Description: Extremely Rare All 3 albums are autographed… You get all 3 Only 4 on DisCogs census Description of album per slipcue.com: “Throughout the 1970s, Oregon country crooner and radio deejay Charles "Peat" Oden (1929-2017) an old-timer who played local shows around the North Bend/Coos Bay area... He recorded at least one single as early as 1971 ("Shootin' The Bull/Headin' Home" on Pampa Records, a label in Bakersfield) as well as this album, released sometime later in the decade.

[Also worth noting: the liner notes were written by fellow country singer Tide Carwright, who played bass in Oden's band, The Country Gentlemen, back in the late 1960s; he mentions that Mr. Oden was also a radio station music director, but doesn't say where..” See pics for condition Shipped securely within 48 hours of purchase
