If I Knew b/w At Least, Not Now

Ed King was a country & western singer/guitarist/songwriter based in Vancouver, B.C., Canada who wrote the country classic If I Knew which was recorded by Buck Owens in 1968 on his album titled: It Takes People Like You To Make People Like Me (Capitol ST-2841). Ed King recorded the song at Vancouver's famous Aragon Recording Studios in 1967 with a nice little country rocker titled At Least, Not Much, also written by Ed King as the flip side and the single was released on Aragon 406.

If I Knew written by Ed King is a melodic mid-tempo country & western love ballad with resonant vocals from Ed King, sweet-singing female backing vocalists, strummed guitar including a nice solo, tinkling piano, light drumming and bass.

In 1967, Buck Owens & The Buckaroos were performing at Vancouver's Queen Elizabeth Theatre and Ed King along with his band were the opening act. Buck Owen's heard Ed King sing If I Knew, he liked it and put it on his 1968 album titled It Takes People Like You To Make People Like Me (Capitol ST-2841).

At Least, Not Much also written by Ed King is an fast-tempo country rocker with rougher-edged vocals from Ed King, terrific musical accompaniment including driving bass, drums, strummed guitar with a good guitar solo.

While the Aragon label is best known for its rockabilly and rock & roll releases by groups such as The Prowlers and the Canadian V.I.P.'S, they also released some excellent original country & western material during the 1950's and 1960's by Kerry Regan, The Rhythm Pals, Ed King and others.
