DAVE & SUGAR - Greatest Hits / New York Wine & Tennesse Shine (CD)

A Country/Pop trio that had 17 hits on the Billboard Country charts between 1975 and 1981. Nicknamed by some as “the Country Abba”, trio Dave & Sugar possessed a similar penchant as the Swedish group for picking out catchy tunes and giving them attractive arrangements, with Rowland’s powerful baritone vocals blending well with the females’ equally strong harmonies. Dave Rowland was no stranger to the music business. A formally trained musician, he worked briefly as lead singer with the famed Stamps Quartet when they toured with Elvis Presley in 1974. They worked as backing singers for Charley Pride before securing their own RCA Records deal. First time coupling on CD.
