Gambler "Loser Always Pays" (Gambler Records, 19--?) (LP)
(Produced by James Hunter)
A Scottish band that had been around for a year before cutting this album, this band from from Morayshire included Douglas Sims (lead vocals and bass), Allan Thompson (pedal steel), Neil Hay (lead guitar) and David McLeod (drums). Their repertoire included a bunch of cover tunes, although the "title" track, "The Loser," written by K. D. McDonald, may have been original to this album.

George "Just For You: Country Favorites" (Avon Studios, 1979) (LP)
(Produced by Terry Davies & Huw Rowland)
A mononymic performer from, I think, Wales. Recording at a studio in tiny, idyllic Resolven (near Swansea) "George" is backed the album's producer, Terry Davies on guitar, along with Frank Jenkins (drums) and Gwyn Edwards (bass). The set is packed with cover tunes, some dating back to the Hank Williams days, and others of more recent vintage, such as his versions of "Funny Face" and "Help Me Make It Through The Night." It's possible there are a couple of originals, though there are no songwriter credits, so I couldn't say for sure. George doesn't give his last name, though the album's catalog number -- GDW-1001 -- may be based on his initials.

Gerry & The Ohio "Country And Western Time" (Emerald Records, 1970) (LP)
An Irish showband from Galway, with singles dating back to at least the mid-1960s, The Ohio featured lead singer Gerry Cronin, who bore more than a passing similarity to Johnny Cash. This album includes covers of country oldies such as "Deck Of Cards," "Letter Edged In Black," and "The Hanging Tree."

Gloria "Country Girl" (Release Records, 1974) (LP)
The first album from the sometimes-mononymic Irish country gal, "Gloria," who also went by Gloria Smythe, Gloria Darling and later as Gloria Sherry over the course of her career. Though she recorded steadily through the late 1970s, it wasn't until her 1978 gospel album (below) that she landed a really big hit: her version of Kris Kristofferson's "One Day At A Time" is said to have been one of the biggest Irish hits to date. Gloria was born in the town of Navan, County Meath, not far from Dublin, and was the daughter of a regional showband musician. She grew up singing in her dad's band, toured with other showbands and with singer Johnny McEvoy, until she finally set out on her solo career. She later married yet another showband artist, Don Sherry, and toured with his group as well. This one kicks off with their charting single, a duet with McEvoy called "Tomorrow Is Forever," which hit #14 on the Irish charts in 1973.

Gloria (Smyth) & Johnny McEvoy "Golden Duets" (Hawk Records, 1975) (LP)
(Produced by Gerry Hughes)
Temporarily billing herself as Gloria Smythe, she and McEvoy released this album full of country duets, a set worthy of Conway & Loretta, and/or Porter & Dolly, and borrowing liberally from the Nashville wellspring. Includes a version of the Bill Phillips hit, "Put It Off Until Tomorrow," which was one of Dolly Parton's earliest Music City recordings, a tune she both wrote and sang on in a 1966 duet.

Tony Goodacre "Roaming Round In Nashville" (Outlet Records, 1974) (LP)
(Produced by Bill McBurney & Keith Murray)
Originally hailing from Leeds, singer-guitarist Tony Goodacre started out in a an early 'Fifties skiffle band, later gravitating towards straight-up American-style country music by decade's end. In the late '60s he formed a band with steel guitarist Arthur Leyfield, who plays on here... Apparently Cliff Ledger & His Country Boys also back them on this album. Like many European country artists, Goodacre started out covering American country classics, but once he established himself as a national artist, be became known for championing homegrown UK songwriters.
