LINK: tinyurl.com David Houston apparently came from good stock: his lineage includes Sam Houston and Gen. Robert E. Lee. Born and raised in Bossier City, Louisiana, Houston became a regular on the Louisiana Hayride as a teenager. Apparently his soaring tenor voice wasn't totally appreciated; he found trouble getting work in the music business, and ended up as an insurance underwriter. But record producer Billy Sherrill brought Houston into the fold when Epic Records was still a young label (the early '60s), and Houston brought the company its first real hit with "Mountain of Love." In 1966 he broke through to major status with "Almost Persuaded," which netted a pair of Grammy awards and brought pop recognition as well. A member of the Grand Ole Opry since 1971, he racked up 28 hit records over a decade, including duets with Tammy Wynette and Barbara Mandrell. ~ Tom Roland, All Music Guide. + Informações

Songs from Shane's Continuing Journey - part three: From city to city and on, down the back roads. (Slightly disjointed here, video-wise, as the images were originaly intended for Lightfoot's "Carefree Highway"...though what with the Youtube & WMG etc Nazi parties being what they are now 'n all...ahem, s'cuse me.). + Informações

Slim Whitman pretty much OWNS this song, because I haven't heard anyone that can top his rendition. David's version from his 1967 "You Mean The World To Me" is quite good as well, and well worth a listen. Enjoy!. + Informações

This week I got myself a pretty good collection of David Houston albums...I think I nabbed 23 of them! It's a lot to pour through and it'll take me some time, that's for sure. Since I grew up listening to his music, it's nice to hear it again after so many years. Here's a 1972 #18 hit of his that's a good one!. + Informações

One of the many interesting aspects of country music albums of the 1960's and 1970's is the sheer number of cover tunes on them. It'd be amusing if that happened today! Anyhow, David tackles the 1969 #5 hit by Tom T. Hall on his 1970 "Baby, Baby" album. He does a pretty good job!. + Informações
