King Records Pt. 1
Manage episode 284585317 series 2802227
We begin our 8 part series on Ohio's great, eclectic record label King Records, started and owned by the wonderfully colorful and irascible Syd Nathan. We begin with Syd's journey into the record business and King's early years recording country singers like Grandpa Jones, the Delmore Brothers, and Merle Travis. We'll get to his entry into the "race" or R&B field with recordings by Bull Moose Jackson and Wynonnie Harris. There's plenty more to come in future shows including Freddie King, the Stanley Bros. and James Brown (whew, now THAT'S eclectic!) so stick with us.
