Hear 1967 Vernon Oxford DJ M- 45 That's the Way I Talk / Roll Big Wheels Roll
Vernon Oxford - That's the Way I Talk b/w Roll Big Wheels Roll (RCA 9372). Good Fall of 1967 release by the Arkansas born singer and guitarist who first found notice playing in the Kansas City area. In 1965, he met Harlan Howard, who got him signed to RCA Victor and helped him find material to record. He then released seven singles and one LP, Woman Let Me Sing You a Song; none of them charted, and he was soon dropped from RCA. His career saw a resurgence in Britain, where he was first rediscovered in the middle of the 1970s. A best-of was issued there in 1974, and RCA signed him again to tour there. His hit singles "Shadows of My Mind", "Redneck (The Redneck National Anthem)", and "A Good Old Fashioned Saturday Night Honky Tonk Barroom Brawl" (U.S. Country No. 55, 1977) reinvigorated his career in America; in Britain, he was well known for "I've Got to Get Peter Off Your Mind" and "Field of Flowers". Take a listen to a little of each side. DJ copy. Record is in M- condition.
