Above: Released October 1947. Although Bullet had a "race" series (250-346), this record was included in the "popular" series (1000-1059). Bullet, owned by Jim Bulleit and located in Nashville, was initially established in 1945 to produce "country and western" records.Both sides of this record feature whistling à la The Four Knights (click HERE to listen to examples of The Four Knights from 1946 and 1951). If anyone knows the members of The Five Bars or who is doing the whistling, please let me know.
Al Kirby informs me that the Bullet discography includes #1010 "Bars Boogie"/"Deep In My Heart" by The Five Bars... does anyone have any information about this record... was it released back in 1947?
