Owen Bradley Big Guitar

Owen Bradley known for a great
music producer and star maker
made two outstanding tittyshaker instrumentals on Decca record "Big Guitar" on Decca 30564 and "Whirlwind" on Decca 30372. Bradley was born in Westmoreland Tennessee, at an early age he started playing piano in night clubs and roadhouses. 

In 1947 he took the position of a music arranger for Decca records.
He worked with many of the biggest country talents of the time, Ernest Tubb, Burl Ives, Red Foley, and Kitty Wells.

He was one of the major factors in creating the Nashville sound he starting producing and was a star maker for Pasty Cline, Brenda Lee, Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty, Buddy Holly, Gene Vincent, and the list goes on.

Makes one wonder why he ended up with these two groovers. Big Guitar make you feel like your in a smoke filled strip club watching sultry half naked dancers an 2 am in the morning reeking of stale booze and cigarettes.

Whrilwind on the other hand makes you feel like you scored with one of the strippers and end up home with her. Having hot and torrid sex to the wee morning hours, with a women's cry of pleasure on the records to add to the flavor.

Both of these records for the most part sell for under $20.00 and I have seen Big Guitar go for as little as $2.50. I feel it still pretty much an unknown record that will find climb in sells.
