Led by guitarist Jerry Forney, this family band hailed from Hopkins, Missouri, a tiny town on the state's northeastern border with Iowa. Although Jerry Forney later focussed on blues music, his early career was in Nashville, where he landed a spot in Charlie Rich's band, straight out of high school. He was working in Nashville when he cut this country-flavored album with his brother Phil, backed by an elite crew of Music City session players (and possibly a few folks from home). Half the songs are Forney originals, including one song co-written with George Couts, and another original credited to "Sonny and Lindsey," as well as a cover of Rusty Weir's "Don't In Make You Wanna Dance," a Bob Wills tune, and a version of "High Time You Quit Your Low Down Ways." These outlaw tunes foreshadowed Jerry Forney's eventual move to Austin, where he established himself in the Texas modern blues scene.
