Tragedy CD

Thomas Wayne
Tragedy CD

Thomas Wayne - younger brother of Johnny Cash’s guitarist Luther Perkins - was only eighteen years old when he recorded the million-selling Tragedy, a worldwide hit in 1958.
Although destined never to have another major success, he cut the original version of This Time and he co-wrote and recorded the original of Girl Next Door Went A-Walking.
All are included on this collection which presents all of Wayne’s known recordings between 1958 and 1962 across five different record labels.
The three bonus tracks feature Elvis Presley’s cover of Girl Next Door Went A-Walking, plus The Fleetwoods and Troy Shondell’s million-selling revivals of Tragedy and This Time respectively.
This is the first-ever Thomas Wayne compilation and around half these tracks have never previously appeared on CD.
