle To the Baby
(Sun)
Those familiar with only Charlie's hiccupped yelping for Meteor, King, and subsequent labels will be given pause by his more subdued decorum on these previous Sun recordings. The Mississipi-birthed tenor rendered bucolic melodies with living-room assuredness, and easily paired quivering phrasing with austere instrumentation that included fiddle and piano in addition to his acoustic strummings. Such primitive Honky Tonk is in Rockabilly's blood.
