I have a music mystery, can you help me solve the music mystery?
I used to own an album called The Entertaining World of Floyd Robinson. It was released on Hickory, allegedly.
I very rarely see this album anywhere other than from a single ebay seller.
Side 1 is clearly Floyd Robinson. It's boring, and smarmy.
Side two is acoustic, effects heavy, vaguely psychedelic, instrumental rockabilly covers of jazz and country standards.

I cannot believe that this is recorded by the same guy, or that it's from the mid sixties like it appears to be.
Can anyone help me track down the artist that recorded it? And discover more about it? Or more like it? I really love this.
@MmeLibertine By all means.
@ajroach42 I bet either Dana Countryman or Irwin Chusid could do some research. I looked very shallowly and saw that Robinson did sound engineer duty for Duane Eddy in the mid-60s, could it be possible Duane Eddy is uncredited yet responsible for some of those vaguely psychedelic, instrumental rockabilly covers?
@cosullivan Could be!
I can't find any info on the label, either, which is what's tripping me up the most.
It doesn't really sound like Eddy. It could very well be Floyd Robinson, if he was sound engineering. It sounds like an engineer experimenting.
Either way, it's cool stuff an dI wish I could find out more about it.
@ajroach42 Do you mind if I message this to a friend on
? He's a great detective when it comes to music, and may have some leads.
