2022 - A hugely prolific recording artist, Al Terry is chiefly remembered for his signature hit GOOD DEAL, LUCILLE, and the handful of Hillbilly and neo-Rockabilly sides he cut for Hickory Records in the mid-50s. However, during the 1950s he also cut Honky-Tonk, mainstream Country and Nashville Countrypolitan sides, occasionally duetting with Wilma Lee, and Rusty & Doug Kershaw. This compilation presents a Very Best Of Al's output between 1952-1962, across four different record labels, and includes his celebrated R&R-styled 1958 re-cut of GOOD DEAL, LUCILLE and the rockin' WATCH DOG. In 1955, Country & Western Jamboree magazine placed him at #1 in a 'Best New Artist' poll, ahead of Sonny James at #2 and Elvis at #3, conducted among deejays, retailers and distributors.
