[Notes]
Modern country troubadour Ron Turner recorded his only album in 1973. These 11 original songs tinged with a western music flavor range in subject matter from traveling ("Rollin' to the Border" and "The Hills of Tennessee") and bad men ("The Bold Desperado") to trains ("The Katy") and the trials of romance ("Leavin' You Behind" and "Meet Me at the Roadhouse"). Turner closes with "The Ballad of Bill Guthrie," a song about Woody Guthrie's oldest son. The liner notes consist of a short story, but no recording information.
