Slim Bryant release

Hoyt "Slim" Bryant is best remembered with his Wildcats as a member of the National Barn Dance and the Old Dominion Barn Dance and also as a regular on local radio and TV. Early on, he played in Clayton McMichen's band and later startet a solo career. Slim celebrated his 100th birthday recently in December and the British Archive of Country Music has released a second CD with Slim's rare and unknown recordings. Volume three is going to be released at the end of 2009.
