Dennis Weaver - McCloud Country (1975) (LP) - €10,00

posted by ad-vinylrecords

Dennis Weaver (born June 4, 1924, Joplin, Missouri, USA – died February 24, 2006, Ridgway, Colorado, USA) was an American actor, perhaps best known for his roles on the television series Gunsmoke (1955-1975) and McCloud (1970-1977). 

Launched his own record label "Just Good Records" in the 1970's. 

Most well known artist on the label was Recording artist / actor Randy Boone.

Weaver was also a recording artist, with most of his tracks being spoken-word recordings with musical accompaniment. 

He released several singles and albums between 1959 and 1984, most notable of which was his eponymous Im'press Records LP in 1972, the cover of which featured a portrait of Weaver in character as McCloud; it was the first of seven albums he recorded.

Though he wasn't any great shakes vocally, he managed a half dozen country albums, but no chart-toppers. 

Here, ably backed by some Nashville stalwarts (including Mac Davis on harmonica) with album liner notes by Mae Axton (Hoyt's mother and writer of "Heartbreak Hotel"), he turns in another journeyman effort. Highlights are "Flat Bed Truck" and the tear-jerker "Uncle Lem." It's not bad, but you won't need more than one.

Released in USA as "One More Road"
