Porter WAGONERA Rare Slice Of Country
At one time dubbed 'The Thin Man From West Plains',
Porter Wagoner was born in Missouri in 1927 (or 1930, as other sources quote)
and spent his youth immersed in the Depression and rural poverty of the 1930s.
At an early age, Porter's father was crippled by arthritis and the need to work
on the family farm meant that his education was severely curtailed.This
compilation is particularly interesting as the first ten tracks date from the
earliest days of his career, before he was an established recording star. The
Hank Williams influence is unmistakable and they show a star-in-the making
before he had carved out his own later flamboyant persona.
