About The Artist Tommy Hunter Record Reviews From The Billboard (BB) and Cash Box (CB) Date Label Rec No. Review 12/15/1962 (CB) Capitol 4890 Poor Little Bullfrog Songster Hunter heads a happy-sounding folk-country outing about a lovelorn bullfrog and his human counterpart. Could catchon. (Rating: B) Penny Wishes Shuffle-beat, mostly countrymarket plaintive portion. (Rating: B) 5/27/1967 (CB) Columbia 44104 Cup Of Disgrace Tommy Hunter does a nice job on this shame-filled woeser. May be lots of airplay and consumer interest in store for the songster as a result. (Rating: Bullet) In A Way Undercut is another sentimental tear-tugger. (Rating: B+) 12/9/1967 (CB) Columbia 44367 Charlie's Side Tommy Hunter could have a sizeable moneymaker in his possession with this heart-rending variation on the theme of the eternal triangle. Nice effort by the chanter. Half A World Away No comments 11/23/1968 (CB) Columbia 44684 Nowhere Bound With Greyhound A funk-stained tale of loneliness that may be chartbound. (Rating: Best Bet) I Can't Find A Space (To Park My Car) No comments Credits & Sources
