So Far Away
A romantic country love song from Rockabilly Hall of Fame Legend Al Hendrix. Susannah Jones sings backup. Jimmi Accardi is the producer and plays lead guitar. Larry Tracy plays pedal steel.
Al Hendrix was born with one of the most intriguing voices of his time. As a youth he was greatly inspired by the music of Hank Williams Sr. Al began performing and playing rhythm guitar in his teen; and has been wowing crowds with his awesome talent ever since!
Al’s first big break came in 1956 when he moved to Bakersfield, CA and met Buck Owens. Al and Buck played music together, along with Bill Woods and the Orange Blossom Playboys. At the famous Black Board Café.
In 1957, Joe Keplinger (aka: Jolly Jody), hired Al to be the lead singer for his band, Jolly Jody and the Go Daddies. The band recorded such songs as “Rhonda Lee” and “Go Daddy Rock” for the Tally label; both of which were picked up by ABC Paramount in February, 1959.
