Being the fan of old country music that I am, I recently came across a couple Jimmy Newman records. "This Is Jimmy Newman", on MGM, mono, circa 1959 and "Jimmy Newman", on MGM, mono, circa 1962. The main claim to fame of these particular two records is that they are my first and only Newman material and they are in unusually good condition for the typically noisy MGM label records. Jimmy Newman was later known as Jimmy C. Newman, "C" standing for Cajun. He specialized in cajun music and was an accomplished guitar picker. He still performed up into his 80's. He and Little Jimmy Dickens were regulars on the Grand Ole Opry until they passed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_C._NewmanHis style was unique enough that I feel no country music library would be complete without some of his material. His material is hard to find in this neck of the woods. I came across these records at an auction right across the street from our house. Jimmy Newman was one of the few country artists whose career survived without his embracing the Nashville Sound. You won't hear strings or French horns on Jimmy C. Newman records.
Another feature of the 1962 record I mentioned above is that is has "Sail On, Silv'ry Moon" on one side. I didn't know words to that song existed. I always figured it was an instrumental number made famous by the Billy Vaughn orchestra.
