                  Q  &  A

March 12th, 2012

 

QUESTION:   The Bill Anderson and David Allen Coe recording of "Get A Little Dirt On Your Hands" is one of my favorites. My dad says that song was on the radio by Anderson years before the duet recording. Is that true?

 

 

ANSWER:      Bill Anderson's original solo recording of "Get A Little Dirt On Your Hands" peaked at # 14 in 1962. He re-recorded the song with David Allen Coe in 1980 and their duet version topped out at # 46.

 

                                     ^^^^^^^^^^^

 

This day in 1990 - Vern Gosdin's Columbia album "Chiseled In Stone" was certified gold by the RIAA. Columbia released 5 of the songs on this album as singles, including "Set 'Em Up Joe" and the title cut.

 "Q & A" is a by-product of our weekly "Country Music Classics" newsletter. NO - it does NOT replace the weekly newsletter--it is simply an addition--due to the large number of questions received each week that I do not have room for in the weekly newsletter. Subscribers receive BOTH the weekly newsletter and the daily Q & A---because I do not maintain two separate mailing lists.  If you wish to unsubscribe- send a blank email to:
