Johnny Paycheck Artist Snapshot:

Johnny Paycheck first came to public attention in the early 1960s as a honky-tonk singer in the George Jones mold, scoring hits with "A-11" and "That Lovin' Machine." During this era he penned the classics "Apartment #9," an early success for Tammy Wynette, and the eerie "(Pardon Me) I've Got Someone to Kill." A decade later Paycheck reemerged as an avatar of outlaw country, hitting the charts hard with such autobiographical fare as "I'm the Only Hell My Mama Ever Raised," "Drinkin' and Drivin'," and "Take This Job and Shove It." He passed away in February 2003, and was subsequently saluted on TOUCH MY HEART, an all-star tribute album.

Review

Uncut (p.122) - 4 stars out of 5 - "Paycheck was a one-man 'Outlaw' movement when Willie and Waylon were still playing Nashville's rules."

Title Note

Personnel: Johnny Paycheck (vocals, guitar).

Recording information: 1965 - 1966.

Although Johnny Paycheck (born Donald Eugene Lytle) looks surprisingly clean-cut and idol-worthy on the cover of ON HIS WAY, the music on offer is straight-up, tear-in-your-beer 1960s country. More than a decade before the bearded, cowboy-hat-wearing Paycheck hit the big time with the defiant "Take This Job and Shove It," the Ohio native was a baby-faced singer belting out songs in the country-crooner vein of George Jones and Ray Price. This excellent 2005 compilation presents 15 of Paycheck's best mid-'60s tracks, most notably the Hank Cochran-penned jukebox lament "A-11" and the lovelorn "Heartbreak, TN," by Jack Clement. Other standouts include the humorous tunes "Help Me Hank (I'm Fallin')," where Paycheck playfully begs Cochran to write him another hit, and "The Lovin' Machine," a gleefully innuendo-laced honky-tonk number. These recordings, which were frequently out of print before this Koch collection, are essential for Paycheck fans seeking to hear the late performer's underrated early work.
