about
A.K,A. Roy Acuff Jr Made only one single 'Victim of Circumstances / Looks Like The Sun Ain't Gonna… (1966) One of the great snarling garage/punk songs of the 60s. This 45 is kinda weird in that It’s one of those Rock & Roll-Country crossovers. Don Gant was a bigwig at Hickory Records and worked as a song writer for Acuff/Rose as well as being an artist himself. The song here was written by Don Turnbow who was probably an in house writer like Gant and has the distinction of writing the classic “Hipsville 29 B.C Roy Junior was Roy Acuff Jr., whose Dad was one of the founders of Acuff-Rose Publishing, of course. Don Gant went on to head up Acuff-Rose. Gant had a very interesting life with a lot of rock 'n roll connections, and was also the lead singer of the Neon Philharmonic.
