Jim Stafford Discography of CDs

Jim Stafford discography Jim Stafford's self-titled debut album gave him four Top 40 chart singles, with the schoolboyish charm of "Spiders and Snakes" reaching the highest at number three in July of 1973.

He can play a mean guitar as well as catchy tunes and witty lyrics. He was married to a first lady of Country , Bobbie Gentry, at the time and moved in those circles himself, but there are a range of styles on this LP which Stafford attacks with panache, including pastiche Blues, real down home Tony Joe White style Swamp Rock and wistful ...

Jim Stafford songs One of the masters of the pun and the sharp quip, Jim Stafford gave novelty music some substance throughout his career, making a mark with "Spiders and Snakes" in 1973 and again a year later with "Wildwood Weed," both breaking the Top Ten. This greatest-hits package comprises ten of his best tracks, including the witty "My Girl Bill" and "Cow Patti," as well as droll little gems like "Don't Fool Around When There's a Fool Around" and "You Can Call Me Call Me Clyde."

Jim Stafford CD discography The 20th Century Masters year-specific BEST OF series attempts to present a cross-sub genre sampling of the year's most significant charting pop hits. The 1974 edition is split fairly equally between classic tunes by legacy artists, such as Lynyrd Skynyrd's genre-defining southern rocker "Sweet Home Alabama" and Paul McCartney and Wings' power pop epic "Band on the Run," and high energy one-hit-wonders like Carl Douglas's novelty disco/funk hit "Kung Fu Fighting" and the gangster-themed "The Night Chicago Died" by Paper Lace.
