“PISTOL PACKIN‘ MAMA” - AL DEXTER [1943]

"Pistol Packin' Mama" was a "Hillbilly"- Honky Tonk record released at the height of World War II, that became a nationwide sensation, and the first "Country" song to top the Billboard Popular music chart. It was written by Al Dexter, and recorded in Hollywood, California on March 20, 1942, with top session musicians Dick Roberts, Johnny Bond and Dick Reinhart.

1943 was dominated by the Musician's Strike, which since August 1942, had prevented the recording of commercial music by the record companies. As the strike dragged on, the labels began releasing material from their artists' back catalogues, until by mid-1943, that ran out too. Fortunately for Okeh records, they released Al Dexter's "Pistol Packin' Mama" (PPM), backed by "Rosalita", in April. It caught fire quickly, thanks to reports in Billboard magazine, and the nation's jukeboxes, which had run out of fresh material to play. Although Billboard did not publish it's first Folk-Hillbilly chart until January 8, 1944, PPM became the first "Hillbilly" record to reach no. 1 on the National Best Selling Retail Records chart, on October 30, 1943, and spent sixteen weeks in the top 10, on it's way to selling 3 million copies. It entered the Jukebox chart on July 31, 1943, where it stayed for 28 weeks (the last 14  shared with Bing Crosby version), another unheard of achievement for a "Hillbilly" tune. In Billboard's 1943 Yearbook, released in September, PPM by Dexter was the only hillbilly record to join Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey in the best-selling record list.

Top vocalist Bing Crosby, always a major fan of "hillbilly" music, was finally able to record a cover version with the Andrews Sisters on September 27, when his label, Decca, became the first to settle with the union. The single, released October 21, followed Dexter's to the top, revitalizing popularity and sales into 1944. When the first Billboard "Most Played Jukebox Folk Records" chart was published, both PPM versions tied for Number 1, and remained tied for seven straight weeks.

The NBC radio network banned Bing's version because of the line “drinking beer in a cabaret.” The lyrics had to be changed to “singing songs in a cabaret” before it could air.

>>> Pistol Packin’ Mamas and Papas <<< I mentioned a little bit back that I’ve been making much fewer bullet pieces this last year, in fact, I don’t think I’ve done any sort of restock on them since before the holidays last year. But I do still get requests for Bullet Weights and hoops pretty frequently, and they are definitely one of my favorite designs. SO, today I am going to start a couple bullet orders, and a whole lot of bullet stock for my holiday markets (which I will announce shortly). Today and tomorrow would be the best time to get in any bullet orders/custom requests as they get under way!! All regularly offered to made to order pieces, as well as examples of some past one of a kinds, can be found in the “Pistol Packin’ Mamas and Papas” collection on my website, silverstallionhandmade@gmail.com <<< * * * * * * #ssh #silverstallionhandmade #handmadejewelry #metalsmith #pistolpackinmama #bullet #bulletjewelry #earweights #guagedears #bolotie #pistolpackinmamasandpapas #outlaw #americana #country (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq0KQsrF3gR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rec7n75xfit2
