"On Treasure Island / Silver Bells"

by Betty Cody

Unsung hillbilly heroine Betty Cody scored a few hits in the early '50s before calling it quits, returning to Maine to work in a factory and raise her kids. On this live 1954 tour recording, Betty totally kills it as she rips into a vicious vocal impression of steel guitarist Bud Isaacs' "On Treasure Island," following it up with an insane impersonation of a country banjo playing "Silver Bells." This track, rescued from obscurity by Greg G., can be downloaded (fer free, y'all!) from WFMU's Beware of the Blog, a wondrous repository of strange music and other aural oddities. "On Treasure Island/Silver Bells" was featured on Monica's October 30th show on WFMU.
