Artist:  Kai Winding

Title:  Modern Country

Date:  1964

Label:  Verve Records V6-8602

Cover Design:  Acy Lehman

Cover Photo: Murray Laden

Notes:  Producer Creed Taylor decided it would be a perfect fit to take Kai and his trombone sound to Nashville and marry it to the modern country tunes of the time. Touching on Johnny Cash, The Carter Family and other grand names of country Kai and his sidemen and singers do a bright little trot through the charts and try to stir up a little dust. If you like Kai you should enjoy his take on the some country classics. The car on the front cover is an absolutely bitchin' 1965 Mustang 2 + 2. And I'll be it goes like a bat out of hell too.
