Dick Kent - Backin' Up The Devil



i got a few more devil posts if ya'll can handle it?

Gonna stick with the "country" vibe here by way of Hollywood? California and the M.S.R. label.

M.S.R. was one of those record labels where folks would send them their words or "songs",(along with about a few hundred bucks) these records are often called poem songs, and M.S.R. would then turn it into a song using their studio musicians and then send a box of this crap to the "writer" so he/she could bore his friends with it. Not unlike most bands do today...

So good old Dickie here or was it Perry H. Hopkins? paid good hard scratch to have his "poem" turned into this little dittie for your listening pleasure now!
