Together with Buddy Emmons, Dobro-player Shot Jackson revolutionized the country music world with their development of the "Sho-Bud" Pedal Steel Guitar. Later, even while performing on the Grand Ole Opry and touring with Roy Acuff, Jackson established a guitar store on Broadway in downtown Nashville.

2) Guitar Country - flip of 3. with Chet Atkins.
3) Waiting For the Evening Train - 1963 RCA single.Anita Kerr and her Singers were used as backup on the Decca label from 1951 to 1960. From 1960 to 1966 it was tha RCA label and the heyday of the Nashville Sound, of which they were an integral part. Here they numbered four and were named The Anita Kerr Quartet. Later they moved to other labels like Dot. In 1960 the quartet recorded some singles on the University label, using the name The Little Dippers for contract reasons. They had a hit with a vocal of "Forever". But the label apparently used a different quartet for touring shows and for the record cover. And apparently before they finished on Decca they rerecorded Forever there for an album under their own name. If so, that would be the LP "For You, For Me, Forevermore".
Pete Drake later made an instrumental hit of Forever, probably using the good old AK Quartet as backup there too.
