[78-L] Overlooked?

[Cary Ginell]

Wade Ray was a fine fiddler. He played with Ambrose Haley & his Ozark Ramblers, who recorded for Vocalion in 1937. Those are probably his first sessions. I also have 78s by him on RCA Victor, Capitol, and Fabor. He also recorded for Toppa in the late '50s. Mostly used as a session musician, but he made some nice western swing on his own as well.
