Daily Find – On My Harley Davidson by Billy Joe Ryder (Joe Maddux) – Country 45

Daily Discovery - On My Harley Davidson b/w Harley Freedom by Billy Joe Ryder (Joe Maddux) - Country 45 on Mx Records #0001

I don't know if this was a Harley Davidson store giveaway but it definitely sounds like an advertisement to me. I couldn't find any information on this country tune. This one is for the bikers & motorcycle mamas!

Daily Find – You’ll Just Waste Your Life by The Singing Cherokee – Country 45

Daily Discovery - You'll Just Waste Your Life b/w Losing You by The Singing Cherokee - Country 45 on Las Vegas Records #1046

I just had to share the art work on this label. This label jumped out at me instantly! Pictured is a tourist with drink in hand on an umbrella lounge chair by the pool. The cowboy on horseback, like an old west scene, riding in the desert. Last but not least it has the Las Vegas dream hand in poker, the Royal Flush. It's one of the coolest labels I have ever found!

Daily Find – The Woodpecker by Jim & Bill – Risque Country Novelty

Daily Discovery - The Woodpecker by Jim & Bill. Country Novelty, risque 45 on Quartercash Records out of Lavergne, Tennessee. I think this was released in the late 50's but I am not sure. This one speaks for itself. Trippy!

Daily Find – Pink Cadillac by Sammy Masters & His Rocking Rhythm – Rockabilly

Daily Discovery - Pink Cadillac by Sammy Masters & His Rocking Rhythm 45 on 4 Star record label #1695. This 1957 Rockabilly tune takes you back to the era of big shiny chromed gas guzzlers. When gas was about 25 cents a gallon. Crazy! Makes you want to take a drive and listen to this country bopper.

Daily Find – Ghost Riders In The Sky by Scat Man Crothers

Daily Discovery - Ghost Riders In The Sky by Scat Man Crothers. Nice Jazz version of this Country cowboy standard. I love his very slight twist on the classic "bookety bookety boop" and breathing into the mic toward the end of the clip.
