[78-L] Merle Travis on ATLAS 78?

[Han Enderman]

Also many blues titles by Luke Jones on Atlas, and sessions by Red Mack
and by Johnny Alston (in "Sepia Series")..
This Atlas label (with 100 series) was also released in Canada.
Were these Frankie Laine's first recordings?

Here is a copy of Bruyninckx:

>>> 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).
> My favorite recording artist for Atlas (while on Atlas) would be Frankie Laine who 
made some great, great recordings for them apparently in breach of his contract with Mercury.

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! Cliff
