HIGHWAY
RECORDS

Highway Records, was from Redditch, England. The first recordings of UK folksinger Dave Cartwright, then 22 years old. This 5-track, 7", 33-1/3 RPM Mono EP offers pleasant, typical folkie covers of Mr. Tambourine Man and Don't Think Twice, along with Where I'm Bound, Hey Nelly Nelly and Man of Constant Sorrow. Dave Cartwright is a UK singer, songwriter, guitarist and author. Born in Haslemere, Surrey in April, 1943, he grew up in Amblecote, West Midlands where, on lead guitar and vocal, he formed his first rock'n'roll group - The Crossfires - in 1959. He then joined the now-legendary Kidderminster outfit The Clippers, before 'discovering' folk music in 1964. His subsequent folk club work and the signing of a deal with Transatlantic Records in 1970 enabled him to turn professional in 1971. He is best known for his seventies solo albums and TV appearances on BBC daytime show "Pebble Mill at One", and as a former music presenter on BBC local radio in the UK Midlands, where he hosted two shows, 'Rock'n'Roll-The Vintage Years' and 'Folkus', an acoustic showcase. Both shows ran for over 13 years. He now resides in Worcestershire producing and issuing his own recordings on his Luna label, whilst still performing in the UK and Europe.
