Benny & The Amigos

Benny Burch and his band were from Effingham, Illinois. They started in the 1960s, playing a solid mix of straight-up country stuff, ranging from the Delmore Brothers and Bob Wills to Merle Haggard and Harlan Howard... classic material. They also recorded several original tunes, including two weepers written by bassist L. D. Lankford and an instrumental by fiddler Fay Walls.
