[78-L] Merle Travis on ATLAS 78?

[Cary Ginell]

A favorite that I have is "Melancholy Madeline" which Laine did with Johnny Moore & the Three Blazers (FL-107). Travis' "That's All" is the only one I have by him on Atlas. He also did it on Capitol 57-40171.

> You tend to see a lot that Travis based "That's All" on a sermon he heard, but, as Archie Green figured out and e.g. Alan Lomax not so much, Travis didn't worry about his anecdotes being true. It really went back to "Denomination Blues" by Washington Phillips (1880-1954).

> Just found a Merle Travis record on an ATLAS label 78. I have a ton of Nat king Cole and other pop stars on Atlas, didn't know they also did country. Is there a discography for the Atlas label somewhere online? The only Atlas label records I can find are for the 1980s-1990s jazz label. Thanks!
