Charles Perry / Berry - One Room Country Shack

[Gaz T]

Back in the mid 80s as a young Mod lad in North Wales I used to attend local events in North Wales run by "North Wales Soul Club"

Great days - my great friend Rich Buckley and I cut out teenage Soulful teeth at these local North Wales nights.

There were a couple of different venues, one being a venue called TTs Nightclub which was part of the ancient Abergele Castle buildings, really different.

The events were organised (I Think) by Mark Speakman and, Chico, Mark Speakman, Chico, Phil Blacknell and Chris Fenny DJing mainly with the odd guest.

So a favourite of mine that used to get played at the venue was "one room country shack" which was introduced as Charles Perry or Charles Berry 

It was a great up tempo RnB Soul version, I loved it,

So 40 years have passed and I have searched for "one room country shack" and have never ever been able to find out who or what it was.

I imagine it was a cover up played off a studio acetate or something.

My question is - Who actually played this record and who was it by ?

Was it a one off studio acetate ?

Does anyone remember this record being played?

I  never heard it played anywhere else.

Anyone have any clues ?

I would love to know what it was and who played it.

The ‘assumed’ song title you mention "one room country shack", sounds like some of the lyrics at the start of this track by Ronnie Milsap……could it be this?

Would @funkyfeet recall the track?

That’s a decent tune, but the record I remember had loads of horn breaks and was a bit more uptempo 

I always thought it was a version of the blues standard but it could be a version of this listening to this 

Thanks for that
