From the back cover: Porter Wagoner, Norma Jean, Speck Rhodes, Buck Trent and the Wagonmasters travel over 100,000 miles annually to take their show into the largest cities and the smallest crossroads. Reminisce with them about their travels, and you might hear of the times they have driven through heavy snows, flooding rains or 105 degree heat to entertain you in person. Nothing dampens their spirit, not even a flat tire thirty minutes before program time. And nothing can keep folks from coming out to see them. They play to capacity crowds night after night, such as the one that turned out in West Plains, Missouri, the night RCA Victor recorded the show.

Porter is a favorite with people wherever he goes – in person, on records, radio or television. The cover picture here shows Porter and the gang pleasing fans via WSM (Nashville). The Porter Wagoner television show is the largest sponsored "Opry-type" TV program in the world. Porter's rise to fame has been a solid one. His sincerity and easy smile hav endeared him to millions of people.

Do you recall the first country music show you ever saw in person? Perhaps it was a big tent show many years ago, or maybe it was only recently in a new air-conditioned auditorium. Regardless of the date and place, I bet it was a fun-packed experience you like to remember.

Now you can do more than remember. With this album you've got a front-row seat in the audience that saw Porter Wagoner – In Person in West Plains, Missouri, not long ago.

Porter welcome you with Howdy Neighbor Howdy, then strikes a familiar chord with some oldie such as A Satisfied Mind, An Old Log Cabin For Sale. He also includes his most recent single release: Find Out and My Baby's Not Here (In Town Tonight).

The show includes Buck Trent, the only boy who does the twist, plays and tunes the five-string banjo at the same time. Pretty Miss Norma Jean sings her heart out on Talk Back Trembling Lips, Private Little World, Head Over Heels and I Didn't Mean It. No "Porter Wagoner Show" is complete without a few funnies from Sadie's ever-lovin' Speck Rhodes. You'll roll with laughter at Speck's version of Sweet Fern.

Here's almost a full hour of real entertainment at your finger tips. – Jane Dowden, Media Director, Noble & Dury & Associates, producers of "The Porter Wagoner Show."
