One of the things I have enjoyed recently has been helping Red Kelly with his Soul Detective blog. The latest case is on J Hines who was Roy C's guitarist and co-writer as well as having a few releases himself. You can catch up on the latest case over at Soul Detective.One of the sides we dug up was James Shaw's Got To Get Me A Wife which would appear to be his only release though he did run a label called Shaw and worked with Little Buster amongst others on Jubilee. He is not to be confused with the Mighty Hannibal (James T Shaw) but it would be interesting to find out more about him.... anyone now? The above song is a lovely lilting Roy C type groover.

I have read your current article on Soul Detective and would like to inform you that your information is wrong. I am the daughter of Roy C. Hammond and the administrator of his affairs. He is in no way connected with Shelia Cauthen. She is not the head of anything in this company. Mr. Hammond (My father) has no dealings with Roya Records. He is not under Roya Records label. This company is not associated with Mr. Hammond. Mr. Hammond is the CEO of Carolina Record Dist. and Three Gems Records. He is under his label and his label only. Ms. Cauthen does not own any of J. Hines masters. All masters on Nationwide, Three Gems and Alaga is owned solely by Roy C. Hammond. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact Mr. Hammond at Carolinarecords@aol.com or you may contact him at Carolina Records at (803) 584-3704
