COWTOWN JAMBOREE – Originally shot for a Herman’s Hermits documentary but never used,
this is a filmed account with sound of the 1967 Cowtown Jamboree at Panther Hall in Fort Worth,
Texas. Running about 27 minutes long, the footage includes The Sundown Collection
(performing Shake), The Restless Set (performing I’ll Go Crazy), Phase V and, predominantly, The Jades (of Fort Worth). The Jades perform, among others songs, The Letter, I Feel Good, Sha
La La La Lee, and I'll Go Crazy. Unfortunately, the sound is muddied, but this is a fantastic
representation of the Texas music scene of the '60s. According to Robert Allen of The Sundown
Collection, “That's me on the far right in the black 'gunfighter' suit; Johnny Foster (lead singer)
dancing his head off in the middle; and Jimmy Don Smith (in Confederate soldier outfit) on the far
left moving the keyboard out of the way so he can join the show out front. We did a few songs
where Johnny, Jimmy and I would do a 'three front men' act. That show is from very early on
because that's Ronnie Rambo (wearing buckskins) playing bass while I'm working with Johnny
and Jimmy. Drummer is Randy "Turtle" DeHart (dressed kinda Indian-ish) and the other guitar
player is Mario Hernandez (mariachi outfit). If you're familiar with the Norton Records Fort
Worth Teen Scene recordings, Ronnie Rambo was the lead guitarist of the Cynics before joining
Sundown Collection. He was eventually replaced in The Sundown Collection when Jimmy Don
learned all the songs.”

That's an amazing artifact, not in the least for showing an integrated audience in Texas in 1967!

It wasn't a 'buy the rum to get the bourbon' deal. I thought she was a good country singer-as good as any girl in country music. Radio wouldn't accept her though. She lived the same vale of tears life that every country girl sings about and she was especially big in Texas. She did well in all the pisspots down there-Panther Hall and so on. What amazed me though was the way she married every one in the damn band-sometimes more than once I think. One time she just moved across the hall to her new husband.

Very interesting video, but she doesn't come close to most of the 'girl' country singers of the time - Wanda Jackson or Janis Martin, let alone Loretta Lynn. Hairdo reminds me of Leslie from Southern Culture:

Hi CK, Linda Gail has her charms to be sure...best showcased in a visual medium. Believe that's all her own hair encased in Aqua Net too. Shudder to think about the other Panther Hall tape in the dumpster after seeing these clips.
