LABEL: Phamous 101
TITLES: When I Was A Small Boy / l Lost My Heart
CONDITION: E-
DESCRIPTION:
Scarce release by Blind Boy Otis Glover on Houston's short lived Phamous Records from 1950. Glover is backed by an accomplished Texas country band called Old Pop Watts and His Old Plantation Melody Boys, a group sponsored by Watts company Old Plantation Sausage and heard regularly on Houston radio. Watts was a World War 1 vet going blind, and he started the Phamous label to record the blind - if not the blind leading the blind, the blind recording the blind. "When I Was A Small Boy" has snatches of the traditional song known in Texas as "Dallas County Jail", and the line about ending up "in Huntsville to wear that ball and chain" is also found in Texas songster Henry Thomas' "Run, Mollie, Run".
