Although known predominantly as a songwriter and session singer, Margie Singleton (the wife of producer Shelby Singleton) was a vocalist of extraordinary quality in her own right and she recorded an excellent body of work, which included several signifcant US Country & Western hits

However, don't go looking for those hits here, as none are included. This is a Collectors' Rarities-styled set, comprising sides recorded between 1957-62, which are either notoriously hard to fnd elsewhere on CD or making their digital debuts herein.

These include several of her earliest 45s, for Starday, rare duets with Harry Hanson, Al Hart and George Jones; live recordings from The Grand Ole Opry; and a clutch of studio outtakes.

Although now well into her eighties, Margie is still active to this day.

Her hits and signature releases during the same time span will hopefully be the subject of a forthcoming Jasmine release.
