Those of you who remember Vernon Oxford, the man that was "too country" for the likes of Nashville back in the 60's will enjoy some new links that we found on the web...and even if the name doesn't ring a bell, if you love country music as much as we do, you'll probably enjoy them as well. First is Vernon singing "Roll Big Wheels Roll" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si1nFGF2OYg and the second is him singing "This Woman Is Mine" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoy7iAPFYvs&mode=related&search= and the Amazon.com site advertising his boxed set of CDs entitled "Keeper Of The Flame" http://www.amazon.com/Keeper-Flame-Vernon-Oxford/dp/B000001B2D CMT also has a biography of Vernon at this location http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/oxford_vernon/bio.jhtml Vernon also has a personal website you might want to check out: http://www.vernonoxfordcountry.com/ Hope you enjoy his distinctive sound and see why many have compared him with Hank Sr. even though he was born in the Ozarks near Rogers, Arkansas.
