Totally Nifty Albums 2: Alex Zanetis's The Oil Fields

Tweet

For those of you familiar with songwriting credits who are into classic country artists such as Dean Martin, Jim Reeves, and Charley Pride, you may be aware of the songwriter Alex Zanetis. However, few people know that in the mid 60s, he released an album of his own, but with a very unconventional theme for country music, or music in general! It just so happens that the Zanetis family worked in the oil fields before Alex got into music, so he wrote twelve songs about working in the oil industry and released this very rare album!
