It's not unusual in this genre, but The Tornado Disasters sounds like Jesus of Nazareth (I know versions of Bro Claude Ely, Dallas Alexander or Joe Freeman) or even JD Jarvis Spaceship Song, just with different lyrics. Cool 45! Thanks!

Yeah it does sound similar to those, I just listened to the Joe Freeman version. So many of those Appalachian songs seem to be on the same family tree with each other. Thanks for reading!

There is a minor footnote about the McKean Sisters Record. 2KY is a Radio Station, not a TV station. TV didn't come to Australia until 1956 in the lead up to the Olympic Games in Melbourne.

Oh, that's interesting. The newspapers just said station, I never even considered that, thanks!
