Mel Street / Country Soul

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the Country star on one CD: Mel Street (1977) and Country Soul (1978). Already a seasoned veteran, Mel Street would emerge as one of the finest and most promising Country singers of the 1970s. Mel began his career in the 1950s on Cecil Suratt's radio show on stations WELC and WBRW in Welch, West Virginia. By 1960, Mel had moved to Niagara Falls, where he sang in nightclubs and then later he moved to Bluefield and started performing as a member of the band called the Swing Kings on WHIS-TV's Country Jamboree. He then had his very own Saturday evening half-hour show, Country Showcase from 1968 to 1972. 22 tracks.
