Does anyone know who the musicians were on Curly's album?

Roger,
Just spoke w/ pianist,Bill Pursell. He played on it,but couldn't remember who else did,because of the time element involved.(Mid-60's)
I could be wrong but,I suspect it may have been Bob Moore:bass,Buddy Harman:drums,& Grady Martin:guitar

Smiley, your post may be correct as Pete Drake produced this album and He used these guys quite alot on albums he produced.
