Null) w/ Jim Cole JEALOU S LOVE (Brown) HOW MANY TEARS (Terry Adams) THE DEVIL'S DOLL (Cindy Walker) For quite awhile there the Skeeter-Chet-Sholes-Nipper team were cr anking out some great stuff. (Not to slight Felton and Ronny, there's plenty of fun stuff on all of those many many albums, now most all sadly O.O.P.) Then came the evil country & po p border patrol agents, each accusing her of stylistic treason, yet Skeeter remained very much herself for her entire run. Pop? Country? Who cares? It's all Skeeter. Her super-sin cere, clear-as-glass, strikingly rural, and hugely distinctive vocal style won my heart long ago.
