Yet another release that begs the questions who, where, why and when. There is absolutely no information other than song titles on this cassette release -- no artist, no details about where or when it was recorded.
There is not even a release date on the packaging of this tape, which was distributed in Canada (and possibly in the U.S.) by Madacy, a Quebec company. But judging by the song titles, it was in retail stores in the mid to late 1970s.
Country Sunshine, for instance, was a 1973 hit for Dottie West. Here's a link to the instrumental version from Country Guitars.
Country Sunshine
By the way, Country Sunshine began life as a Coca-Cola commercial.
Country Guitars is a pleasant enough listen for the most part and for instrumental completists is worth picking up for versions of Groovy Grubworm (remember Harlow Wilcox & the Oakies?) and Guitar Boogie (Arthur Smith). Thrift stores are probably your best bet.
