In the meantime, if you are in Europe, I would recommend purchasing the LP via Bear Family Records.
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 Betty Amos w/ Judy & Jean: Betty Amos is an accomplished singer, a hit songwriter, and just the second woman recorded playing three-finger, Scruggs-style banjo. She was a star of the Louisiana Hayride in the mid-50s and sang on many of the early hit records by the Carlisles. In the early 1960s she formed a trio with her best friend Judy and her sister Jean and they were signed as members of the Wheeling Jamboree. Between 1964 and 1967 Starday released eight of their 45s and also published many original tunes written by Betty, including Second Fiddle (To an Old Guitar). Moves to New York and Pennsylvania brought the group to a halt in the early 1970s, though they regrouped in Nashville in the early 2000s and continue to perform as a trio.
