Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan

Artist: Jack Blanchard & Misty Morgan
LP: Birds of a Feather
Song: "Tennessee Bird Walk"
[ listen ]
Song: "The Dum Song"
[ listen ]

Here's another neat record I found at Weirdo Records in Cambridge, Massachusetts on my trip to Boston last November. Jack and Misty were both born in the same hospital in Buffalo, NY in the 1940s, but they didn't actually meet until simultaneously making the rounds on the Florida entertainment circuit in the 1960s. They scored a #1 country hit (#23 on the pop charts) with the wacky "Tennessee Bird Walk" in 1970 and have been making sweet music together ever since. You can read more about Jack & Misty here, become their friends on MySpace here and become official fans of the duo and find more extensive biographical info on their Facebook page here. In the notes on the back of their 1970 "Birds of a Feather" LP, Jack & Misty say they've been waiting for me in their dreams so we can all have fun together before we wake up, and they thank me for finding them. Well, you're welcome... but I apologize for making you wait 40 years.
