Description
This is a thrift store find. Gary Van "A Touch of Sadness" by Justice Records. Autographed on back of cover.
Satisfaction guaranteed. I am not a record expert. I bought this because they looked neat. No idea as to the value. You can decide for yourself.
Once again, all are autographed on back cover.
Here is what I found about the gentleman online.
Gary Van (nee Gary Vanlandingham, 1939-1980) was a late-'50 rockabilly rebel and '60s/'70s honkytonk bandleader from Dallas, Texas who exemplified the hard-working, below-the-radar Texas twang artists of the pre-outlaw era. Gary Van crisscrossed the Lonestar State, toured regionally and nationally, did county fairs, prison shows, NCO tours and the like, while also starting his own label (Justice Records) and hosting a syndicated TV show. His band on this album was packed with East Texas locals, including Billy Braddy, Al Posey, Tommy Hargrove and Mac McRae. They play mostly cover tunes of old heartsongs and honkytonk classics, with just one original song, co-written by Gary Van, the timely and topical "Never From Viet Nam," which is basically a patriotic recitation song. Van can be an iffy singer, getting a little "jazzy" singing along with the electric guitar riffs and not always nailing the rhythm correctly. But still, it's a charming and undeniably authentic real-folks country record. I haven't been able to determine exactly when this album came out, but I think the most recent song on it was Dottie West's "What's Come Over My Baby," which came out in 1966, so I'd guess '66 or '67 on this one.
