Discogr. & Info

The Echo Valley Boys with

Bill Browning / (Bill Browning)

Back in 1958 

a young singer-songwriter from West Virginia named Bill Browning recorded for a small regional record label. After one of his tunes – “Borned With The Blues” – was released, the song on the flip side of the record was quickly noticed and re-recorded by two other artists with better distribution: Luke Gordon and Jimmie Skinner. While Browning and His Echo Valley Boys' version was cut in the rockabilly style, Gordon and Skinner's versions are heavily influenced by Hank Williams. The song was called “Dark Hollow.”
