Description
TWO GREAT SIDES FROM EARL PETERSON - MICHIGAN'S SINGING COWBOY
THIS WAS THE FIRST "COUNTRY" ISSUE ON THE SUN LABEL
BOOGIE BLUES
b/w IN THE DARK
The label on this single hits the nail on the head - Michigan’s singing cowboy! Despite a very long 45-year career in country music as a promoter, radio station operator, artist and label owner, very little is known about Earl Peterson. In late 1952, he formed Nugget Records with his mother, basically as a means of self-releasing his music.
Whilst touting his music in the South, he met Sam Phillips and agreed to release his song on Sun Records in the spring of 1954. This bouncing, twangy single would prove to be a cult hit. As the first remotely contemporary country single on the label, Peterson’s single paved the way for Sun to later pivot into the country genre.
