Carl Belew Old Number Nine Vol. 2 (CD)

The first band (Cool Gator Shoes, CDD335) was very popular. This second volume is a cross-section of Belew's recordings from different labels. A mixture of country hits - such as Wishful Thinking, The One You Slip Around With, You're The Only Good Thing - and original numbers, performed with Belew's soft voice, which is unmistakable but a little in the same direction as that of Jim Reeves and Eddy Arnold.

Includes several previously unreleased title
