outside of that project. "They never said, 'Make us one that will sell,' just sug- gested I try something different at this point." And so his fifth LP, "The Hits Just Keep On Coming" scheduled for May release (the title being tongue-in-cheek, the music most assuredly not). It's more what Michael is like in solo performance; soon the Nesmith cult can flash a record to the uninitiated to show just what it's all about instead of trying some inadequate verbal tirade that's really about faith and devotion and not the object of the well -placed admiration. "Picasso in one period painted all sides of a picture on one flat surface. (I know that from reading New Yorker, and I don't mean to compare what I do with what he does, but it's the best verbal example. I can come up with.) Mankind has a tendency to observe and tell ... I think there is a bulk of people with the consciousness I paint, but I of course just paint it that way-I don't see it that way. Observation is another level-social emotional, spiritual. If you hang the picture the way I paint it, you get to see what I did from my perspective. But others are valid too." If we have confused you, listen to his albums. I promise, you won't be confused then. Nesmith's music, the music of about, is an experience that requires private, one-to-one non-verbal interactions with you and what the artist has created.

SONNY JAMES (Capitol 3322) That's Why I Love You Like I Do (2:42) (Beechwood, BMI-J. Morrow) Sonny James has a very confident air as he handles the positive lyrics and SALES, SPINS AND optimistic melody of this Jack Morrow tune. His confidence is justified-the top of the charts are almost Sonny's permanent address! Flip: "Still Water Runs CHARTS PROVE Deep" (2:16) (Marson, BMI-C. Smith, S. James). JOHNNY CASH (Columbia 45590) Kate (2:19) (Mariposa, BM I-M. Robbins) Here comes Johnny again, chugging down the tracks with the familiar and EVERYBODY LIKES very welcome click -clack sound of the Tennessee Three. This time he's singing a prison ballad about the girl he shot-his aim is dead center and should quickly land a bullet on the surveys. Flip: no info available.

JEANNIE C. RILEY (MGM 14382) Good Morning Country Rain (2:17) (Acuff -Rose, BMI-E. Raven) Jeannie C. comes across with pleasant and breezy country -fresh lyrics, all decked out in a Gordon Lightfoot -type melody. It's later than "Early Morning DiWE Rain", but just in time for Spring! Flip: "This Is For You" (2:25) (Kimchelle, BMI-S. Taylor).

GEORGE HAMILTON IV (RCA 0697) Country Music In My Soul (2:32) (Acuff -Rose, BMI-B. Bond) The title tune from George Hamilton IV's new LP leaves no doubt that the DUDLEY'S individualistic artist has a country hit on his hands. Would make a fine theme song for a country radio show. Flip: "The Child's Song" (3:52) (Oyster, ASCAP -M. McLaughlan).

TANYA TUCKER (Columbia 45588) Delta Dawn (2:52) (United Artists/Big Ax, ASCAP-A. Harvey, L. Collins) Thirteen year old Tanya Tucker debuts on Columbia with a powerful country version of Alex Harvey's "Delta Dawn". Under the auspices of Billy Sherrill, she receives perceptive and commercial production that should shortly put her in the winner's circle of child stars. Flip: no info available.

CHET ATKINS (RCA 0696) Red, White And Blue Medley (3:37) (Robbins/Carl Fischer, ASCAP-various composers) Hats off for this one. Chet Atkins runs through a medley of patriotic songs, complete with military drum beat and brass. Attention, ready, salute . . . For- ward march! Flip: "Kentucky" (2:35) (Warner Bros., ASCAP-K. Davis).

BOBBY LEE TRAMMELL (Souncot 1135) Love Isn't Love (Till You Give It Away) (2:35) (Terrace/Barlow, ASCAP-B. Fischer, R. Mareno) This happy Ricci Mareno tune has the bright, energetic country sound that should quickly earn a hit for Bobby Lee Trammell, and probably prompt a number of cover versions by other artists as well. Flip: "Tell Me That You Love Me" (2:51) (Blue Crest/Hill & Range, D. Frazier, A. L. Owens).

BILLY WALKER (MGM 14377) Gone (Our Endless Love) (2:55) (Anne-Rachel/Best Way/Venomous, ASCAP- D. Glenn, B. Walker) This slow ballad by Billy Walker features the background harmonies of the Mike Curb Congregation. An interesting sound that grows with each listening, the tune could gradually gain a solid chart position. Flip: "Ail I Have To Offer You Is Me" (2:43) (Hill & Range/Blue Crest, BMI, D. Frazier, A. L. Owens).

CAL SMITH (Decca 32959) I've Found Someone Of My Own (2:58) (Mango/Run-A-Muck, BMI-F. Robinson) Formerly a pophit by the Free Movement, this country version by Cal Smith shows the free movement now existing between country and pop. The universal qualities of this tune easily fit in the country idiom. Flip: "The Lights Of The Living" (2:42) (Contention, SESAC-J. Stone).

In 1971 the Country Music Hall of Fame had approximately 190,000 paid admissions. The potential of our Museum is every person who visits Nashville and Opryland and of course all those who visit the Hall of Fame. We therefore feel that our estimate of only 75,000 paid admissions in the first year is very con- servative." Moore has always had interest in the history, development, and promotion of country music, and is one of the advisors of the John Edwards Artist's sketch of museum Memorial Foundation of UCLA.

LIVE AT THE NUGGET-Buck Owens-Capitol 11039 April is Buck Owens Month, and what better time for a live set of Buck and His All Ameri- can Show, featuring Don Rich, Kenni Husky, Buddy Alan, the Bakersfield Brass, Susan Raye, the Ray Sisters, and, of course, the Buckaroos. The album, recorded at John Ascuaga's Nug- get, has a especially live feel due to the down- home patter that Buck delivers between songs. Instant rapport is established with the club audience at the Nugget as it will no doubt establish itself with the home listening audience.

ME AND CHET-Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins- RCA 4707 On their last duet album for RCA, the cover depicted Jerry changing a flat tire while Chet strummed guitar by the roadside. This time around, the cover shows the two in a rowboat, with Chet rowing while Jerry picks. This good humored joshing around demonstrates the friendly interplay established by these two guitar greats. Both are totally capable of step- ping out to run rings around just about any other country picker around. But most important, Chet and Jerry both respect each other's music enough to take turns backing up while the other takes a solo. This album sounds as though Chet and Jerry each had as much fun listening to the other play as he did playing his own part!

AIN'T WE NAVIN' US A GOOD TIME-Connie Smith-RCA 4694 Connie sings "How Sweet It Is" on her new album. She shows how sweet it is with her twinkling smile on her album cover. A winning personality and musical sincerity have propelled Connie into prominence as an inter- preter of both pop and inspirational material. She overflows with warmth on "As Long As L4SFY We've Got Each Other," "If God Is Dead (Who's That Living In My Soul)," "If We Want Love To Last," "I Know You're Going Away" and the title tune. HJFNFT1TF IS PROUD TO BE THE DON'T SAY YOU'RE MINE-Carl Smith-Co- lumbia 31277 NEWEST MEMBER OF When Carl Smith touches a song, he adds the touch of distinction. His style is very ma- ture, but never at the sacrifice of a song's true emotions. There are no holds barred on CAPITOL COUNTRY his feelings, which have been channelled through experience and wisdom for a controlled style that conveys added insight into popular material. Highlights include "Every- HIS OUTSTANDING NEW RELEASE thing Is Beautiful," "Easy Loving," "Help Me Make It Through The Night," "Would You Take Another Chance On Me" and "The Best Years Of Your Life."

THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME-Norma Jean- RCA 4691 "IN 111F Norma Jean is a cutie. Her clean, whole- some looks extend into her musical approach and selection of material. Her straightforward and pure singing gives the appropriate aura to the title tune, making the listener feel as though the tune were being sung especially for him. Her simplicity of expression opens a clear road for her interpretations of strong contemporary material such as "He's All I Got," SPRING" "Lead Me On," "Never Ending Song Of Love," "I Can't See Me Without You," "Leavin' And (THE ROSES ALWAYS TURN RED) Sayin' Goodbye" and "Chicken Every Sunday."
