Trio
Rockabilly US composé de Gary Gentry, Larry Gentry, Dale Gentry.
US
Rockabilly trio included Gary Gentry, Larry Gentry & Dale
Gentry. The brothers where born in Kentucky and Ohio and began playing
music together at an very early age. Dale Gentry was only around 15 years old
when he started playing guitar with Grand Ole Opry star
Little Jimmy Dickens.
In early 1960 the Gentry Brothers did their first recording when they backed
The Van Brothers (Arnold
Van Winkle) on the now classic rockabilly song "Servant Of Love". This song
is a good example of Dale`s incredible guitar playing. The record was recorded
on the Muncie, Indiana based Poor Boy label, owned by country singer
Wayne Raney.
Their next record was released almost one year later on the Dixie label with the
two rockabilly style instrumentals "Swanky" and "Swooney". The pickers on this
recording was Dale Gentry (Guitar), Gary Gentry (Bass-Guitar), Zandel Rainey
(Piano & Vocals on Swooney) and Bobby Bailey on Drums.
After that the Gentry Brothers teamed up with Gil Richmond and Earl King and
released several county records om the Walton label. One of the songs recorded
on Walton in 1964, "Stop, Slow Down" was later also released on the Ohio based
Fraternity Label. But the song was stopped before it hit the national public
because of legal problems, and only a few records was pressed.
The Gentry Brothers got to play with many stars at the time and meet alot of
people. Including Little Jimmy Dickens,
George Jones,
Chet Atkins &
Hank Williams Jr.. Dale Gentry was
asked to go on the road with some of the most famous country singers at the
time. But he didnt want to go without his Brothers.
The Gentry Brothers are now listed in the Rockabilly Hall Of Fame for their
contribution to the musical genre and their songs is being performed by
rockabilly bands all around the world.
