Heart of Texas Records is proud to announce the release of Mona Vary McCall “The Brownsburg Girl”. This project contains that earliest recordings of Mona McCall recorded in Canada before her move to the United States. This never before released project highlights Mona’s talents at a very early age.

“Many Mona’s ago...I mean many moons ago, I sat in the attic bedroom of our little stone home in Brownsburg, Quebec, Canada putting these songs together,” Mona McCall recently said. “I was getting ready to go into the studio and little did I know that the project would all come together in my Brady, Texas, home fifty years later. You are listening to the very young voice of Mona Vary while she dreamed that the sky was the limit. “

The song list includes some standards and some less known compositions including “I’ll Come Running” “Here I Am Again” “Why I’m Walking” “Don’t Say You Do When You Don’t” “Same Old You” “Your Good Girls Gonna Go Bad” “Back In Town To Stay” “I’m Gonna Knock On Your Door” “My Dreams of You” “It’s Not Much Fun” “Ode To Billy Joe” and “Funny How Time Slips Away.”

After starting her career in Canada and following in the footsteps of her entertainer father, Mona backed many of the Grand Ole Opry stars during their tours in the northern country. She played drums in a house band that would regularly host the up and coming and legendary acts touring ourtof Nashville. She moved to Music City USA and started working with the Audrey Williams band. She also was a part of the Buck Owens show before meeting her future husband Darrell McCall.

After their marriage in 1970, Mona would continue to perform with Darrell but also concentrated on raising her daughter Guyanne and son Cody.

Mona McCall “The Brownsburg Girl” was recorded in Cote Des Neiges area of Montreal, Quebec, in 1967. The tracks were originally produced by Dougal Trineer and re engineered by Justin Trevino. The musicians include Guitar and Steel from Dougal Trineer, Bass by Harry Trineer and Drums by Bill Leger.

“When we discovered these masters, I knew that we had to release them for Mona’s fans,” Heart of Texas Records President Tracy Pitcox said. “This is the beginning of her career and there’s a special brightness that is felt in knowing where she came from and what a history that she continued to make through the years.”

Mona McCall “The Brownsburg Girl is available for $14.95 with FREE USA Shipping at Heart of Texas Records 1701 South Bridge Street Brady, Texas 76825 or at www.heartoftexascountry.com.

Country Music entertainer Freddy Holcomb recently visited the Heart of Texas Country Music Museum and donated some incredible Country Music memorabilia.

Freddy acquired some original acetates from the Jim Reeves estate many years ago and donated those of Jim Reeves, Hank Thompson, Roger Miller, Bobby Bare, Chet Atkins, Hal Willis, Floyd Cramer, Gordon Terry and Harlan Howard among others. Most of these acetates were sent to Jim by songwriters in hopes that he would cut them. Many of the Reeves acetates were cut at Jim’s studio and later released on various projects.

Freddy also donated a clock that was given to Teddy Wilburn of the Wilburn Brothers by the Grand Ole Opry.

Several years ago, we purchased a Hank Thompson Nudie designed suit that Freddy had obtained from Western Swing band leader Harry Pierce. Hank had given the suit to Harry back in the 1960's when is was soiled while on the road. Harry had it cleaned up and actually performed in it for many years, before loaning it to the College of the Ozarks. After getting the suit back, he then gave it to Freddy to use on performances which he did for many years. Tracy bugged him enough until he finally sold it to us.

We were honored to have Freddy visit with us at the Heart of Texas Country Music Museum and appreciate his generosity by adding to our collection.
