I must admit I only know a few songs, mostly Rockabilly or lets call it Western Bop. He was a very fine singer and his "It would be a doggone lie" is always a highlight of our shows. Andy ------------------ |

Autry Inman had some good songs back in the early 50's. The band I was in at the time did two of his songs every night on our 6 nite sit down job. The songs were "Uh Huh Honey" and " Thats Alright". He also played bass on some of the sessions in Nashville at the time. Best Regards, Jody. |

He wrote a pile of songs and recorded for close to 20 years. Made at least a half dozen LPs, including one "adult comedy" type thing done live at the Frontier Club in Kansas City in the 60s. He supposedly played a little steel, too. He got a bit of airplay in the late 60s when he did an LP of "patriotic" songs for Epic called "Ballad of Two Brothers", containing the title track and others like "Vietnam Blues", "There's a Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere", and "Universal Soldier". I think he lived in Nashville for a long time--a friend of mine ran into him working at the offices of a small label probably around 1980. I stand to be corrected, but I don't think he is among the living.

I believe he wrote the great George Jones hit, "You Once Lived Here" also recorded by Johnny Paycheck. |

I've been reading this forum for several months but this is my first post. I remember backing Autry, on bass, at a schoolhouse auditorium show in '58 or '59, near Chattanooga. We hung out some and he impressed me with his lack of ego, unusual then as now, and his honesty. When I complimented him on the nice Caddy he was driving he told me that he borrowed it from a friend because he didn't think his old car would make the trip down from Nashville. I asked him if he'd written any songs lately and he said that he had but didn't think they were very good. After hearing a few I told him that I sure wished I could write "bad songs" like that. |

he wrote and sang one of my favorite songs." Love Me Today" http://www.users.voicenet.com/~vanallen/luvme.html He also wrote "I Don't Believe You've Met my Baby" that the Wilburns(i think?) did and Alison Kraus... another damn great song |

Autry Inman was from Alabama and has been dead for several years. I believe he died in Gallatin, Tennesse just up the road from where I live. I would say that his bigest hit was, "Let's Take The Long Way Home". He lived for several years in South Nashville. I believe he may have been an Opry member at one point in his life. |
