Deke Dickerson I LIKE RECORDS! Episode One

Here's a new You Tube Channel about a man who loves his records! Deke Dickerson isn't some newcomer and he most certainly doesn't call his records "Vinyls." Enjoy Deke's tales of his favorite records of all genres from the earliest days of recorded music through records recorded directly at his house! Episode One is all about country music legend Wynn Stewart, and how he created what came to be known as "The Bakersfield sound"...in Los Angeles!

Hi Deke, this is David Atkins. I was Jerry and Jan McWorder's sound engineer at Yolie's in Ventura. I love your new channel and find your information very interesting.I think it's really neat that you are using a Thorens TD124 with a Rec-o-kut tone arm.Those are really neat machines. It's great to see you out there on the Web. I sure miss working with you at the restaurant. Your shows were always top-notch. Best wishes, Dave

Thanks Deke.

You win the record collection race.

In 1986, my partner and I produced a concert on Dwight Yoakum at the Phoenix Club in Anaheim. Rose Maddox was in attendance and I offered to take her backstage to introduce her to Dwight. Rose was all for it. If you could have seen the look on Dwight's face when I said, let me introduce you to Rose Maddox. Dwight knew exactly who Rose was and kept her in the dressing room talking about her days in Bakersfield. A few years later, I met Rose again backstage at the Grand Ol' Opry and we reminisced about her first time meeting Dwight. Incidentally, we had a full house and turned it two times. I believe "I'm A Honky Tonk Man." was in the number 3 spot on Billboard that week.

When I lived on COMO, I went out to your daddy’s house with JG Stewart, looking for some Johnny Smith records. You came by it honestly.

[@bentonbee1]

Thanks for sharing Deke. I had not heard of him

[@davehunt9441]

Just discovered your channel and I am impressed. It’s not just about the records it’s about the people behind the records and your knowledge is fantastic.

[@patrickrcleary]

So glad you decided to play "Another Day, Another Dollar." I think that's James Burton on lead guitar. Glad you spotlighted the Bakersfield Sound box set too. Love ya, Deke!

[@rukusband]

First time I heard his Name was when Carl Perkins told Elvis of .... KEEPER OF THE KEY record from 1956 on the MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET recording at Sun records Dec 1956 .

[@iskandertime747]

Hey Deke! So glad to find you on the KZbins again! I most know Wyn from those Jackpot rockabilly sides, nice to get a more full picture of the man and his influence. And yeah, where would we be without those Bear Family box sets?

[@jasonadams371]

I just discovered your channel today. It is nice to find someone who loves Country music and the history as well. I am so looking forward to seeing more videos from you like this

[@Jumatsu]

Great first episode Deke! I don't mind if these would be longer. Wynn Stewart truly was a great artist.

[@markdillman7809]

I bought my copy of the Wynn Stewart Bear Family box set from his daughter. Good price. Nice gal.

[@TheMikeWaddell]

Deke Dickerson, I really enjoy all that you do. Be it Rock A Billy music, or old guitars, During the early 80's I used to sit in and play bass guitar with a fine picker and singer named, Buddy Kendricks. I had heard that he had run with the Bakersfield crowd at one time. I am wondering if you have run into any information about Buddy?

[@fink94]

I was waiting for a channel from you just like this! Awesome!!

[@_s827]

Oh man, what a great start to this series. Wynn is my favorite classic country vocalist.

[@stephenbrowne3399]

Big Maybelle doing "96 Tears"? That was in your intro clip Like to hear that one.

[@bbqlips]

Totally killer intro video to your new channel. Can't wait for the next one!!

[@danthegeetarman]

Love this new channel Deke! As usual, so much amazing information and great taste in music. This is a great episode that hits close to home - being from So Cal myself. Can’t wait for the future episodes 👍

Thanks Deke!

[@TimDarlingboy]

Really great job Deke!!

[@CodyJungGuitar]

This is so great, Deke! Just subscribed!

[@francoisrousseau7893]

Thnks Deke - looking forward for more episodes - I found out about Wynn while researching sessions by Clarence White who did many sessions in LA. He did a few with Wynn in the sixties.

[@jdfolbre]

Bob Wills spent some time on WC since so many Okies & Texans had gone out there during the Dust Bowl.

[@jdfolbre]

Johnny Bush started out as Ray Price's drummer.

[@jdfolbre]

I learned about Wynn Stewart from Pete Anderson

[@dinsmob]

Love this!!! There's a tip coming your way do that you keep this up! Thanks.

[@guitareveryone]

All I can say is WOW!

[@vintageadventurer]

Most excellent, Deke! Hi from Wisco! Do you have a show at the Silverdome ballroom this year?

[@guitareveryone]

Great stuff Deke. Subscribed!

[@m0j0b0ne]

I'm guessing Bakersfield wasn't the recording mecca it is, today. What it had after the war was a ton of dancehalls filled with Okie aerospace workers eager to spend their Lockheed, Grumman and Northrop paychecks.

[@arthurfonzerelli8000]

Someone once said that if you didn't play every record in your collection at least once a year, you were just a hoarder.

[@AskZac]

FANTASTIC!!! I sent a tip, and I hope you keep it up!!!

[@markdillman7809]

A unique quality of Wynn Stewart's records was the drumming of Helen "Peaches" Price. She really drags the beat. I don't know if it was intentional or just her style, but I think it makes Wynn's records sound a little bit more bluesy and I love it.

[@bentonbee1]

Did Win write his own songs?

[@fredcockerhamfan]

Deke for the Wynn! More please!

[@cranesofaustin3826]

Great Commentary, Deke. I hope you made a lot of $$ on those mint records you scored at the estate sale. Estate Sales are what I miss most about living in the US! -Marshall

[@arthurfonzerelli8000]

So exactly what is a "lesser 78"?

[@joandurand8648]

A great subject for an episode!
