Don’t Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes CD

Slim Willet
Don't Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes – North West Texas Hillbilly 1950-1959 CD

Singer, songwriter, record label owner, DJ and journalist, there were not many hats that Slim Willet didn’t wear during his three decades in the music business.
Slim only had one song – and it was one that his record label boss disliked and was reluctant to release - but what a hit Don’t Let The Stars Get In Your Eyes turned out to be!
It took Slim high into the country charts before becoming an even bigger hit – a #1 in fact - for fellow country artist Skeets McDonald, and topping the pop charts for Perry Como in both the US and UK.
Moreover it was the biggest chart hit record that his label Four Star Records scored in its entire 30+ years of existence.
Everything else that Slim wrote and recorded took second place to ‘Stars’, but he did make many other excellent recordings.
This extensive overview of almost his entire career features the very best of them, from out and out hillbilly and his attempts at rockabilly to a rare late 1950s album of songs about the oil rigs that were the main industry of his North West Texas home base.
If you like 1950s country music, there’s a lot of it to enjoy in this collection.
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes – but do let Slim’s songs get in your ears!
