Tex Morton was born Robert William Lane in Nelson, New Zealand, August 30, 1916.

Tex Morton lived a life of breath-taking achievement.

He attained fortune and huge international fame in several careers: a recording star (300 songs),

singer-songwriter, stage artist (touring sensation in North America, Europe, Australasia), circus entrepreneur, best-selling comic writer, Hollywood screen actor, and with a Doctorate from McGill University.

Tex was a world authority and renowned performer of hypnotherapy.

He was the top selling recording artist in Australasia in the 1930′s,

outselling Bing Crosby, Gracie Fields and the young Frank Sinatra; and in the 1950s was one of the most famous entertainers in North America.

His one-man performances took him from Nelson, New Zealand, to Sydney, Darwin, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Montreal, Chicago, Boston, New York, Paris, London, Jamaica, Asia and a thousand points in between.

He played with Chet Atkins, Hank Williams, Gene Autry and Floyd Cramer and came into contact with Errol Flynn.

In the age before television and constructed media personalities,Tex Morton was pure talent: the absolute entertainer.

Tex Morton died July 23rd, 1983 after a short illness.

This track is a rare Tex Morton gem.... it tells the tale of a dog with an attitude.

Sadly this track is no longer available commercially.
