single, 1956
Written by Bill Woods
This guy toured with Bob Wills and was a founding member of the Texas Playboys, but apparently Wills' drinking was too much for Duncan, who struck out on his won. Sadly, he never made it big. That's incredible to me, because if this amazing song is anything to go by, Duncan should have been bigger than Elvis Presley. He could play piano, guitar, and bass, and sang everything from standards to rockabilly. This particular song is a blend of rockabilly and Western swing, with lyrics that are ahead of their time. "Daddy-o go out prowlin' / He meet a little dish downtown / It's Daddy-o's time for howlin' / Hmm, he really get around / This Daddy-o go in a honky-tonk / Pitch a little woo / But Daddy-o find his momma / She's in there pitchin' too."
