Troy Onteare (Maxwell 56)

Troy Onteare (aka Don Teachout) was the owner of the Wheeling, West Virginia Maxwell 56 label. He played on each of the three 45's that were released on the label. In 1964 Troy released his first solo record. It contained the song "Marry the Money" which was very popular locally. Later in 1964 for his second 45 he recorded  a folky version of "The House Of The Rising Sun". The flipside of the record has the song "Crying Time" by Sara Jo and the Trovadors. In 1965 he played bass for the group called The Scarlets. It was very good record and was featured on the blog back in January, 2011.
