STUCK IN THE VINYL AGAIN - LITTLE JIMMY DICKENS - LITTLE JIMMY DICKENS'S GREATEST HITS

[maggot]

Good Sunday morning gang and welcome back to Stuck In The Vinyl Again. We hope your Christmas was a great one. Every year when we start the Christmas selections we miss people and occasions that occur during that time, so we thought it would be nice to catch up on some of those this week.  First up is West Virginia born country music singer and songwriter, Little Jimmy Dickens, who would have celebrated his 101st Birthday last Sunday (12/19/21). He passed away in 2015, age 94, a few days after suffering a stroke on Christmas. He is truly missed. We honor his legacy by spinning this 1966 Columbia greatest hits compilation, Little Jimmy Dickens' Greatest Hits. The LP peaked at #39 on the Country Albums chart.
