MAC BOSWELL & THE OUTCATS...Wonder records

Vocal / instrumental band from Nashville, Tennessee that began its career in 1957 at West End High School by James Malcolm "Mac" Boswell and composed by John Clark, Fiske Minton, Harry Williams and Brown Ellis, they rehearsed many days a week and They participated in school parties and talent shows.

In early 1959 Searching for new material they went to Jacksonville, Florida to see Mae Axton who co-authored "Heartbreak Hotel". Mae took a liking to the boys and worked with them improving their style. The boys really dug ib and worked hard for another ten months, playing as many tours and dates as they could, all this work led the group to the studios of Bill Lowery of National Recording Corporation in Atlanta in May where they recorded "I Thought You Knew / Rang Dang Do Lally" released in July 1959 on Wonder Records. 

This recording was very popular locally and the group performed on TV and even had their fan club.
