Chuck Pollard

“Pure Louisiana Honky-Tonk”

Quick Intro

Chuck Pollard is a Louisiana country/honky-tonk singer best known for his self-titled LP on Jin Records (JIN LP-9011). Though the album is now out of print, it captures a straight-from-the-dancehall mix of barroom shuffles, tear-in-the-beer ballads, and South Louisiana grit that fits squarely within our label family’s tradition.

In-Depth Profile

Cut during the classic Jin era, the Chuck Pollard LP showcases a working singer with a lean, unfussy band—steel guitar weaves, Telecaster snap, and steady two-step rhythms. The record plays like a Saturday-night set: country heart, Cajun-country cadence, and storytelling that keeps the dance floor moving. While details on Pollard’s broader career are scarce, this LP stands as a snapshot of real-deal, regional country from Acadiana’s orbit and a reminder of the bench strength that flowed through the Jin roster.

Signature Tracks

  • “I Wish George Jones Would Sing a Song” — a classic-country nod that wears its influences proudly and fits Pollard’s honky-tonk delivery.
  • “I Wonder If He Knows” — mid-tempo heartache with a jukebox-ready chorus and steel-guitar ache.
  • “The Other Side of Jeannie” — a barroom burner built on a driving backbeat and twangy lead lines.

Bonus Notes

  • The self-titled LP (JIN LP-9011) is out of print; copies surface only via collectors and secondary markets.
  • A handful of related 45s circulate among collectors, reflecting the album’s honky-tonk core and regional airplay history.
