First printing of Kitty Wells Country Kitchen Cook Book, Vol. 1 (Madison, TN: Kitty s Cook Book Co., 1964). A charming tour-merch cookbook compiled at the height of Wells s fame, mixing down-home recipes (Texas Hash, Shrimp Creole, Cranberry Cobbler, Ozark Pudding) with a short "Life Story," single/album discography, and photo pages. This copy is signed three times on the contents page: "Kitty Wells," "Johnny Wright" (Wells s husband and long-time singing partner from the duo Johnnie & Jack), and "Ruby Wright" (their daughter, a country singer who performed in the trio Nita, Rita & Ruby). For collectors, the family triple-signature elevates an already scarce, self-published title. Stapled quarto in pictorial wrappers (pink gingham motif), "Vol. 1" at upper front; 32 pp. Approx. 11 x 8.5 in. Clean, bright interiors; light handling to wraps; contents page bears the three autographs in ink. Index at rear. Kitty Wells celebrated as the Queen of Country Music broke barriers in 1952 with It Wasn t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels , the first No. 1 country hit by a woman and a watershed for women in the genre (Britannica notes her title and pioneering status). Johnnie/Johnny Wright is her spouse and musical partner, and Ruby Wright their singer-daughter. Subjects: Kitty Wells; Johnny (Johnnie) Wright; Ruby Wright; Country & Southern cooking; Tour merchandise; Women in country music; 1960s music history; Nashville; Discography; Celebrity cookbook; Country music ephemera; Americana; Signed book.
