Andrews and Wilkes were the first producers to place Clower on a record. Andrews spotted Clower as he spoke to a luncheon group in Lubbock and suggested that the fledgling comedian cut a record of his monologue. The result was Clower's "The Coon Hunt" on MCA Records, which was later awarded a platinum album for sales in excess of $1 million at the retail level. Andrews handled Clower's first five albums.<ref>''The Kansas City Star,'' January 7, 2007; ''Texas Country Reporter'', March 15, 2008 broadcast; [https://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=He+has+also+done+a+little+record+producing%2C+including+five+albums+for+the+late+country+comedian+Jerry+Clower.&btnG=Search+Archives&as_ldate=1%2F7%2F2007&as_hdate=1%2F7%2F2007 DJ has become a classic.] Section: G4;http://www.kdav.com/bandrews.html</ref>
