Blackland Farmer

Frankie Miller (Peermusic BMI)

6. Blackland Farmer – I love this song by Frankie Miller because it’s modest and grateful. He’s still living in Texas and could be selling cars now but he was an important star on the Louisiana Hayride in the 50’s. I was introduced to his music by Jeff Gordon at Bro N Sis Music. It was there I was signed to my first publishing deal after leaving Price Waterhouse. It was a great place for me to continue my music education. We would stay up partying several nights a week and always on Mondays. Jeff would meticulously deejay the festivities, which always culminated deep into the Starday and King record catalog, and thus Frankie Miller and Blackland Farmer.
