In 1956 sales of Country music had dropped disastrously and the industry`s answer was to drop most of their country artists and move the others to a more "pop" sound. Early efforts with choral backings such as Sonny James "Your love", Ferlin Huskys "Gone" and Jimmy newmans "Fallin Star" were (unfortunately) very successful and the sound of just a year earlier was artificially cut short while the steel guitar and fiddle were vanished from the studios.
But What was happening outside the studios? Countless bands were still active and playing the same music as they had previously, there was little that was new that they could relate to and perform live at this point but the real country-hillbilly sound was only recorded and heard on small label and "Custom" releases. It was not until the maturity of the new "Nashville Sound" in 1958-59, as well as the beginning of new sounds from the west coast, that the smaller bands begun to change. But a few bands still played pure hillbilly music in the 1960s.
