Dave, I think I still have JB doing Bandera Waltz and Steeling Is His Business with Rex. I think they were A@B sides on 78RPM. www.billchaviers.com

I just went to research answer to your question and discovered that my Guy Mitchell album has also be "STOLEN". Now, I'm really angry!!
I can't recall Mitchell's album title but some of the songs are: Angels Cry; My Dog and Me; Mail My Heart To The Dead Letter Office; Lost Highway; The Green Pine Tree; Build My Gallows High; A House Without Love; I Will Love You Forever, My Love.
These are all great Byrd solos and backup.
One of my all time favorites by REX ALLEN, Sr., that is, is: I've Gotta Have My Baby Back along with Pedal From A Faded Rose.
Others include: Crying in the Chapel; I Thank the Lord for Everything; Afraid; Arizona Waltz; Why My Darling Why; Knockin' on the Door; Put Your Arms Around Me; Little Brown Shoes; Blues in my Mind; If God Can forgive You; To Be Alone; Tag Along and Broken Down Merry-Go-Round with Patti Page; Farther Along; Softly & Tenderly; Over Three Hills; Tennessee Tears; Song of the Hills;No One Will Ever Know; Hootin' & Howlin'; Somewhere; He Played A Steel Guitar;Lonesome Letter Blues.......etc.
Rex also did the vocal on Steelin' the Blues.
Hope this helps!
