Billy Lee Riley was the first recording artist on the Fernwood label, cutting "Think Before You Go" and "Trouble Bound." Jack took the tapes to Sun Records to cut the masters. Sam Phillips bought the masters and gave Billy Lee Riley a contract to record at Sun. Jack and Slim were joined by Scotty Moore (Elvis's guitarist) early in 1958 when Elvis was drafted. Scotty began working at Fernwood in production and got a big national hit with Thomas Wayne's "Tragedy" in 1959. Thomas Wayne (Perkins), Scotty's former paperboy and brother of Johnny Cash's guitarist, Luther Perkins, felt he had a connection once Scotty joined Fernwood. His first single, "Saturday Night," was a flop until some disc jockey decided to play the flip side, "Tragedy," which caught on and peaked at number eight on the national charts. Fernwood cut 42 records over the years. Among its notable recordings were Travis Wammack's "Scratchy," his national hit which was cut when he was only 17. Some of the artists who recorded at Fernwood were Ace Cannon, Nick Charles, Joe Lee (who also was the A&R man), and Dewey Phillips. Among the Fernwood subsidiaries were Mid-South Records, Pure Gold, and Whirl-A-Way."(kilde: hjemmeside - sjekk ut siden for mere info om selskapet))
