The highest-debuting record of the week is Seattle folkie singer-songwriter Danny O’Keefe’s “Good Time Charlie’s Got the Blues.” Despite the home-field advantage Danny will only get to number twelve on the survey, not matching his national peak of number nine. “Buzzy Brown” by Tim Davis, an odd, part-spoken, part-sung, part somewhere in between novelty song that got to number 91 in Billboard, will go to number 34, though it will only last three weeks on the survey. Future country star Michael Murphey’s “Geronimo’s Cadillac” will beat its number 37 BB peak and make it to number 22. The other three debuts will wind up real close to their national peaks.
