Recorded in Akron, Ohio in 1969. The musicians include Ole Jaybird Drennan, Vic Clay, Bobby Rutledge, & Jerry Brightman. Other credits go to Henry Pawlak, Danny Koker, George Younce, Glenn Payne, & Mac Taunton. Side One is country music and Side Two is gospel music. Includes renditions of songs by Don Gibson, Bobby Goldsboro, & Roger Miller.

Jaybird Drennan died in December 2006.

For decades, Jaybird Drennan was synonymous with country music radio in Akron, if not most of Northeast Ohio.

His signature "Howdy, Partner" graced the airwaves for 27 years on Akron country outlet WSLR/1350, which was universally known as "Whistler". And in the years when Cleveland listeners had no access to country music on the radio, he served audiences in that market as well.
