This is a really good album, Came across an article about him. He released an album in the 60's and it flopped. He didn't perform again for decades. Some radio DJ in australia came across it and played it. His sales went nuts and the same thing happened in s Africa. Now he's a millionaire after spending his life working regular jobs

Oh yes I can see why it flopped, might sell well with social workers etc not really what I'm looking for at this moment in time

This song always brings a lump to the throat. Billy McCracken isn't a great singer, but he is a top top instrumentalist

Yeah, that was him. It was called "Cavatina" but became better known as The Deer Hunter Theme...3rdforum wrote:The Deer Hunter guy?
