Previously unlisted Rite pressing.   Posted by Howdy HERE    Side A info found at Arkansas 45 RPM Records  





Miss Lois Powell's "Woo-Ee-Baby", an unissued acetate recorded in Little Rock, was issued by Cees Klop on "41 Years Collector Records - 40 Was Not Enough"  (CLCD 4550).  You can listed to this song at YouTube HERE.  She sounds a little like Wanda Jackson.


A Lois Powell, "Western gal singer" was signed to the short-living Enterprise Records in 1946.  Same "gal"?

Billboard, Feb. 9, 1946

Finally, I found two songs penned by Lois Powell in the BMI database both published by Bolivar Music Co. : 

     1.     Honkey Tonk Town,
     2.     Juke Box Blues      

Searching the names of the three musicians listed on the label leads to nowhere.

  2. I've heard only "He Taught Me How To Yodel" from this album. Good yodel and I like Miss Delaney voice. Probably from 1973.

  3. If this is indeed her, she is in good company on Enterprise Records, Rudy Valee' was huge (although a bit past his prime as a singer when enterprise was formed).

  4. Head here for more info (when it gets posted up) http://favorite45.blogspot.com/2013/01/i-cant-think-of-nothing-baby.html. I talked with Charles Powell the lead guitarist. He actually sang Juke Box Blues for me, very cool. The Lois Powell on Enterprise was a different Lois Powell.
