Country singer Ken Lemon never gave up his day job. The one time an employer refused to give him time off to go out on tour as part of a Joe Brown package or with his Viking Records labelmate Maria Dallas, he simply quit and found a new job.
Based in Auckland, his debut album was released in the United States, England and South Africa in the 1960s and he was a Loxene Golden Disc finalist with ‘Living In A House Full Of Love’, but by the late 1970s he had seemingly disappeared.
The Chicks provided vocal backing on Ken Lemon’s debut LP, This Hombre Called Lemon.
Ken Lemon appeared on Maria Dallas’s 1967 live album The Maria Dallas Country Show alongside Max McCauley, Leo Clarke, Tony And The Initials, George Tumahai and the writer of Dallas’s biggest hit, ‘Tumblin’ Down’, Jay Epae.
