This 1964 Grady Martin EP was used to definitively identify the 'Marijohn Wilkin, Fred Burch and Obrey Wilson' songwriter credits (given the similarly titled 'Ramblin' Rose' by Noel Sherman & Joe Sherman made popular by Nat 'King' Cole and many others in this period).

It is presumed that this performance is an instrumental. I haven't been able to identify if Grady Martin ever released 'Ramblin' Rose' (and it's B-side 'Big Bad Guitar') in the United States on any single, EP or LP. Yet, this link (with an 'Unknown Title' recorded on February 8, 1962, but keep in mind the 'Master renumbered by Decca as 111777' in it's note) --

...suggests this performance wasn't considered as strong as other performances or perhaps didn't have an audience in 1962. (Odd to consider, given Marty Robbin's 'Don't Worry' from 1960 went to #1 and the 1961 Grady Martin single 'Tippin' In/The Fuzz' both featured Martin's six-string fuzztone bass.) It seems this possible instrumental version of 'Ramblin' Rose' was later repurposed (with possibly new vocals) by 'Beauregard and The Tuffs' (Note the '111,777' matrix number on the 'Decca 31820' label) in July, 1965. Plus it included the very same B-side 'Big Bad Guitar' found on the Grady Martin EP (based on matrix numbers noted on recording session notes). Curiously, Beauregard and The Tuffs never had a follow-up single.
