But what era was that? Despite this collection's title, a highly accurate rockabilly discography actually lists the Sutter title as originating from a few years later, the fall of 1957, to be exact. This was when Sutter, singing and playing guitar and leading a group called Hub Sutter the Hub Cats, recorded two tracks for the Columbus label. I Don't Want My Baby Back, the sister song to rocker Glen Glenn's I'm Glad My Baby's Gone Away, is included on the Krazy Kat set, but the track that seems to have been the original single's A-side, Gone Goslin, remains a missing and coveted item, especially among listeners hoarding country songs about geese or other fowl.
The Krazy Kat set also includes Tellin' My Baby Bye Bye, definitely a spoke on the same thematic hub as the record's other Sutter song. Rockabilly discographies show no evidence of this song ever actually being recorded, however. In the late '80s, Sutter showed up on a live Ray Campi record, this time playing clarinet. As well as working with retro-rockabilly dude Campi, Sutter is also listed as one of the many sidemen that backed up Texas fiddler and singer Houston Perk Williams; this reference also indicates that Sutter is deceased. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, Rovi
