• Track Listing

Over 120 tracks from Joe Leonard’s Lin Records label! Based in Gainesville, Texas, from 1954–1968, Lin and its Kliff subsidiary had just one national hit (Ken Copeland’s Pledge of Love, included here) but recorded everything from honky-tonk to rockabilly to doo wop and all points in between. Among the artists featured here are Buck Griffin, Andy Starr, the Strikes, the Four Mints, Jerry Fuller and Ray Ruff, while the enclosed booklet tells the story of one of the great lost postwar independents.
