Johnny Cox with Ernest Tubb

[Peter Freiberger]

I found these on YouTube from a record called "The Last Sessions: All Time Greatest Hits". Johnny Cox plays wonderful straight ahead E9. No hot licks, but great tone, supportive and tasty. Lynn Owsley is also on some from that record not listed here.

Hey Thanks ! Regarding "The Last Sessions: All Time Greatest Hits". I had a Flea Market cassette tape of 12 of those cuts, it only cost 99 cents, but the tape broke eons ago, and I was never able to identify the original recording. This is one of my favorite "records", but I haven't heard it since the tape broke more than 20 years ago. "Half Moon Bradley now"..... Love it !!

Johnny is also on at least one of Kelly Spinks CD’s, “Right Out Of This World”.
