Ten More Episodes of the Ozark Jubilee Have Been Ordered
Thanks to ongoing financial support coming in for the Ozark Jubilee Digitization Project, and in response to the strong demand for the episodes already digitized in partnership with the UCLA Film and Television Archive, ten more episodes of the early years of the Ozark Jubilee are being digitized. Several of the already digitized episodes have received 4,000 views or more in their first year of availability. Several scholars are conducting research into the Jubilee as well. All of the next batch of ten episodes will be from 1955 and early 1956. Some of the many featured performances in the next batch of episodes include the Foggy River Boys, the Philharmonics, the Promenaders, Webb Pierce, Jeanie Shepard, Bobby Lord, Wanda Jackson, Porter Wagoner, Marvin Rainwater, Sonny James, Lefty Frizzell, Bill Ring, Flash and Whistler (Goo-Go0 Rutledge and Slim Wilson), and of course Red Foley.
