A few months back I bought a Capitol double LP from the early 60's that featured songs by all of their country artist roster at the time and "All of The Monkeys Ain't in The Zoo" is fortunately one of the cuts. I definitely need to hear more! My favorite Merle Haggard album is "Let Me Tell You About a Song" and its the stories that Hag tells about Tommy on that album that help make it so special. Merle's spoken word recitation of a poem Tommy wrote titled "The Funeral" is about as emotionally moving as anything I've ever heard (although "Doc Brown" on the same album gives it a run for its money). Any songwriter who is that highly revered by The Hag deserves to not be forgotten.... I'm looking forward to any more articles you may write on the forgotten artists like Tommy and Wynn who helped forge the Bakersfield Sound. The Maddox Brothers and Rose, Ferlin Husky (as mentioned above), and Jean Shepherd all played their parts.... Great article, Paul.

I've been waiting for this entry in the series and it didn't disappoint. I especially appreciate the Discography section, since I didn't know exactly where to look after <i>The Capitol Collection</i>. Great article, Paul.
