Park on the street or in the Post Office parking lot 2 doors south. The Johnny Mullins Collection finally has a Volume TWO album, this time featuring The Layton Hollow Gals trio, and here’s the lowdown: Melinda Mullins (vocals/guitar), Emily Higgins (vocals/guitar/mandolin) and Betsey Mae (vocals/upright bass) are the Layton Hollow Gals, named after the birthplace of Melinda’s father, the Ozarks’ Grammy-nominated songwriting elementary school janitor, Johnny Mullins. Johnny penned hit songs for the likes of Loretta Lynn, Porter Wagoner and Emmylou Harris, among many other artists. Since 2013 Melinda has been on a legacy mission to share her late father’s body of work, much of which she has found in shoeboxes of old cassette tapes containing previously undiscovered songs. The Layton Hollow Gals will share "Johnny songs" with harmony, passion and a good dose of fun, weaving in stories of Johnny’s life in the Ozarks and origins of his songs. Melinda, Emily and Betsey are thrilled about this brand-spankin' new 2024 release featuring material from deep inside the shoebox that have been itching to come out and play. CDs will be available for $10 (cash/Venmo/Paypal) and your support of this self-funded project is deeply appreciated!
