Young and Crazy - Billy Wallace

Billy Wallace (March 26, 1917 - June 3, 1978) was an American country and rockabilly singer, songwriter and guitarist. Wallace had one of the most unique voices in rockabilly music and played a different guitar style than most of the guitarists back then would do. Both, his voice and full-bodied guitar play worked well together on his classic session as Billy Wallace & The Bama Drifters in 1956 for Mercury Records, on which he laid down four songs. But Wallace had also a long and more successful (but also unknown) career in songwriting. He never achieved the honor he should have.
