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.</ref>
