About the project:
Starday Records was the largest independent country music record label in the 1950s and ‘60s, releasing a lot of incredible traditional country music, honky-tonk, rockabilly, bluegrass, gospel, and western swing. As my friends know, I’ve been obsessed with Starday Records for many years; I even wrote a book about the label called The Starday Story: The House That Country Music Built (University Press of Mississippi).
In recent years, I've wanted to shine an even brighter light on the music itself, specifically on the many Starday artists who are still alive and still making great music today. So I decided to travel around the country and make a record with some of my all-time favorite Starday artists. Along the way I worked with some incredible musicians including Marty Stuart, Kenny Vaughan, Chris Scruggs, and many more.
SO WHAT'S ON THE RECORD?
24 Starday songs recorded as duets with the original Starday artists:
- Betty Amos w/ Judy & Jean - Stars of the Louisiana Hayride and Wheeling Jamboree who were among the first women to write & record their own truck driving songs. Betty was just the second woman ever recorded playing Scruggs-style banjo.
- Bill Clifton - Bluegrass Hall of Famer and International Ambassador of Bluegrass Music
- Rudy “Tutti” Grayzell - Rockabilly Hall of Famer and Elvis Presley’s touring mate in the mid ‘50s
- Wade Jackson - Grand Ole Opry Road Show performer and author of “Don’t Be Angry,” a huge hit for his brother Stonewall Jackson
- Sleepy LaBeef - Rockabilly Hall of Famer and rock and roll legend
- Little Roy Lewis - Bluegrass Hall of Famer, Gospel Music Hall of Famer, Georgia Music Hall of Famer, and also the most recorded Starday artist of all-time
- Jesse McReynolds - Bluegrass Hall of Famer and one of the longest tenured members of the Grand Ole Opry. Also 1/2 of the longest-lasting brother duet in country music history, Jim & Jesse.
- Darnell Miller - Star of West Virginia's Saturday evening Country Jamboree TV shows and the longest-tenured member of the Wheeling Jamboree
- Frankie Miller - The "Black Land Farmer" himself, star of the Louisiana Hayride and frequent Grand Ole Opry guest
- Arnold Parker - Rockabilly Hall of Famer and 2018 inductee into America's Old Time Country Music Hall of Fame
- Margie Singleton - Hit songwriter, renowned session vocalist, and the first woman to record a duet LP with George Jones
- June Stearns - The last Smokey Mountain Girl in Roy Acuff’s band and frequent duet partner with Red Sovine, Johnny Duncan, Lefty Frizzell, and many more. She was also the first woman to duet with Pete Drake's Talking Steel Guitar
- What an amazing group of country music stars!! It’s a really fun record with a lot of traditional country music, bluegrass, rockabilly, western swing, honky-tonk, and gospel music legends from the 1950s and ‘60s! I love that all of these artists are still making great music today, 50-60 years after their Starday records first came out, and I'm super excited for their fans to discover these new recordings of their Starday classics!

More on Rudy Grayzell:
As a young man, Rudy Grayzell loved two things: baseball and country music. And girls. OK, three things. He began his music career recording country music for Abbott Records, then two years later signed with Capitol Records and began singing rock and roll. But when Rudy signed with Starday Records in 1956, he recorded his wildest rockabilly sides for the label and landed a touring gig with rising superstar Elvis Presley. His Starday sides may have limited Rudy's ability to consistently play country music or baseball, but they solidified his legacy among rockabilly fans and earned him a spot in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. In both of our recordings here, Rudy mentions my Swelltune Records single, "Duck Butt," and it cracks me up every time.
