Connie Conway was a vocalist and trumpet player in Phoenix who was a close associate of Duane Eddy, Lee Hazlewood and the gang who made Phoenix a musical hotbed in the 1950s. He first came out with his album on Jamie, but Lee Hazlewood and Lester Sill soon converted him over to their own label, which caused some friction with Jamie. The result was that Connie Conway stayed with the new label, but Jamie retained the foreign rights and a few albums from his stint on the label.
