CLASSIC MAC -HARRY McCLINTOCK 78 BILLY VENERO / THE TEXAS RANGERS VICTOR 21487 E

This product data sheet is originally written in English.

AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS COUNTRY CLASSIC FROM THE LEGENDARY "MAC" AKA HARRY McCLINTOCK ON AN ORIGINAL US Victor 78

BILLY VENERO

b/w THE TEXAS RANGERS

On Thursday, March 1, 1928 Mac McClintock and Virgi Ward went into Victor’s Oakland California studio to wax their first sides. McClintock, who would be known for his Western ballads and “bum” songs cut four cowboy songs: “Get Along Little Doggies,” “Cowboy’s Lament,” “The Texas Rangers,” and “Sam Bass.”

Later that month McClintock, himself a wanderer, would record his first hobo song: “The Bum Song.” McClintock would have hits with his other hobo songs: “Hallelujah I’m a Bum” and “Big Rock Candy Mountain.” The latter song, “Big Rock” would sweep the nation with renewed popularity in 2000 with its inclusion in the “O Brother Where Art Thou” movie and soundtrack.

Billy Venero is based on the Poem "The Ride Of Paul Venarez" Written by Eben E. Rexford in 1882.

In the story Bill/Paul hears that a band of Indians is coming, and rides to tell his love Bessie Lee and her fellow ranchers. Fatally wounded, he writes a warning in his own blood. The letter is carried by his horse, and the ranch is saved

Issued on Victor 21487 A. as "Mac" (Harry McClintock) 

Recorded 31 March 1928 Oakland, CA -  Harry McClintock (vcl solo/gt).
