Going Back To The Cuntry / Just Like This - LITTLE WILLIE BROWN

The birthplace of Andrew Brown is unknown, but it believed that he was born in 1921. He adopted the stage and recording name of "Little Willie Brown". He made his debut recordings cutting four sides for the Suntan label in Houston in 1956. It's possible that he relocated to Nashville, TN. since that was where he made the rest of his recordings in his career. His first stop was in 1961 at the Do-Re-Me label owned by Murray Nash. (Nash produced his recordings and he also owned other labels that released recordings by blues, doo-wop, R&B, country, gospel and rockabilly artists). Brown later moved on to smaller Nashville labels recording 45's for Chart, Topic and Great between 1962 and 1968. He passed away in East St. Louis, IL. on December 2, 1981. This recording reaches a fine-line between blues & doo-wop.
