Dusty Dalton, Odessa


DUSTY DALTON - Shotgun (Unique100)

As it says on the label ... "Shotgun" is by Dusty Dalton, from 1962, and from Odessa. Billboard gave it the prestigious "Moderate Sales Potential" rating in its November 3, 1962 issue. I doubt more will ever be known. Decent bopper...

This chick's got a kick like a 16-gauge shotgun

Not terribly difficult to imagine this being pitched in Bill Carlisle's direction as he was carrying on in just about the same style for Hickory records at about this time... and actually Bill did cut a song called "Shot Gun". Dusty's is better.

Ow! This is like the worst singer ever. Not as bad as Pinky Pinkston, but still ... pretty bad.
