hillbilly country ~ Detroit 1950

I first heard 'The Tattooed Lady' played during 'The Dr. Demento Show' on KFAT, a radio station out of Gilroy, California. Spent years trying to find it, mostly at record shows.

Recorded in Detroit, this is Skeet's first record and recording, pressed on 78 and 45 rpm in 1950.
Skeets was originally from Arkansas, but moved to Detroit in the early 1930s.
It's amazing this record has survived this long. The flip side is, 'Mean And Evil Blues' with Johnnie White accompaniment.
A hillbilly country gem.

Somewhere in Los Angeles - Skeets in 1954.
