Chanteur
Country US né le 23 Mai 1937 à Humboldt (près de Jackson) (Tennessee).
Rayburn Anthony est décédé le 21 Avril 2018 à Jackson.
Rayburn was born and raised in Humboldt Tennessee which is close to Jackson ,
Tennessee. He made his first recordings for the legendary Sun label in Memphis.
He was taken there by a friend WS "Fluke " Holland who of course played drums
for Carl Perkins another Jackson
resident and later for Johnny Cash right up
until Johnny's health made him quit the road. WS had left the
Perkins band to take some time off the
road himself and he had discovered Carl Mann
working in a local club. WS worked with Mann
at Sun to produce such great records as "Mona Lisa " There was a club in the
area called the Pineridge that stayed open late and musicians would drop in
after their own shows. There would be a regular jam with
Carl Mann,
Kenny Parchman and WS among them.
Smoochy Smith then only a teenager was working in
Kenny's band and later played piano on
one of Rayburn's sessions. Rayburn Anthony played the club often and WS and he
became friends and WS took him over to meet Sam Phillips. Rayburn recalls being
asked to sit down at a keyboard and sing a few songs. He expected them to set up
the band to see what he could do but Sam liked what he heard and signed him from
that keyboard session. Three singles were released on Sun "St. Louis Blues" , "There's
No Tomorrow" and "Big Dream." Altogether Rayburn recorded about sixteen tracks
at Sun having either WS Holland or Tony Austin on drums and Eddie Bush on guitar.
Only a few of the unreleased tracks as "Hambone" have been issued on the many
Sun compilations. Rayburn was at Sun 1959 / 60 when Sam was moving to the new
Madison Avenue studios and when the whole music scene was changing so he was
never recorded on out and out rockabilly Sam even bringing in an outside
producer Vinnie Trout who used strings on his last session. Rayburn remembers
Elvis would drop by the studio
sometimes usually when he and his friends were renting the rollerink or the
local movie theatre.
After Sun Rayburn started to write more often with friends like Tony Austin and
Gene Dobbins. He got his first big cheque with Dobbins when they got the B side
of Sandy Posey's hit "Born A Woman" with
their song "Caution To The Wind." Sandy also cut another of their songs. At this
time he was writing for Bill Black's
publishing company. Next Rayburn moved to Nashville to be in a better position
to get songs cut and he went to work at
Scotty Moore's Music City Recorders. He had met
Scotty in Memphis and this new
association gave him lots of studio time to work on his demos.
He began to work on the road with Billy
Walker and this led to Walker
recording several of his songs with two reaching the top ten. "Sing Me A Love
Song To Baby" reached number one and earned Rayburn an ASCAP award. Other acts
to have recorded his songs include John
Conley, Charlie Louvin and
Melba Montgomery ,
Vern Gosdin,
Conway Twitty /
Loretta Lynn ,
The Jordanaires ,
Charley Pride and
Jerry Lee Lewis. The well known Scottish
group Colorado also recorded several of his songs.
Rayburn has recorded for a variety of labels including Mega, Stop, Polydor and
Mercury. His many chart records include "Maybe I Should Have Been Listening" and
"Shadows Of Love." On Mercury he was produced by
Jerry Kennedy and once had
Reba McEntire singing on one of his
tracks "Easy." While on Stop he had "A Hundred Yards Of Real Estate" recorded by
the Jordanaires on their album "Monsters".
This album was later released in Britain on Ember Records with some additional
tracks.
Today he is connected to Rhythm Bomb Records. He just recorded his second CD for
the german label. He has seven children: Jeff, James, Sally, Austin, Kayli,
Colin, and Summer. Rayburn currently lives in Humboldt, Tennessee.
Anthony Rayburn died on April 21, 2018 in Jackson.
