Lee,Dickey Saw Linda Yesterday CD

Although he would become a big Country star in the 1970s and 80s, singer/songwriter Dickey Lee started out as a heads-down Rock'n'Roller in the 1950s. His first release, 'Stay True Baby', is nowadays a hugely collectable R&R rarity, as are the two 45s he cut for Sun Records in 1957/58, 'Good Lovin' / 'Memories Never Grow Old' and 'Dreamy Nights' / 'Fool, Fool, Fool'. Dickey eventually registered with a controversial death disc, 'Patches', in 1962, which he followed with the hit album, "The Tale Of Patches", the superlative, Dion-inspired, 'I Saw Linda Yesterday', and the popcorn 'Don't Wanna Think About Paula'. This compilation anthologises all his early recordings, between 1957-62, many of which are hard to find on CD. He would subsequently find his way into Country music via songwriting; included herein as a Bonus track is Dickey's first major success as a songwriter, George Jones' effortlessly magnificent 'She Thinks I?Still Care'.
