Bobby Hodge (1932-2011) was a notable figure in the world of country music, recognized for his contributions as a Grand Ole Opry and Nashville recording artist. His prolific career spanned from 1958 to 1972, during which he recorded a multitude of tracks across various labels, primarily in Nashville. Many of his songs achieved regional success, with several even making their way onto national charts. This compilation CD encapsulates the essence of his musical journey, featuring original recordings that showcase his diverse style, which includes elements of Honky Tonk, Classic Country, and Rockabilly. Among the standout tracks is "Gonna Take My Guitar," originally released on Rebel Records, which has become a coveted item among Rockabilly enthusiasts.
Throughout his career, Bobby collaborated with some of the finest studio musicians of his time, enhancing the quality of his recordings. Notable contributors included Roy Acuff's Smoky Mountain Boys, featuring Shot Jackson on steel guitar, 'Bashful Brother Oswald' on dobro, Howdy Forrester on fiddle, and Melba Montgomery on guitar. This talented ensemble frequently accompanied Bobby during his performances on the Grand Ole Opry in the early 1960s. Additionally, he worked with a variety of session musicians, such as Johnny Gimble on fiddle, Weldon Myrick on steel guitar, Charlie McCoy on harmonica, DJ Fontana on drums, Bobby G Rice on steel guitar, and Jimmy Colvard on guitar, all of whom played pivotal roles in shaping his sound.
In 1972, Bobby made the decision to record his final album and relocate to Tampa, Florida. His tracks "I Wish I Could Fall In Love Today" and "You Took Her Off My Hands" earned him the prestigious "Single of the Year" award from the Florida Country Music Association. Even after retiring from recording, Bobby remained active in the entertainment scene, performing at various venues in Tampa, including his own nightclub, and hosting a radio show on a powerful 50,000-watt station based in Largo, Florida (WRFA). In his later years, he pursued another passion: Thoroughbred horse racing, where he and his wife, Mary, enjoyed racing at tracks across the country for several years, blending his love for music with his enthusiasm for the sport.
Bobby has since passed on but his music will live on forever!
