Searching For A Lost Curtis Potter Album
A reader by the name of Bruce helped us find the Mundo Earwood album that we were looking for and now he needs our help finding a lost album of his own. Bruce is searching for an album by another Western Swing artist by the name of Curtis Potter. This guy definitely knows how to sing country music, so I emphatically recommend that you go listen to some of his songs if you haven’t heard him. Even though Curtis Potter is still actively recording (he released an album in 2006), an album called Texas Proud that he recorded seems to have gone missing. Bruce tells us that the only reason he knows this particular album exists is because he has the cassette. Unfortunately, he liked the tape so much that he wore it out playing it too much and is left with the nonfunctional shell. That right there is a pretty convincing testimonial of how good Curtis really is.
My searches on the album turned up just enough remnants of evidence to confirm that the album did exist and Bruce isn’t lying (like I ever had any doubt). I emailed a couple of people inquiring about it, but I didn’t receive any responses. I believe the album was released by Hillside Records in 1981. So if anyone has any information, be sure to leave a comment or send us any email. Like last time, I will send a free CD to anyone that can help us acquire this album.
