 Tyler was signed to four-star records of Pasadena, California. T-Texas Tyler was the first country performer signed to the struggling label, and he found success. Soon, other country music artists, such as the Maddox Brothers and Rose, Webb Pierce, and yes, the Armstrong twins, had releases on four-star. The Armstrongs' first record was a version of Arkansas native Carolina Cotton's autobiographical song, Three Miles South of Cash in Arkansas.
