About the artist
Unknown - "Valley Of The Brave U.S.A." / "Texas Huntsville Prison Blues" (Oak [Texas], 1969). Both the 45cat listing title and Discogs render the credit as "Troy Crane" alone (the flip sometimes "Troy Crane And The Three Texans") - the master's duo credit could not be confirmed against a label scan (45cat 403). Same artist and label as row 2660. No biography for Troy or any Kim Crane was found. [Source: Discogs; 45cat listing]
