DECEMBER 2014 Newsletter ------Yesterday & Today Records P O Box 54 Miranda NSW 2228 phone: (02) 95311710 [email protected] www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au ------Pretty late for a newsletter but it doesn’t matter. I have found that no one really buys from me for Christmas anyway; they buy for their self gratification and to be honest there is NO better reason. Secondly I was fortunate enough to go to the USA on a buying trip spending a bit of time in both and Music City, Nashville. The results as far as buys go are reflected in the newsletter. As far as quality goes there has never been a newsletter to rival this one. Don’t take my word though...check it out.

In Nashville I was fortunate to see the Timejumpers and also (for the first time) the Grand Ol Opry which had commenced its winter run. Highlight of the latter was . They don’t really do anything new but have borrowed well and are just so entertaining. is now a full time member of the Timejumpers but they are equal opportunity employers, so to speak and Vince is an equal member.

Ameripolitan Music Awards , the Nashville mainstream variety, has departed so far from “country” music that some are starting to call “country music” as we know it (not as Nashville promotes it) something else. Well, the great man Dale Watson is anyway. For the past couple of years he has been promoting the Annual Music Awards. The artists who are nominated are the artists who are our favourites; Amber Digby, Miss Leslie, Justin Trevino etc. In addition they have an annual DJ award and I am pleased to say my great mate, The Cosmic Cowboy, Eddie White, has been nominated. Eddie does a weekly show on community radio station 2RRR, 88.5FM. Check it out at 2rrr.org.au then click on programme guide and go to Friday afternoon and click on Cosmic Cowboy Cafe where you can check playlists. To check out the Ameripolitan award nominees simply google “Ameripolitan” and away you go. Cast your vote for the good stuff and the Cosmic Cowboy welcomes any votes.

An opinion I was watching a Bill Haley dvd of a 1979 concert. Although recorded less than eighteen months before he died it wasn’t bad. Sure the Comets were actually an English pick up , but they were good and Bill himself was surprisingly unchanged. Some of it hinted at just going through the motions but one surprise song really energised the whole show. That was “Me & Bobby McGee”...of course done Bill Haley style. You could tell it by the actions of the crowd and the band and Bill himself.

I already rated it one of the best but ol’ Bill really set me thinking. How many songs are there that could be sung by either a male or female without changing any of the lyrics? Well technically a he has to become a she but that is neither here nor there. It is also able to be sung as a , a folk song, a rock song and as in the case of Bill Haley a rock& roll song (with a lot of roll!). It is also a road song, a driving song, a staple of country music. It is also a song that practically anyone can sing. I would go as far as saying it is a hard song to stuff up. A performer on Peel St in Tamworth is the only one I can think of who was able to remove any semblance of worth from this joyous ode.

Sometimes I think there is a lot of snobbery in country music especially when discussing the merits of songs. It almost seems imperative that someone picking their “Best Ever Country Song” has to go for something that is sad. “Me & Bobby McGee” is joyous. Nothing wrong with that but it means the obvious is sometimes overlooked. I have nothing against either “He Stopped Loving Here Today” or “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” but how many lines of the pithy ilk of “Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose” do they contain?? Or “Nothing ain’t worth nothing but it’s free” or even “I’d trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday.” Yes, you are scratching your head.

Such is the snobbery in country music circles that it has topped the pop charts but never the country charts. Janis Joplin was a blues shouter but there is practically no critic who doesn’t rate her almost straight country take on “Me & Bobby McGee” as her best ever work. Come to think of it remove the word “practically” from that. An alternate, slightly less adorned unreleased version, which has found its way on to several Janis’ compilations, is even better.

Damn it is a great song. Simplicity is often the sign of greatness but something that may seem simple but has an inherent complexity is even better. That my friends is why “Me And Bobby McGee” is the greatest country song ever. I write this with the greatest respect for who is suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease. His debut release “Kristofferson”, remains the greatest single singer in the history of country music and hopefully he will go on singing “Me & Bobby McGee” for as long as he runs. (Technically the song is attributed to both Kris and Fred Foster who was head of . Fred is said to have given Kris the title and apparently it was about a Monument employee, Bobby McKee. Fred said “I have a good title for a song, ‘Me & Bobby McKee”. Kris misheard this as “McGee” and as they say, the rest is history.)

ALL THE NEW STUFF

A note on postage...as with previous newsletter there are a lot of heavy items so again maximum Australia post is $17 equivalent to a 5kg satchel. Again some of the books and box sets in particular are quite hefty.

Ronnie Milsap “The RCA Collection” $130 This is a gem with his 21 RCA albums all in separate reproductions of the original lp covers. It has been issued as Milsap was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2014. His output is marked by quality and many albums have never been on cd, most in fact. His record speaks fro itself with 40 country number ones. Peter Cooper, main country music writer for Nashville’s daily newspaper, “The Tennessean” provides the notes. He could do a pure by followed by a love song without missing a beat. One of the best. All of these albums are reproduced. (1973) Pure Love (1974) (1975) (1975) 20/20 Vision (1976) Live (1976) It Was Almost Like A Song (1977) (1978) Images (1979) Milsap Magic (1980) Out Where The Bright Lights Are Glowing (1981) There s No Gettin Over Me (1981) Inside (1982) (1983) (1984) Lost In The Fifties Tonight (1985) Christmas With Ronnie Milsap (1986) Heart & Soul (1987) Stranger Things Have Happened (1989) (1991) My Life (2006)

Sylvie Simmons – Sylvie (Light in the Attic) $28 Sylvie is a writer...a magazine and book writer that is. She is featured in the world’s best music magazine, Mojo, and has written books on Leonard Cohen and Neil Young. When in LA and driving I always listen to National Public Radio (NPR) which is like a better version of the ABC. They just so happened to be interviewing Sylvie about her then forthcoming album, which is this gem. It is the type of album that you know you are going to love and can’t wait for . For lack of better comparison Sylvie most reminds of Kimmie Rhodes a la “West Texas Heaven” with perhaps a bit of , Iris Dement and Marianne Faithfull (the early Marianne) thrown in for good measure. I would also say this is the most unadorned album I have ever heard with many tracks just featuring Sylvie backing herself on a ukulele. There is some subtle and keyboard accompaniment. As sparse as “West Texas heaven” is , it is almost like a Meatloaf album in comparison to this. The thing is it works remarkably well. Sylvie’s songs are wonderful and the melodies lie there naturally not adorned by effects. It doesn’t take long to get into them. “Lonely Cowgirl” may be the most beautiful catchy song you will even hear. If you are not singing along after the first playing there is something wrong. “Town Called Regret” really reminds of Marianne Faithfull and even infuses it with a word that Marianne often drops, but with a sweetness that will enchant. This could be the soundtrack for a Morricone western with tumbleweeds rolling across the screen. But it will be the most mesmerizing things which gets better every play. All songs by Sylvie apart from the Cascasdes “Rhythm of the Rain”. Just amazing. As far as female singer songwriter albums go (yes our perennial favourite category ‘female folky types’) this is a gold medal winner.

Chuck Cusimano “The Collection Volume 1” Cusimusico $30 24 tracks. I will say this is an exclusive as Chuck is only selling this direct for more than I am charging I might add. Such is the nature that whilst I prepaid Chuck he didn’t touch the money until such time he knew I had received the cds. Chuck has proven to be a revelation over the last couple of years. He has been as well received as anyone I have ever carried. This is a collection of ‘pre-recorded, pre-released and never released music along with new recording’. All 24 tracks are on cd for the first time. I was trying to figure out why Chuck is not a huge star and I was going to adapt a review I did a few years ago for Claude Diamond, who was similar to in quality and style to the great . I thought that one of my best. It was a case of “There but for God go I” that Diamond could have been the star and Prine the unknown. But that adaptation (to feature Chuck and ...yes Merle Haggard...that is how good Chuck is) would have not been that apt as Chuck has had a body of music but it has just not made it out of the area in which it was released. It was then I realised that the biggest difference between Chuck Cusimano and Merle Haggard has been one of responsibility. Chuck has never wandered and has been the responsible family man while Haggard literally played out the lyrics of “Rambling Fever” from the `moment his career started. Had Chuck done the same then who knows? Chuck has always been great. “Bummin’ on Fitzhugh” is from 1973 about a trip to . I hate to compare to Haggard all the time but this as good as anything he has ever done. The flip of this 1973 single “Lights of Nashville” is a truckin’ style gem that is just as good. Reminds a little of Tom T Hall as well. “Ehen She Does Me Right” had me thinking I had heard do this before......Johnny Bush but no like all 24 tracks it is by Chuck Cusimano. You can almost see the saliva running down the Swedish Cowboy’s chin as he enjoys this glorious toe tapper. “Glory Ride” is a rodeo song. No one knows country better than Chuck. This is as good a rodeo song as you have heard. A couple of songs are a little low on audio quality as they were lifted of an old audio cassette but they are worth hearing. Chuck should re-record them. “Getting Acquainted With the Blues’ is a great shuffle but one of the muddy cassette lifted tracks. “Lonely Texas Highway” is also lofi but of the quality we love. The remaining 21 are suberb quality. It is a treat to listen to. It is like an old friend but is really someone you have met for the first time. As good as it gets. Imagine if you are a country fan of the classic country...Willie, Cash, Waylon, Ray Price etc BUT had never heard Merle Haggard. Listening to this cd for the first tiem would be akin to that.

Ben Bullington “Ben Bullington” (Wind whipped) $28 The first three albums could all be albums of the year. The story of the artists that makes the most interesting tale is unquestionably Ben Bullington. Ben was a medical doctor. One day he received the worst news possible, he was dying of cancer and had a year to live. In his final year he set about becoming a recording artist and made not one but 5 albums. This was the last. It is an amazing story. You could not help making comparisons to Eva Cassidy who had a great talent and similarly dies too young but with a fine recording legacy. Whilst his voice is different (John Lomax said he reminds of a less frantic Chris Ledoux)you can’t help thinking Billy Joe shaver when it comes to the style of the song. That is a compliment. I am talking about the classic less adorned Shaver style. “His Chosen Time” tells of a mine owner trying to dispel blame from himself after miners are killed in a cave in. “I’ve Got to Leave you Now” is so real considering his history but sung with no pity. You will get goosebumps. “Here’s to Hopin” has Mary Chapin Carpenter helping out on backing vocals. “Country Music (I’m Talkin’ to You)” is about the demise of that genre...”Sunday Morning Coming Down would not be on your radio now”...so true. Ben has been embraced by as on of the best he (Rodney) has ever heard and that is a great compliment. “The Last Adios” was the only song written by Bill Payne (of Little Feat fame) who plays and despite the title was written for guitarist Stephen Bruton but is a scary final track on Ben’s final album. Where do we go from here? Superb.

Fayssoux “I Can’t Tait” Red Beet $28 Now here’s a bit of info for you. You DON’T pronounce it “Fay-sue” but rather “Fess-oo”...though I am told she will answer to both and I still think it is a remarkably sweet and wonderful name no matter how you say it. As on her previous album production by Peter Cooper is exceptional. Fayssoux of course was married to John Starling and was one of the best vocal contributors to Emmylou’s Warner Brothers albums. Check out her beautiful vocals on “Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town”. This is her second solo album sees here songwriting emerge and she is responsible for 5 of the 12 songs. Perhaps the closest to the sound we knew from those days would be David Ball’s excellent “When the Thought of You Catches Up With Me”. Tom T Hall guests as a duet vocalist on his “I Made a Friend of a Flower Today’ and Peter Cooper offers a vocal on “Some Things Are too Good to Last” that you could almost say reminded of what Fayssoux herself used to provide. Much has a light bluegrassish folky touch which never interferes with Fayssoux’s lovely vocals. A couple of jazzier numbers offer fine contrast. And her take on “Mama’s Hungry Eyes” is delightfully laid back. “My Brain” more than borrows a little of the melody of “This Train” and has some graet guitar passages. Fans of the old Emmylou will be died in the wool fans of the new Fayssoux.

George Strait “” DELUXE Edition Walmart exclusive version 2 CD+ DVD $60 This is expensive but worth it, In addition to 2CDs with 28 tracks...compared to one cd with 20 tracks on the local edition you get a DVD with a running time of 181 minutes with commentary from Strait and interviews with the guest artists. Fantastic.

Larry Cordle & Lonesome Standard Time “All Star Duets” (Mighty Cord) $28 Of course the highlight on the previous album is the duet with Strait & on “Murder on Music Row”, the song written and first performed (brilliantly) by Larry Cordle. I always though that Nashville hierarchy was so dumb that this brilliant number was song of the year yet the song demeaned them beyond belief. Maybe this version with Daryle Singlettary is the best yet. Some of the artists who hit with the song written by Larry duet with him here including Garth (“Against the Grain”), Ricky Skaggs (“Hiughway 40 Blues’) and Kathy Mattea (“Lonesome Standard Time”). “Rough around the Edges” is not the Vern Gosdin song and features . Othere guests include & .

J P Harris & THE Tough Choices “Home Is Where the Hurt Is” (Cow Island) $28 JP looks like Ned Kelly and sings hard core honky tonk in a superb Dale Watson-theme infused style with nuanced voice . Go figure? All the songs are original and embrace the gamut of honkytonkdom..cheating, drinking, a little truck driving and more. Backing is superb with his touring group being assisted by Chance McCoy, an amazingly personable member of Old Crow Medicine Show (a star in their lineup...he dances & whistle too) ...an alternate version if you like of Donny Herron who provided all the subtlety of BR549, though I think JP wins due the original material. “A Breaking Heart” is a classic hurting country song. “Young Women & Old ” is that song that appeals to the crowd whilst remaining steadfastly country. Contrast that with the balladry of the title track (home is where the hurt is...so I stay here each night). It is impossible to pick a bad song as there simply aren’t any. This type of album is one whic is refreshing as it is traditional. Brilliant.

Ray Scott “Ray Scott” $28 On the face of it Ray is a honky tonker of the highest order but also has a sensitive side “Papa ‘n Mama” is truly serious whereas the rest of the album has a outlaw style levity about it. “Tijuana Buzzkill” is all about getting set up in Mexico and “Drinkin’ Beer” is a honky tonk romp as you’d expect. Great singer with a deep engaging voice. Right up there with his previous.

Randy Travis “Influence Vol 2: The Man I Am” WB $20 Randy is apparently in good shape again. He has sworn off the grog and has regained his health after several crises in the past couple of years. Vocally he is as good as he ever was. The 12 tracks reflect songs that influence him and I would have to say the Kristofferson double of “Sunday Morning coming Down” and “For the Good times” get the prize but then again I think I might have to say the same about “Set Em Up Joe” and “There I’ve Said It again” which was a big hit for Bobby Vinton.

Tom Russell “The Western Year” 2CDs $30 (Rock Beat) Well the award for the most attractive artwork on any cd all year goes to with a painting by WR Leigh embracing the cover. He was apparently one of the great American artists who embraced the Western genre. The 34 tracks include 3 live versions of classics that are previously unrleased: “Navajo Rug” (which features Katy Moffatt...I always remember going to see Katy with the Cosmic Cowboy and he asked he if she was the Katy lying naked on the worn out Navajo Rug. I don’t know if the reply was of the “sheepish” or “if Looks could kill” nature...). Other new tracks include a version of the glorious cock fighting ballad “El Gallo Del Cielo” and “The Sky Above, the Mud Below”,. This is so wonderfully presented. His story song “California Snow”, also done with the utmost perfection by co-write, , is one of the best of its kind and darn poignant too. Anyone who can do Dylan’s “Lily, Rosemary & the Jack of Hearts” and pull it off is okay by me. A mix of covers and originals and all gloriously done.

James Hand “Stormclouds in Heaven” $20 (DJP) Special price. James has been a hero since his debut album and his first gospel album finds him in fine form. As you would expect they are not covers but rather James’ own interpretations which often have a religious message rather than being a straight gospel song, as in the military inspired “I Wear the Scars (Bobby’s Song)” . He reminds us of intervention from the other side on the “The Devil Ain’t no Quitter”. There is an excellent line up of musicians on this including former members (steel & ), Jason Roberts on and the wonderful on piano. “No One Ever Dies” embraces the more traditional gospel sentiment whilst the opener “Why oh Why” also reinforces the non-sombre nature of James Hand’s music. Like all his albums this is a n abject statement in tradition.

Poco “Crazy Love: The Ultimate Live Experience” DVD $28 2DVDS features founding members Rusty Young (the one constant through the group’s existence) , Richie Furay and George Grantham along with long time member Paul Cotton. Comparsions are being made with the Eagles “Hell Freezes Over” DVD with thee comment generally being Poco is better. Certainly “Crazy Love”, “Rose of Cimarron” and the classic “Kind Woman’ are as good if not better than anything the Eagles did. “Kind Woman” was actually performed on the final album (before Poco) with Rusty Young performing the distinctive intro. He hit it off with Furay and Jim Messina and Poco resulted. 45 years down the track Young has announced he will be retiring to write a book about the journey. This is an expanded version of a previously issued long out of print dvd.

Ricky Skaggs and Sharon White “Hearts Like Ours” Skaggs $28 First duets album by the long time married Skaggs and White. All embrace the homely lifestyle they embrace which in Ricky’s case includes “pass the biscuits & gravy”.

Jason Roberts “That’s My Home” $28 Jason is the fiddle player with Asleep at the Wheel but has been doing outside projects for a while, most notably playing in a stage show. “How it Lies, How It Lies, How it Lies” is the most Asleep at the Wheel inspired song and a darn good one. All time Y&T hero Dale Watson wrote the great “Everybody’s Somebody in Luckenbach” and it is a beauty. “Lest We Forget” is a Jason Roberts’ original, a terrific traditional song. Indeed the overall focus is less oriented than we may expect. The only instrumental “Jesse Polka” was a favourite of the lamented Baylor Brothers. Two standards are given a jazzy treatment thanks to participation from Hot Club of Cowtown members. “Bye Bye Blackbird”, appropriately the concluding number is just great. Oh, yes Bill Anderson’s “My Last Dime” is another gem. The glorious feeling of being “gemmed” out. Well in line for album of the year. Those who loved that great Texas fiddler/ singer Kelly Spinks will love this.

Marty Stuart And His Fabulous superlatives “Saturday Night/ Sunday Morning” 2Cds (Thirty Tigers) $28 One side of traditional country music style and a second cd of gospel which is far from tradition. He does covers ( ‘Life Has Its Little Ups & Downs’) and originals and jam like crazy on “Streamline” withTommy Emmanuel proving again how great a guitar player he is. Unfortunately the Marty Stuart Show is not on DVD...that is a pity. What I have seen is superb. The gospel cd pays heed to both black and white gospel and “Boogie Woogie Down the Jericho Road” harks back to the days Marty was a member of the O’Sullivans, when their favourite was “A Wonderful Time Up There”, which of course is also known as “Gospel Boogie”

Porter Wagoner & “Just Between The Two Of Us: Complete Duet Recordings” Bear Family 6 CDS + 80+ page hard cover book. $240. Hard to believe that a lot of fans didn’t take to Dolly when she replaced Norma Jean in Porter’s show. But that soon changed. I loved the epic tear jerkers such as “The Party” and “Jeannie’s Afraid of the Dark” but there is also a lot of levity in the mix. 160 tracks and around 7 hours playing time. Great notes with a forward by none other than . As one learned scribe said “The music is fabulous and the book is sensational.” I would add the box set is extremely attractive. Includes some great rarities

Larrys Country Diner DVDs Larry’s Country Diner is a cable tv show set around a mythical diner run by Larry and featuring one or two weekly guests who perform. Larry is actually the owner of the company who put out the Country Family Reunion DVDs and these are part of that company. Each Season is 4 DVDs Each season is $90. Artists featured are: Season 1 Bill Anderson/ James Gregory/ The Whites / Charlie McCoy/ John Conlee/ T Graham Brown/ Gene Watson/ etc Season 2 / Sonny Curtis/ Riders in the Sky/ / Moe Bandy/ Geo. Hamilton IV/ Shelley West/ etc Season 3 Joey & Rory/ T Graham Brown/ Justin Trevino/ Suzy Bogguss/ Dailey & Vincent/ Ralph Emery/ / Larry Cordle etc

David Frizzell & Friends “Present a Country Tribute; remember Me” CD + DVD $28 21 tracks on the cd. The DVD is about the making of the album with interviews. Sonny Curtis was actually in Buddy Holly’s band prior to his forming the Crickets and was later a member of the Crickets after Buddy’s passing. Apart from David Frizzell musical guests include Merle Haggard who does the lead vocal on “Remember Me” and “That’ll Be the Day”, T Graham Brown, the aforementioned Sonny Curtis, Helen Cornelius and of the Statlers.

Time Jumpers “Jumpin’ Time” DVD Live at the Station Inn (Crosswind) 2hrs $28 This is back in after seeing them and being reminded how good they are. They still perform every Monday night but now at Third & Lindsley instead of the Station Inn which they simply outgrew. Third & Lindsley would be 3 times as big as the Station Inn but they were still hanging from the rafters. Some SAD news. Dawn Sears, wife of Timejumpers leader Kenny Sears passed away this week from cancer. A great vocalist. Also on this is Carolyn Martin who doesn’t perform with the group now. But her vibrant personality shines through. I would beseech everyone to watch this.

Lee Ann Womack “The Way I’m Livin’ “ Walmart edition $28 Had two bonus tracks not on the album, her first for that great independent label Sugar Hill, “Satisfied Mind” and “Cup of Loneliness”. 13 tracks all up

Alabama “Angels Among Us: Hymns & Gospel Favourites Deluxe Edition” Crackerbarrel. $28 The title song was one of Alabama’s last major hits and was written by Becky Hobbs. There are a mix of original and traditional songs. This version has 3 bonus songs not on the standard, “Knights of Molite”, “The Last Altar Call” and “Oh the Lord Has Been Good to me”. It reminds a tad of their spiritual cousins, in places. Carries the Gaither label in conjunction with Crackerbarrel.

Suzette Lawrence & the Neon Angels “Tear Up the Honky Tonk” $28 You have to go all the way back to the “Town South of Bakersfield Volume 3” to see the origins of this hard core bunch of honky tonkers who have now shifted to Nashville. Borders on the cusp of rockabilly in places. You sure as hell ain’t going to be nodding off when this is on the jukebox.

Jo Ann Campbell “Juke Box Pearls” Boogie Woogie Country Girl” Bear Family $32 Whopping 37 tracks..the title is a cover of Big Joe Turner’s “Boogie Woogie Country Girl” and is one of the best covers ever. Her biggest hit in Australia was “Kookie Little Paradise” also included here.

RARITIES

RARE CDS Allen, Deborah Anthology (Renaissance/BMG) $35 Not only contains Deborah’s hits but also the studio trickery that saw her do three duets with Jim reeves. Actually done extremely well. 21 tracks all together and very hard to get indeed.

Bellamy Brothers Rebels Without a Clue $25 Their MCA album from 1988 was their best with the title track, “Fountain of Middle Age”,“The Courthouse” & “Andy Griffith Show” being just some of the classics. This is perhaps the only album they made like this…where every track hits the mark. It has humour coupled with great music. A stunner.

Bond, Johnny Best of Johnny Bond $35 17 tracks on Varese & the only place you will get the original “”. Also the hilarious “Ten Little Bottles”.

Boone, Larry Swingin’ Doors & Sawdust Floors $30 As good as it gets. A great songwriter & singer he reminds of in the late 80s! This was his second cd and includes two songs written by Larry that are synonymous with other artists. “Beyond the Blue Neon” is of course the title song of George Starit’s best ever album whilst “Old Coyote Town” is a ’ specialty. Two great Texas songs (both originals)…the honky tonker ”Ten Times Texas” and “Under a Lone Star Moon” (the great ballad) complete this gem

BR549 Temporarily Disconnected $28 This is a 2003 release which was self released by the group. It has 5 songs all of which are only available herein. There are 3 studio and 2 live tracks (the great "Onie's Bop" and "Charming Betsy"). The core of the group at this time was Chuck Mead, multi- instrumentalist Donnie Heron and Chris Scruggs (son of & ), himself an excellent vocalist and muti instrumentalist. This is new and sealed and to be honest I can't find another copy for sale anywhere Clement, Cowboy Jack Guess Things Happen That Way (Dualtone) $25 This is autographed by the great man. As we have said it is a superb album.

Conlee, John Harmony (Columbia) $28 Very rare. 1986 gem. Contains his brilliant version of “Class Reunion”, which was also done by the Oak Ridge Boys but not as well as by JC.

Daniels, Clint $35 This was typical of the mid to late 90s. Great albums which were shelved whilst the overall standard went down. This was eagerly awaited and would have been on Arista. Alas it was never released. A great bunch of musos and all bar three songs were by Clint. When I tell you the other songs were by Larry Cordle & you know it is special. This has both back and front covers, something that is exceedingly hard to get.

Delray, Martin Get Rhythm $25 one of the best ever albums of early 90s with a duet with on title song but “Lillies’ White Lies” is the unqualified highlight. Everyone loves this gem. Date written on cover

Feller, Dick Centaur of Attention (Cyberphonic) $40 SIGNED BY ARTIST. Dick’s great albums have never been on cd. This is a great album from 2001 in which Dick has re-recorded some of the songs (including “Biff the Friendly Purple Bear) as well as some things he wrote but never previously recorded such as “The Night Miss Nancy Ann’s Hotel for Single Girls Burned Down”. 16 in all and very good. He is a great picker as well as singer.Quirky packaging, a true homemadejob. Great cd

Ford, Tennessee Ernie Capitol Collectors Series $30 Wonderful 29 tracker with great liner notes and sound quality. I have said it before, this series (ie Capitol Collectors) is all out of print but always represented the best sampling of an artists work. They have the ones you want to hear and also include stunning obscure tracks such as Ern’s take on an R & B number “I Don’t Know”. Ernie was one of the most versatile country vocalists who is revered for his gospel and religious recordings. There is only one such example here, but what a beauty...”His Hands”.

Ford, Tennesee Ernie Ernie Sings& Glen Picks (with Glen Campbell) $35 This is the original issue with full liner notes by country music authority Rich Kienzle.. A 1975 album which has Ern singing over Glen’s . The simple highlight Ern’s wonderful baritone and his interpretation of 2 Kristofferson songs, “Nobody Wins” &“Loving Her Was Easier” showed he could sing anything. In the overall scheme of things this is a classic.

Frizzell, Lefty That’s the Way Loves Goes:The Final Recordings of Lefty Frizzell” $40 We used to say you can also get these tracks on the Bear Family box set but that is also out of print. Lefty’s voice was in amazing shape here. The richness on his own but much covered “I Neve r Go Around Mirrors” is incredible.

Fujiyama, Tomi Country Hits Columbia Japan That classic sub- genre....Japanese country is back. Arguably Japan's greatest ever female country artist, and ometimes even referred to as the Japanese Patsy Cline. Two early albums on a single cd. Yeah, try and find it...you won't. A great yodeller and great sound. Unfortunately information is largely in Japanese except for the subtitling of the songs. It contains two albums. The first features mainly Japanese vocals and the second has English. Excellent sound and she sure can yodel. A must have item and then some. If she had only married J T Kanehira, what progeny we would have!!

Gaddis, Ron Chip Off the Old Block $35 Ron was for many years the bandleader for George Jones and he was the guy who duetted with George on live versions of “No Show Jones”. He was also the first husband of ; now that is a lot of water under the bridge story. Obviously there was no lasting acrimony as Lorrie joins him on “All Day All Night Thing”, a great song. The all out honky tonker “I Fell Off the Wagon” features his former boss, The Possum himself and joins on “When the Shiny Silver Eagle meets the Great Speckled Bird”. As you might expect there is more than a little George Jones influence. Hard to believe this is Ron’s lone album, A superb one too. Latest info is that alas Ron has followed the path of his mentor.

George, Sonny Live at the Tennessee Prison for Women $40 sealed Sonny for starters has a great voice, similar in timbre I guess to Johnny Cash but nothing like Johnny Cash...if that makes sense. There are few if any who can successfullycombine country and rockabilly as well as Sonny. “Hillbilly Beat” is a great update of the hillbilly standard “Mama Don’t Allow”. As the Swedish Cowboy says itis not rock but it certainly “rocks”. That is on the “prison” cd. Certainly one of the most energetic live albums and superb throughout. Boz Boorer on guitar is superb. Not for the faint-hearted. His originals are as good as the covers. The truckin’ cd is both authentic and superb.

Gosdin, Vern Alone Columbia $28 when it comes to sad crying in your beer style this may be the best ever album. Documents his broken marriage. It followed “Chiselled in Stone” and there is not a struck match between ths two. His vocal angst on “Alone” makes it one of the saddest songs ever. Whilst many rate George Jones as a lay down in the best country voice stakes I am not so sure.

Grammer, Billy Gotta Travel On: Very best (Collectables) new 21 tracks still sealed. This is now out of print. $25

Griffith, Andy What it is , is Andy Griffith. Cema special products 1995 2Cd 28 Has there ever been a star more likeable than Andy? This is something I hadn’t seen..37 tracks. He was a country boy from North Carolina with a down home style whether singing folk songs or what he did best telling down home versions of classics. His most famous is probably “What It Was , Was Football”, still as funny as ever and also some great fractured versions of Shakespeare such as “Romeo & Juliet” and “Hamlet”. Song wise his “Andy’s Lament” is a great blues that is almost . The whole thing is great.

Harms, Joni Hometown Girl $25 Joni’s original Capitol album. Very hard to get. Joni has carved out a career for herself singing western oriented songs and this hold sup remarkably well, perhaps as production by Jimmy Bowen and song choice are both first class

Harris, Emmylou Last Date Eminent $28 Expanded version of Emmylou’s WB live gem which sees Barry Tashian taking the ’ part on the wonderful “We’ll Sweep Out the Ashes (In the Morning)”. Beautifully presented with new notes and bonus tracks. The label went bust...hard to believe. This is the only place to get her wonderful live album.

Howard, Harlan All Time Favorite Country Songwriter $35 1996 Koch reissue of Monument album, both long gone. Has 12 of his biggest hits sung by the of country music, including gems “Heartaches by the Number”, “Tiger by the Tail”etc. Not a classic voice by any means but it is always something special to hear the song the way the writer intended. The Hank Cochran co-write, “I Fall to Pieces” is simply one of the greatest country songs ever...and a day.

Husky, Ferlin Capitol Collectors Series $35 This series is simply the best quality as far as sound and notes go.. This gem contains Ferlin’s wonderful “The Waltz You Saved for Me”, plus some hits and non hits. Well annotated and attractively presented. It has his biggest hits “Gone” & “Wings of a Dove” as well as some rarities

Jackson, Larry Blue Highway $30 (Loree label) I don’t think I have ever had a song like Larry’s “The Blue Highway” to attract a question as to who is it?? Larry’s voice I would suggest has been weathered to perfection. He is a superb singer and writer but alas these are his only two albums. You feel he has lived the songs. The sad “When Love Dies” has a real ache to it. He has real angst in his voice when he sings “Damn Those Memories”. Up there with the greatest indie cds ever

Jackson, Larry Out of the Blue $40 This second album even has an uptempo honky tonk belter “Honky Tonk Two Steppin’ Beer Drinkin’ Saturday Night” & what better way to show his great voice than with a definitive reading of the Paul Siebel classic “Louise”. Alas, it seems zero chance of another album. Have heard rumours of Larry’s demise but nothing to support it...hope it is not true as there is one place he is appreciated to the extent he should be.

Jackson, Stonewall Best Collectors Choice Out of print 24 tracks inc. " BJ the DJ" and of course “Waterloo” his two biggest. $28 Notes by Colin Escott, arguably the best.

Jackson, Stonewall And Friends : A Tribute $30 23 track tribute with a virtual who’s who guests list…just to rattle off some: Grandpa Jones, Little Jimmy Dickens, The Whites, Riders in the Sky, , John Conlee, Joe Diffie, Porter Wagoner, Paulette Carlson, Alison Krauss, Connie Smith…come to think of it may be easier to mention who is not there!!! Now out of print. Special mention to the track featuring Connie Smith, “Standing Invitation”…what a singer.

Jones, Geo./Melba Montgomery Vintage Collection $45 20 classics!! Out of print and has all the wonderful United Artists’ label duets.His best duet partner. Brand new & sealed. You would otherwise have to get a Bear Family box. Speaking of which, I wish they would do a Melba Montgomery box.

Logan, Josh Gentle Rain $25 Another unexpected and out of print honky tonk gem by the man who embodies the spirit of Mel Street. This would be DOUBLE but has no rear insert, just the booklet and cd.

McEntire, Reba 2cds 40 Mercury tracks.Double cd case with attractive slip sleeve & book $30 Her best & most country. Both the full 40 tracks. A far cry from today’s diva…this is real! So good in fact that I would defy anyone to readily pick the artist. This is how we like it. She started out a member of a rodeo family who performed at fairs and shows. Kind of an American institution. Hell she was a great country singer.

Mack, Lonnie Roadhouse & Dance Halls CD rare 1988 gem Epic This was marketed as a country album but was pretty much the same as Lonnie's Memphis blues based music and the Muscle Shoals Sound under the auspices of Barry Beckett and Roger Hawkins along with guests such as David Lindley on slide. It is a great album and very hard to get let alone in superb condition.

Nelson, Willie The Hungry Years $40. When people rang up to order the original issue of “IRS Tapes” they were offered another cd of all new material.....that was this gem. But with a mindset that they were ringing up for the IRS Tapes and that is what they wanted not many were sold. It has 15 tracks. “The Hungry Years” and “Solitaire” are both Neil Sedaka songs and Willie does a superb job on them, with an reminiscent of “Always on My Mind”. A lot of the rest are covers; quite a few country standards such as “Detour”, “Ragged But Right” etc BUT the highlight is the stunning “When I Stop Dreaming”, a great Louvin Brothers song performed as a duet with Emmylou Harris. If you had to rank both these duet champions “duets” it would rank in the top 3 they have collectively appeared on. It is that good. IT HAS NOT BEEN REISSUED. IT IS ONLY ON THIS CD. Two Willie songs are just great, “Your Memory Won’t Die” and “She is Gone”.

Nelson,Willie Old Friends (with )/ Funny How Time Slips Away (with Faron Young)” Koch 2 on 1 $45 From 1982 and 1985 and on cd for a short time. The title track on the former also features Ray Price. Great version of Roger’s “Sorry Willie”, an apology to Willie for getting more than cozy with Willie’s wife. Good song also by Roger, “Aladambama”. Both albums are nothing less than superb.

Nelson,Willie Angel Eyes (Columbia) Japan $30 This is Willie’s album with jazz guitarist Jackie King. It was only ever issued on its own on cd in Japan, although issued as part of a 2-fer with an album that really didn’t belong. So for Willie completist fans this is a must.

Newbury, Mickey Lulled by the Moonlight (Mountain Retreat) 1996 $35 Newbury, Mickey Stories from Silver Moon Cafe (Long Haul) $30 2000 Newbury, Mickey Blue To This Day (Mountain Retreat) $25 2004 Hard to get as are all of his cds. Someone of an acquired taste for some but to many he is one of the best singer ever. Availability of all his material is plagued by the slip shod handling of his music by his family.

O’Kanes Tired of the Running $25 Second album from Keiran Kane & Jamie O’Hara is also hardest to get. Blind accordionist Jay Spell is superb. The songs on this album tend to be longer than on the other two albums with more intricate instrumental passages and this is where Spell shines.

Oxford, David David Oxford $45 There has only been one and there appears to be little chance of another, but despite hope being minimal there is still some hope. This is superb with a mix of honky tonk, cryin’ in beer ballads and just plain great songs “”1-800 Wine” is pure honky tonk whilst the Cosmic Cowboy, a sentimental old fluff if ever there was one, closes his annual community radio father’s day show with Oxford’s “Don’t Tell the Babies”. As far as production goes this is stunning. The great Bobby Flores is present throughout. And Michael Morales who apparently performed strictly in a Spanish market is great on acoustic guitar. David had talks with major labels apparently but was disillusioned when he was told he didn’t have the right image. Damn, why didn’t he get angry and produce a box set. Even that would not be enough. A gem gem gem!!

Oxford, Vernon 100% Country (Montana Country) $40 We all know that Vernon is one of the great hard country singers in the Hank, Jones, Paycheck school. His stuff is literally like gold. This was a 1990 Swiss label release and consisted of mainly new material with a few classics re-recorded. Of that category is teh wonderful “Surprise Birthday Party”...you wish you could tap him on teh shoulder & tell him the news.

Paycheck, Johnny The Real Mr Heartache: The Little Darlin’ Years $45 (CMF) The fact is that not only preceded George Jones as the best hard country singer he also provided the main influence for George. He was promoted as an outlaw singer in the seventies but those recordings do not compare with this 24 tracker which is simply perfection. “Apartment Number Nine” was written by Johnny as was the amazing “Pardon Me I’ve Got Something to Kill” and the ultra dramatic “It’s a Mighty Thin Line Between Love & Hate”. Best ever country cd?? Could be ..

Pennington,R/Buddy Emmons Swing & Other Things: We’re Steel Swingin’ $45 The hardest of the Pennington/ Emmons cds to get. Swing& Other Things” is a great 21 tracker which sources the songs from country, jazz & pop sources. This was originally a double lp, which featured some classic country and some jazz along with a handful of new Pennington songs. 21 in all. Spectacular version of “Take the A Train”.

Peters, Gretchen Buried Treasures CD WB/ Chappell never commercially available. $55 This was put out by Gretchen's publishing company in 1995 to showcase her songs. It actually showcases Gretchen as well and I would go as far as to say not only is this her best work it is right up there with the defining female folk-country albums. Yep equal to Emmylou's "", Iris's "", Nanci's "Last of the True Believers", Kimmie Rhodes' "West Texas Heaven" ,Katy Moffatt's "Greatest Show on Earth"...I could go on but rest assured this is AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER than these. A stunning album. Very rare as unlike a lot of publisher issues this is the complete production. simply wonderful. This is an official albeit non commercial release. Haven't had one for maybe 10 years. Yes, it is very rare. Don't miss it. If you do don't hold your breath waiting for another.

Price, Ray Hall of Fame Series (Step One) $48 This is from 1991 and like all his Step One releases is just grand. Most are songs he never previously recorded and I would have to say he was at his absolute vocal peak on this. Brilliantly produced by Ray Pennington, this is the most difficult of his Step One albums to get on cd.

Price, Ray Greatets Hits (Step One) 2CD $48 These re-recordings are as good as if not better than the originals. Big call...but don’t take my word for it...after all he was Ray Price.

Ritter, Tex Capitol Collectors Series (Capitol) $35 Out of print series, of which I would recommend every title as being essential. This has all the hard to get ones, “Deck of Cards”, “Blood on the Saddle” &“Just Beyond the Moon” etc 25 in all. Of course also “Hillbilly Heaven” a perfect cd.

Rodriguez, Johnny Gracias! $35 Fabulous album on Capitol. Released late 80s and included his last charting single, “I Didn’t Every Chance That I Had”. Great bunch of backing musicians including Pig Robbins on piano and Sonny Garrish on steel. Very hard to get now.

Schneider, John Worth the Wait (Faithworks) $40 1996 indie which I have never had or even seen before. Very little difference to his MCA recordings and a top bunch of musos no doubt helps. Billy Joe Walker Jnr on acoustic guitar, Reggie Young on electric and Matt Rollings on keyboards are outstanding. “I’d Fall in Love Tonight” is a classic ballad. The label is shown as being in Texas. Shows you have to keep your eyes open!

Smith, Russell This Little Town $30 Have not had one of these for about 2 years. Great solo album by the Amazing Rhythm Aces vocalist. All great and what a voice. Russell had a brief period as a country singer on Epic and this was the result, a gem produced by Steve Buckingham and Russell. Very much in the Amazing Rhythm Aces style. Highlight is the working man song “Blue Collar Blues” and the title song, but they’re all top notch.

Statler Brothers 10th Anniversary $25 Atlanta Blue $25 Home $25 Words & Music $25 All American Country $25 Live &Sold Out $25 Complete Lester Roadhog Moran $28 Mercury cds are all out of print and these are all sealed except the brilliant comedy of Lester Roadhog Moran which is the hardest to get. Only 1 of easch so don’t dally.

Thornton, Marsha Marsha Thornton (MCA) $30 This debut album is so good. It includes the defining version of what is a superb song “A Bottle of Wine & Patsy Cline”. Hard to beat. Produced by Patsy’s producer Own Bradley. But the artist is special as is this superb cd.

Wayne, Dallas I’m Your Biggest Fan $30 Wayne, Dallas The Invisible Man $35 Wayne, Dallas Screamin’ Down the Highway $35 Dallas Wayne is one of the best old school honky tonkers of all time. He is adored by Yesterday & Today Records patrons as he is just so damn good. These were all recorded and released only in Finland from 2002, 1994 and 1997 respectively. Equally as good on the ballads and the uptempo numbers with a little bit of quirky thrown in for good measure. Dale Watson and Dalals Wayne share more than just their initials.

Whitley, Keith I Wonder Do You Think of Me $30 The album he had just finished when he died. One of the greatest ever country vocalists. Deep rich voice with his own nuances. Pity the wonderful honky tonk songs were lived out so tragically with his alcohol overdose. He was seemingly taking over from as country’s premier vocalist and had the unheard of 5 number one country singles in a row. I truly believe he would have been recognised as one the greatest country vocalists ever and I could even be persuaded to drop the “‘one of” from that assessment.

Williams, Tex Vintage Collection (Capitol) $25 sealed 20 tracker which had several unissued tracks as well as ’ first million seller, “Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette).

Wilson, Tim Songs for the Musically Disturbed $28 (Southern Tracks) This is Tim’s fabulous all songs album which is both hilarious and clever and marked by songs that are in a clss of their own. He unfortunately passed away this year and much of his work (on major labels) is pretty rank as it concentrates on stand up comedy but this is a must. Love “ Has Ruined My Life” and the Confederate Railroad styled threesome “Trailer Park Woman”, “Low Class Love Affair” and “First Baptists Bar & Grill” as well as the very clever “Acid Country”....”Mama Used to listen to Pink Floyd & ”.

Yoakam, Dwight Under the Covers WB $25 Autographed!! “Best Always

Various Something Got a Hold On Me: Treasury of Sacred Music (RCA) features what in many instances are the original versions of what are now gospel standards including such gems as “Tramp on the Street” by Grady & hazel Cole and the Dixon Brothers superb “I Didn’t Hear Nobody Pray”...what’s a country song without a double negative every now & then. "Wreck on the Highway” "Farther Along". So good. Sound is spectacularly good. $30

**The Browns The Three Bells 8 cd + 40 page book $180 I love this set. Glorious Nashville Sound recorded in the famous RCA studio, 249 tracks which sound fabulous. I honestly can’t believe how good they sound. The hits are all there but tracks such as “Teen-Ex” are phenomenal. You’d swear they were in the room...matter of fact I check round just to make sure. The quality of the songs is also of the highest level. Even their pre RCA tracks (inc.a great version of “Looking Back to See”) sound tops. 100% as new.

**Cliff Bruner And His Texas Wanderers 5 CD + 64 pg book. $120 Bruner was the innovative fiddler and steel guitar player Bob Dunn one of the most important Western swing musicians ever.

**Merle Haggard “Troubadour” 4cds + 68 page hardcover book $130 This is Merle’s MCA years. ...111 tracks and over 6 hours. I really love Merle’s MCA period.

** The Singer- The Songwriter 1949-1960 4cds + 24 page book $80. Includes his rare MGM and RCA recordings. He wrote “Oh Lonesome Me” and “I Can’t stop Loving You” on the one day and also was responsible for one of the most recorded country songs ever in “Sweet Dreams”.

Great singles as well as albums including the “Around the World” album in which Bill sings songs about varying countries. Of course the Aussie one is “Rockin’ Matilda”. CD#5 is inside the studio during a recording session so alternate versions and some juicy studio talk. Rudy Pompilli on sax was just one of the musical stars especially on his showpiece “Rudy’s Rock”.

** Hawk 3 cd + 20g book $70 Anothe rout of print set and this contains his rare RCA recordings.

** Right or Wrong 4 cd + 40 pg book $100 Couple of marks on outer box. Her Decca recordings plus her landmark Capitol rockabilly recordings in superb sound. Rarely get these as they are too popular.

** George Jones Walk Through This World With Me: The Complete Musicor Years Pt I 1965-1971 5 cd +52 book $130 142 songs plus some sessions where the songs take shape. Some of George’s most endearing work. Positively perfect.

**George Jones “Good Year for the Roses: Complete Musicor Years Part II 1965-1971” 4Cds + 52 pg book $110 Hard to go past Jerry Chesnut’s wonderful title song as one of George’s absolute best.

**Platters “Four Platters & a Lovely Dish” 9cds + 52 page book $180. This is fabulous. All the group took turns at lead vocals even though Tony Williams took most especially on the hits. Love the leads featuring bass vocalist Herb Reed esp. On “Darktown ’s Ball” & “Gonna Sit Right Down etc” Absolutely mint.

**Ray Price “And the Cherokee Cowboys” 10 CDs + 80 pg hard cover book $220 All his great Columbia Recordings. You don’t see this box every day I can assure you. Brilliant. He died a year ago today.

**Louis Prima The Capitol Recordings (also includes Keely Smith& Sam Butera) 8cd + 40pg book $170 This is brand new. Still sealed. Over 200 tracks, none better than “Just a Gigolo”.

** Classic Recordings 4cds + book $80. Book and cds are mint but there are a few minor marks on the box. It appears that the box was used to support a sheet of paper on which someone has written leaving indent marks. If you look straight on you can’t see them. Marvin’s biggest hit “Gonna Find Me a Bluebird” was a US smash but his rockabilly-esque “Whole Lotta Woman” was a UK #1. Great on the uptempo songs and the ballads. Wonderful voice even if his Native American roots are a tad questionable.

**Tex Ritter Blood on the Saddle 4cd + book $100 This is out of print. 104 tracks and if rustic is your go there is simply nothing more than the wonderful title track.

**Marty Robbins Under Western Skies $100 4cds + book. $90 Includes all his western recordings, which are as good as it gets. The best? Why, “Mr Shorty” of course, a classic tale of bullying where the bully gets his come uppance. Good as “El Paso” etc are , this is best. Marty is the consummate storyteller. He literally holds us in the palm of his hand. The lp size 60 page book includes all the lyrics. Fans of the best ever tv series, “Breaking Bad” will recognise Marty’s “El Paso” as providing the theme for the very last episode. Couple of very small marks on box. Insignificant.

**Marty Robbins Country 1960-1966 4 cd + book $100. Marty’s boxes are perhaps the most popular Bear Family boxes we have ever sold and good reason...there is simply not a bad song and Marty is perhaps the most versatile vopcalist in all country music history with an ear for a great song...many of course he wrote. One of the biggest, “Devil Woman” is featured on this set. His fabulous gospel album “What God Has Done” is included here.

**Jack Scott “The Way I Walk” 5 cd + 40 page book. $100 Very versatile artist inc. Capitol, Carlton and RCA Great set $110 There are few artists who have covered the scope of material that Jack has. Rockabilly...great authentic....Hank Williams Tribute...ditto...gospel (with the Chantones...great handclapping style) ballads (what...seemingly too long a pause...in the World’s come over you). Brilliant. Small mark or two on box.

**Del Shannon “Home & Away: Complete Recordings 1960-1970” 8 Cds + 124 page hard cover book $200 Includes rare demos and unreleased tracks. Superb sound. 220 songs. Again...you don’t see these and this is 100% mint new.

**Connie Smith “Born to Sing” 4cds + 56 page book $100 Seems everyone’s favourite female vocalist...well almost. Begins with her superb Bill Anderson hit “Once a Day” and never lets up.

** Connie Smith “Just for What I Am’’ new & sealed $160 5 cds + 76 page hard cover book. 151 tracks and just under 7 hours playing time. Second Bear Family box on Connie, one of the most popular female artists ever. Notes by noted Nashville scribe, Barry Mazor. Includes duets with Nat Stuckey and Dallas Frazier as well as her highly sought gospel album “Come Along & Walk With Me”.

** “The Yodelling Ranger” 5cds + 48 pg book. This is his earliest work prior to his going to the USA. The 5th cd features his Life Story album. Cds & booklet are pristine but outer box has some marks. $80 a steal.

**Hank Snow “Singing Ranger Vol 1” 4cd + 16 pg book $80 Hank’s first US recordings and what a start with his signature “I’m Movin’ On”. Has his first duets with Anita Carter including the wonderful“Bluebird Island” and of course it wouldn’t be a Hank album without a tearjerker such as the original version of “Nobody’s Child”.

**Hank Snow Singing Ranger Vol 2 4cds + 16 page book $80 also one with taped split corner $70 otherwise pristine As well as being a great singer Hank was a stylish guitar player and there are some wonderful guitar pieces with Chet Atkins and some early duets with Anita Carter.

** Sons of the Pioneers Memories of the Range 4cd + book $100 legendary 1935-36 transcriptions of course featuring the original trio Spencer/Nolan/ Slye (Roy Rogers...one of the best country yodellers especially on “Black Sheep Blues”...”I have been a roving rover....” Great.

** The Pathways of My Life 8cds + 126 page hardcover book featuring 240 tracks. $220 This has been played once but you wouldn’t know it. The previous Bear Family box focussed on his Capitol recordings and this has his post Capitol recordings for Warner Brothers, Dot, ABC, Churchill & MCA. Most havenever been on cd before. Included is his highly regarded tribute albums to Nat King Cole and the Mills Brothers .I must admit that I like the latter MCA recordings which saw Hank record some great honky tonk material such as the great “One Hell of A Weekend” & “King Of Western swing” to name just 2. His last MCA Album was in 1986 and had a rare duet appearance by George Strait. To be honest after hearing this gem it is BETTER than the first. The unreleased material will knock your socks off and if you don’t reckon it is some of the best country you have ver heard I would be extremely surprised.

**Floyd Tillman “His Recordings 1936-1962 & 1981” 6cds + 80 page hard cover book $180 One of the honky tonk kingpins. Willie Nelson has always credited him with being a vocal influence. A Hall of Fame member, this concludes with his 1980 album “Floyd Tillman and Friends”.

**Merle Travis “Guitar Rags & a Too Fast Past” 5cd + 80 pg book 145 $100 tracks.Troubled genius. One of the best of the books. And as a guitarist he was equally adept on acoustic and electric. As a composer nothing is bigger than “Sixteen Tons”, on his landmark “Folksongs of the Hills” album .A few small marks on box. Content pristine.

** Let’s Say Goodbye Like We Said hello 5 cd + 32 pg book. $100...box & book are as new. Includes his duets with .

** Rose Marie 6 cd + book new 7sealed $140 Starts with his RCA album “Birmingham Jail” and goes to 1958. One of the most popular international artists ever, probably more so in Europe and maybe Australia than in his native USA. Passed away in 2013. One of the most popular of the Bear Family sets.

**D Singles Volume 3 $80 $70 4cds + 52 page book Every one of these are great Love Hardrock Gunter and also likes of Lawton Williams. and more of the terrific Merl Lindsay for starters.

COUNTRY BOX SETS Brown, Milton And His musical Brownies: Daddy of Western swing 4cds (Proper box ) as new incl 32 page book. Over 100 tracks. Motor accident cut short his life. Who knows who would have been king..he or Bob Wills. Bob Dunn on steel guitar is rated one of the most revolutionary country music instrumentalists ever and there is possibly no more exuberant track ever than “Down by the Ohio”!! $20 a steal

Cash, Johnny “Unearthed’ $60 This is now deleted and is very hard to get. It consists of 5 cds from John’s later career tenure with American label. 4 cds are tracks that are additional to his American Recordings cds and the fifth is a summation of the best of the American Recordings. These are housed in a very attractive cloth bound hard cover book. BUT THERE IS MORE. There is a second hard cover book with 108 pages, also cloth bound. These two cloth bound books are then housed in a cloth bound case....black of course (heck it is Johnny Cash after all!!). These are very hard to get. This is 100% as new inside but a few threads loose on the cloth outer. Don’t miss out. This is a very reasonable price. Don’t miss out...in fact a dang bargain.

Charles, Ray “Complete Modern Sounds in Country & Western Music” (Rhino) $80 new & sealed out of print gem. 4 cds + hard cover bound book in solid cardboard outer box. 93 tracks starting with his legendary albums which presented vastly different arrangements of classic country songs such as “Bye Bye Love” and “I Can’t stop Loving You”. Best for mine is the superb string laden version of “You Don’t Know Me”, a classic track revamped superbly. This is extremely hard to get now and to be honest is just fabulous. It is not really country but who cares. It is just great. Well actually his “Friendship” album which also appears on here is pretty straight country but you get the drift.

Harris, Emmylou “Portraits” $35 Seemingly every one of Y & T customers favourite female country singer and with good cause. 3 cds + 24 page booklet& 61 tracks many rarities. Attractive long style box. Highlight of course is her wonderful rendition of John Hiatt’s “Icy Blue Heart”.

Harris, Emmylou Songbird 4CD/ DVD + 200 page hard cover bound book with a stack of unissued tracks. 78 tracks plus 10 track DVD. There are actually 2 bound books which slide in a jacket. The book containing the cds slips together in this outer jacket. This is cloth bound. The cds and dvd in this are as new. This is not always the case as the action of taking them out and putting them back can scratch the discs but these are fine.. Remember this is out of print all over the world. $100 NOTE: This has now been reissued without the DVD and without the opulence. I know which one I prefer!

Lynn, Loretta Honky Tonk Girl: The Loretta Lynn Collection (MCA) 3cds plus 48 page book. Nice style 70 tracks. This is in great shape. Over 3 hours! . out of print. $45

Miller, Roger “King of the Road: The Genius of Roger Miller” 3cd + 40 page book. $45 If ever an artist was deserving of a Bear Family box set it was Roger. There is a dearth of his material, even in Greatest Hits packages. This is much more with 70 tracks that include most of his “Trip in the Country" album where he went back & recorded some songs that he wrote early in his career for other people such as “Tall Tall Trees”, “Invitation to the Blues”, “don’t We All Have the Right” etc. All the hits are there and it includes some great later things such as “Old Friends with Willie & Ray Price as well as two selections from “Big River” his Tony award winning stage show. This is now deleted

Owens, Buck The Collection Rhino. $45 Ultra special. Out of print gem 3 cd with wonderful 80 page book with mostly colour photographs and includes a track by track rundown with Buck’s own comments. 62 songs are licensed from Buck himself and include all the hits including both the original version and the Dwight duet version of “” as well as some delightful non hits such as Buck’s latter duet with Emmylou Harris “Play Together Again, Again”. Great sound and a steal. Also features “Act Naturally” with one Richard Starkey, the man whose semi well known group introduced Buck’s songs to a rock audience.

Statler Brothers 30th Anniversary Celebration Mercury 3cd $48 Great glossy book style set with a 36 page book featuring the writings of Colin Escott. As far as boxes go it is excellent but largely avoids their gospel recordings. 62 tracks. Very nice. Includes their CBS as well as Mercury hits, though in all fairness the only one on the former label was “Flowers on the Wall” but it was also their biggest...even made the pop charts in Australia. Did we know back then it was country, did we care??

Williams, Hank The Complete Hank Williams” 10 cds+ 2 books including 110 page with extra fold out $120 plus post cards etc. Beautifully cloth bound. Brand new and still sealed. Won multiple Grammys. The best country music writer Colin escott was teh guiding hand to make this so good. 53 previously unissued recordings. Arguably the best major label set ever issued.

Wynette, Tammy Tears of Fire”25th Anniversary Collection” $50( new & sealed) 3cds + 24 page book. Great 67 tracks including duets. Quite a few duets, the one with Emmylou, “Beneath a a Painted Sky” is a gem, as are the ones with a bloke called Jones. $30 one with box a bit discoloured.

Anthology of American edited by Harry Smith 6cds + 2 books, a 68 Page 12x12 overview plus a smaller book which provides a track by track rundown. Universally considered the best of its type, and put out by Smithsonian Folkways. Beautifully packaged in 12x12” red cloth bound box. $80

Rebel 35 Years in Bluegrass no box,4 cds $25 Over 100 tracks.

BOX SETS FOLK Baez, Joan Complete A&M Recordings 4 cds 77 tracks $45 Whilst her Vanguard recordings are her best known this set contains what many regard as her best studio and live album. The studio album is “Diamonds& Rust” and the live is “From Every Stage”, a highlight for mine is her version of the very wordy Dylan track “Lily, Rosemary & the Jack of Hearts”, you may say when Bob did it you may have missed one or two of the words...not with the brown eyed girl in hand me downs. Her interpretations are as fine as ever and her voice is probably at its peak. Superb sound.

Chapin, Harry Story of a Life” $45 as new3 Rhino cds in attractive glossy box with 47 tracks including all the gems ,Taxi, WOLD, Cat’s in the Cradle, Circle and of course the wonderful non hit album tracks such as “Mr Tanner” and “the Rock”. 80 page booklet. And don’t forget rarities such as the sequel to “Taxi” ...called....””Sequel”. Nice glossy box.

Lightfoot, Gordon “Songbook” Rhino 98 tracks over four cds with a hard bound book...same format as the box. Includes the best of his United Artists recordings such as the fabulous ‘Did She Mention My Name” plus his original version of “Early Morning Rain” The other 3 cds mainly feature his Warner Brothers albums and include many rarities. Great story songs abound such as the true story of “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” This is as new $90 Do a search...you won’t find one this good for this price. Like many of the great Rhino label sets it is out of print. BTW starts at $99 and that is for a crap copy.

Moore, Christy The Box Set 1964-2004 6cds with 101 songs and a 64 page booklet. Nice mini lp style presentation in flip top box. $60. Each track is commented on by Christy...how and why he recorded it. Very anecdotal!

Ochs, Phil Farewells & Fantasies Rhino $60 Genius or nut? Read. the excellent 100 page book and you are bound to be perplexed. I’d say nut but the music rules. Perhaps the #2 protest singer to Mr Dylan. This is very very hard to get. It is 100% as new. Two of his later songs “Rehearsals for Retirement” and “No More Songs” eerily foreshadow his suicide which did not surprise many.

Peter Paul & Mary Carry It On Rhino 4 cds + dvd $55 Over 5 ½ hours on the cds which includes a selection of their solo hits, the biggest of which was Paul Stookey’s “Wedding Song”. The Cosmic Cowboy And I were very sad when Mary passed on. Her superb voice was unique but her hair flicking style was hypnotic. Watch the DVDS for 30 flicks a song...or maybe more. Great set

Thompson, Richard “Walking on a Wire 1968-2009” $50 4cds as new Shout Factory label.71 classic recordings which covers his solo career as well as Fairport Convention as well as duet recordings with ex wife Linda Thompson. Includes 60 page book all in attractive yellow glossy box. AND with anyone who has a similar fetish to mine...ie enjoying the smell of quality printing this will also appeal.

Wainwright, Loudon III “” $55 sealed 4 cds + DVD. 69 songs from 25 albums plus as additional 22 rare and unreleased tracks. The DVD contains a 60 minute documentary “One Man Guy” plus a bunch of live performances bringing the dvd time to around 200 minutes. A clever and humorous artist who has been married to one of the McGarrigles and one of the Roches. Great box. Fans will immediately know what the song titles “IDTTYWLM” and the very politically incorrect “IWIWAL” expand to. If not they should find out.

Weavers Wasn’t That a Time $60 Vanguard box which is out of print. 87 tracks. Brand new & sealed. . Vary hard to get. 48 page book. “Goodnight Irene” spent 13 weeks at number one in the US charts. Later the radical Pete Seeger would introduce the protest song to the Weavers’ repertoire. Also includes selections from their famed Carnegie Hall reunion. Content is just great.

Acoustic Folk Box Four Decades of the Very best Acoustic Folk Music from the British Isles Topic 4Cds + brilliant 56 page book. Not all the usual names either. For example the first 4 tracks Lonnie Donegan/ Davy Graham/ Galliards/ Ray & Archie Fisher...last four Fernhill/ kate Rusby/ John Tams/ Eliza Carthy. $60 This 2002 box is a ripper.

Anthems in Eden An Anthology of British & Irish Folk 1955-1978 4cds + 60 page book $60 This is as an attractive box as I have ever seen. It is a wonderful overview that stick to rarer items. Each cd has a theme to it. 1)Folk Roots, New Routes looks as the early heroes of the folksong revival 2)Please Sing a Song for Us analyses the emergence of the post Dylan singer-songwriter 3)The New Electric Muse examines the rise of folk-rock4)a Midsummer Nights Happening explores prog-folk, acid folk, strange folk and beyond. It is as new and again the presentation is just superb.

POP/ MOR/50s/MISCELLANEOUS BOX SETS

Carpenters From the Top (A&M) $40 4 cds plus 32 page book (with centre fold out). Classic and classy. All the hits in best sound. Long style hardcover book stylke.

Cole, Nat King The Classic Singles (Capitol) Capitol like new $50 I do consider it one of the ironies of the music world that Nat’s unique and wonderfully rich voice was a product of his cigarette habit and that ended up killing him. Very sad. No one sang like him and he had many hits overseas and in Australia. “Nature Boy”, “Too Young”, “Mona Lisa” etc. It would take a nano second to realise to whom you were listening. This very nice cloth bound book style package features 2003 remastered 24-bit sound and 101 tracks. 60 page booklet. 4 cds

Count Basie The Columbia Years 4cd + 92 page book $35 30s and 40s and in great soundwith nice presentation. Includes cameo from Billie Holiday.

Crosby, Bing His Legendary Years 1931-1957 MCA Nice long style box with 68 page book with 101 tracks on 4 cds including quite a few unreleased, plus lots of duets. These are the studio recordings. This is really good set. Love “Dear Hearts & Gentle People” and his Hawaiian influenced songs in particular. $40

Freberg, Stan Tip of the Freberg Rhino 4cd +64 page book + VHS video $80 $70This is a must if you have a lot of Stan Freberg, as there is so much previously unissued material herein and the presentation is superb. CD#1 has his wonderful song parodies CD#2 has some of his famed sketches with many rare single only tracks as does Cd#3 with some from his faux history albums “Presents United States of America” Vol 1 from 1961 and Vol 2 from 1996. The 1996 version saw some new actors assisting Stan such as David Ogden-Stiers of MASH fame and the delightfully named Lorenzo Music. CD#4 is all completely unreleased material with over 50 tracks, obviously some being very short. Daws Butler is superb as Stan’s right hand man and June Foray was his right hand woman. If their names don’t mean anything to you then let me say Daws Butler (Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, Quick Draw McGraw, Augie Doggie, Mr Jinks, Snagglepuss etc) and June Foray (Granny...as in Tweety..., Rocky...as in Bullwinkle, Natasha (as in Boris &) plus a stack in the Simpsons) were the equal of Mel Blanc and that is not to be taken lightly. In fact someone was once corrected for saying June Foray was the female Mel Blanc... “You should say Mel Blanc is the male June Foray” Incidentally June was in the news during the week after some idiotic hacked a fan site and reported her death. She is still going....strong...and is now 98 I believe. Hard to get.

Holiday, Billie “Lady Day” Sony Perhaps the best ever American box set...certainly the best not to bear the Rhino name. 10cds and a large 120 page book is only for starters. The sound is superb and content impossible to beat. The superb package is housed in a large faux snakeskin leather box with a haunting image of Billie on the cover. Stunning. NOW...that is what I wrote last newsletter. That sold. Now, I have a sealed copy. Brand new. I have to ask myself which is the best it or Ella. I don’t know. As new $110 This won a Grammy and you could only be surprised if it didn’t!! All Music Guide said “This set finally puts Ms. Holiday's massive contribution to 20th century art in fitting perspective. There are untold hours to spend listening here for the fanatic or the foundling. The package is worthy of your coffee table instead of a book of photographs of who knows what, and the wealth of knowledge it provides about the history of jazz is literally incalculable.”

Jack Kerouac Collection Rhino 3cd 12x12 grey cloth bound box with large 32 page book. 3 Cds. Very hard to get. The daddy of the Beat movement. $45

Lehrer, Tom Remains of Tom Lehrer (Rhino)$55 Brand new . 3 cds + 80 page hard cover book in solid cardboard outer. Famed for songs such as “Poisoning Pigeons in the Park”, “, Masochism Tango” “the Old Dope Peddler”, etc whilst it may seem that his songs are topical they are remarkably applicable today. Basically all his recordings. Like Stan Freberg is still kicking, apparently a healthy 90 year old. Great highlight “The Elements” in which Tom, to the tune of “The Major General’s song” from “Pirates of Penzance” goes through all the elements on the periodic table...there’e antimony, arsenic...well I have learnt the first 2.

Presley, Elvis Platinum RCA 4 CD 100 tracks many rare & previously unreleased 48 pg book $45

Sinatra, Frank Duets and Duets II 3cds..both duet albums PLUS a 3rd cd radio special which is highly sought. All in very attractive cloth bound box. $30...a giveaway

Spector, Phil Back to Mono Abcko $70 4cds + 100 page book, full size 12x12. Includes the wonderful “A Christmas Gift for You”. Starts with the Teddy Bears and ends with the Checkmates “Love Is All I Have to Give”. Incidentally ,what brilliant critic once said “The Phil Spector Christmas album is one you can play all year round”? Yeah, it was me. Great sound too.

Springfield, Dusty The Dusty Springfield Anthology $40 $35 Mercury 3cds with 32 page book 77 tracks. Includes some early tracks with the Springfields including the classic “Silver Threads & Golden Needles”. Naturally features the landmark “Dusty in Memphis” but the rarities are the winner. BARGAIN.

Testify: The Gospel Box $45 Rhino Wonderful set of black gospel by the best US proponent of the box set. Features a red cover hard book like structure which brilliantly looks exactly like a bible, complete with gold leaf pages. Includes 52 pg book. 50 tracks. Each song is separately annotated...the story behind the songs. Must be seen to be fully appreciated

That’s Entertainment The Ultimate Anthology of MGM Musicals 6cds + superb 108 page book $60 Rhino New & sealed. Comprises the cd version of the original “That’s Entertainment I/ II & III”. 135 tracks. The 6th cd has 25 previously unissued tracks. Looks great...is great.

Osmonds Live (Radio Bremen) $15 Osmonds 50th Anniversary Reunion Concert (Denon) 2DVd $15 The first from German TV special from 1972 and latter from 2008. I don’t care if anyone thinks the Osmonds are uncool because they were responsible for “Crazy Horses”, perhaps the best single of all time...well top 5 anyway. But anyone who thinks them prissy has never heard “Crazy Horses” Alan & Merrill on vocals...Merrill incidentally is the Osmond who never had any dental corrective work...yeah, quite the expert and proud of it. Then Jay comes in with a slicing lead guitar break. Donny is going crazy (as in the horses) sliding a lever up and down to produce that unique sound. Wundabar....incidentally Marie is on the anniversary one and they perform a Donny & Marie and a Marie medley. Yes, I always thought her a good sort too. Lock me up. This is great...in the plural.

Peter Paul & Mary Carry It On A Musical Legacy Rhino C (+little B&W) 80 min $18 How gorgeous was Mary...well the Cosmic Cowboy & I both think so.

Searching for Sugar Man The story of Sixto Rodriguez who went by the name Rodriguez . He was more popular in Australia than he was in the USA AND a bonafide superstar in South Africa. Won an Oscar for best documentary. This is one I think everyone should see if only for the adulation in South Africa where he got a 15 minute standing ovation when he walked on the stage. The band kept playing the riff from “I Wonder” for the duration. I saw it on a plane!! $10

Simon, Paul And Friends (Shout) 110 minutes plus extrasFilmed in 2007 and augmented by clips throughout the years $15

Zombies Live at the Bloomsbury Theatre London (Rhino) $18 good. Rod Argent & Colin Blunstone of Zombies..keyboard & voice respectively

VARIOUS 50s Pop Parade Live! This is actually recorded round 2004-2007 and features the original performers. Surprisingly good. Naturally as you’d expect I tried to pick holes but really enjoyed it, some have gone to meet their maker since eg Tony Martin who was over 90 when this was recorded, Robert Goult, Jerry Vale, Patty Page and Margaret Whiting. It goes for 2 hours. Highlight for mine are the Mills Brothers and Ink Spots Tributes. There are some old clips interspaced such as Peggy Lee’s “Fever”.$12

Down from the Mountain The movie O! Brother Where Art Thou and the soundtrack were huge successes. This is the Ryman Auditorium presentation of music from that film and more. Wonderful performances from Emmylou, Gillian Welch, Alison Krauss, Ralph Stanley, John Hartford etc BUT the highlight for mine are the Peasall sisters who perfect what is usually called the “deer in the headlight” look. Over 90 min. $18 First Tuesday at Ronnie Mack’s Barn Dance The Palomino Club was the West coast country music haven where all these artists ruled. Ronnie Mack was king of the promoters and performers. It of course had to close. Yep, it was a dump but the shows went on.

Classic Country with Carl Smith, Carl & Pearl Butler, Bobby Bare etc $18 Return to Sin City A Tribute to Gram Parsons (Image) 106 minutes Suffice to say this is one of the best concert dvds you will ever see. The absolute highlight is the performance of Keith Richards whether singing with Norah Jones (Talk about beauty & the beast) or leading the participants though a great version of “Wild Horses”, a Stones country classic inspired by Parsons. Steve Earle, Lucinds, Raul Malo, Jim Lauderdale.,,,BUT wherever they dug Susan Marshall up from...take her back. Great dvd though. $18 Road to Nashville Corny but some great performances from Bill Anderson, Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, waylon etc held together by a very loose plot.

BOOKS LEFTOVERS There is not a shred of bragging when I say the books listed in last newsletter were phenomenal. It is also being realistic to say the likes may never be seen again. Most sold. BUT there are still some gems leftover. These are all reduced. Most considerably. Some, I can’t believe didn’t sell, not so much.

ALL THESE IN THIS SECTION ARE REDUCED FROM LAST NEWSLETTER Arnold, Eddy Pioneer of the Nashville Sound By Michael Streisguth HC 300 pg 6x9 $10 Streissguth who gives great coverage of the earlier years coverage, in other words the formative times when Nashville became the hub for recorded country music.

Denver, John Mother Nature’s Son by John Collis HC 6x9 190 pages Written after his death in October 1997, a tragic result of the ultralight he was flying running out of fuel. $5

Lomax, Alan Selected Writings 1934-1997 (edited by Ronald Cohen) HC 6x9 363 pg. The book originally came with a sample cd but it is not included. The man with whom field recordings and preservation of traditional American Music is synonymous. $10

McEntire, Reba My Story with Tom Carter HC 6x9 320 pg $5 you know I reckon Reba looks a little different to when she started.Well what do you know! Her early days as part of a true rodeo family makes entertaining reading.

Nelson, Willie The Facts of Life & Other Dirty Jokes; The Collected Writings of a Living Legend HC 6x9 232pg $8 Just a bunch of recollections and stories with the occasional actual joke thrown in. Yep, you will laugh.

Rodgers, Jimmie My Husband Jimmie Rodgers by Carrie Rodgers introduction by Nolan Porterfield SC 6 x 9 222page $8

Tosches, Nick Where Dead Voices Gather: The Emmett Miller Story SC 5x8 336 pg. $$8 Was Emmett Miller the main influence of Jimmie Rodgers and or Hank Williams or just a white man with a blackened face who recorded “Lovesick Blues” and yodelled. Had a distinct fascination with Miller and his research extends back to Stephen Foster days when the minstrel art began. Incidentally the first highly successful minstrel group were the Christy Minstrels. All the years later we had the New Christy Minstrels. Kind of starts to make sense.

Travis, Merle In Search of My Father by Pat Travis Eatherley HC 6x9 190 pg $5

Travis, Randy King of the New Country Traditionalists SC 5x8 210 pg $5 Starting like as Randy Traywick and having a self destructive urge and was rejected by several labels prior to signing with WB and achieving unbelievable success.

Twain, Shania From This Moment On HC 6x9 424 pg $4 Recent autobiography.

Wynette, Tammy Stand By Your Man: An Autobiography with Joan Dew HC 6x9 349 pg $18 This is very hard to get. “The first time I met George Jones he was in bed with another woman”. What comes next...only one way to find out!

Wynette, Tammy Tragic Country Queen by Jimmy McDonough HC 432 pages $12 6 x9 this as biography...essentially you need both to get the complete picture. Various Country Music Goes to War Edited by Charles Wolfe SC 6x9 250 pg $5 Not just the 20th century wars but Civil War, a chapter co-written by Aussie Andrew Smith. The chapters are all by individual authors. Ther are the time honoured themes of nuclear power and the Russians. By gum...there is even a chapter on Brian Letton.

Country Music Who’s Who 1972 $20 excellent annual that was published by Thurston Moore. Bound similarly to what an encyclopedia would have been, with gold title on bound deep maroon faux leather cv,u7y6 `at least. There are special sections on Charlie Poole, Uncle Dave Macon and Jimmie Rodgers. Lots of advertisements of the day which are great and a Who’s who section with some real obscurities. Slight musty odour but you won’t find one of these. Includes a fold out map of country star’s birthplaces. With respect Carl & Pearl Butler would never have won many beauty contests.

Country Roots The Origins of country Music by Douglas Green (Ranger Doug) SC 8x11 238 pg $4 Has nice time line and gives a run down of the top 5 records from 1923 to 1975.

Dreaming out Loud Garth Brooks, , Wade Hayes and the Changing Face of Nashville by Bruce Feiler. SC 5x8 404pg $5 This is a great little book covering the fortunes of 3 artists. You know it is going to be good when the first paragraph tells us about Garth’s 3 sizes too small Wranglers...not one for subtleties you’d have to say he was kindest to Wade Hayes who is seen as shy. Not too keen on Naomi it would seem and the reader is left to make his own mind up about Garth. Hard to put this down,.

Electric Guitars The Illustrated Encyclopedia by Tony Bacon HC 13 x 10 Excuse me why I ogle. 320 pg $22 Spectacular huge coffee table book. Focuses on the brands but then of course the players who played those guitars. Tony Bacon, I have found out is the quintessential guitar writer. Over 1200 photos

Finding Her Voice The Saga Of Women in Country Music by Robert K Oermann & Mary Bufwack 10x8 HC 594 pages of smallish print so stacks of words!. A true encyclopedia with the scope being amazing. Whilst it is not going to be a surprise that Patsy Cline, Wanda Jackson, Loretta, Tammy, Jean Shepard, Doly & Emmylou are all featured it is pieces on great artists such as Carolina Cotton, Jenny Lou Carson, The de Zurich Triplets, Martha Carson and latterday artists such as Suzy Bogguss and that make this book so great $20 one of the best country music books ever written.

High Lonesome The American Culture of Country Music by Cecelia Tichi 7 x 10 HC 318 pg with some nice pieces on lesser knowns such as Holly & Barry Tashian, Kathy Chiavola & a chapter on Rodney Crowell SC $5

Louisiana Hayride: Radio& Roots Music Along the Red River Tracey Laird 6x9 HC $10 208 pg Compares and contrasts tyhe development of country music and the unwritten fight against Nashville and the tactical errors that saw Shreveport lose.

Mandolin for Dummies Don Julin SC 8x9 378 pages $8 one of the famous Dummie book.

Music Makers Of the Blue Ridge Plateau from the Blue Ridge Music Makers Guild Inc. SC 6x9 127 pg Home of the Galax Fiddlers Convention...the biggest of the lot. Mainly pictures contributed by the society. Anyone who has the Nitty Gritty Stars& Stripes Forever or John McEuen’s solo album will know the track “The Mountain Whippoorwill” ..this is essentially that in pictures. $5

Southwest Shuffle Pioneers of Honky Tonk, Western Swing & Country Jazz by Rich Kienzle SC 6x9 288 pg $20 generally rated the best on the subject but rather than be a full text on the subject he writes about a different artist in every chapter starting with Spade Cooley, Hank Penny, Tommy Duncan, Lee Gillette, Ken Nelson, Cliffie Stone, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Hank Thompson etc

Sun Records The Brief History of the Legendary Record Label by Colin Escott & Martin Hawkins SC 7x 10 184 pages. The history, the main artists and bios on all the lesser lights 10

WSM Aircastle of the South and the Making of Music City by Craig Havighurst 280 pg hard cover.6x9.”WSM = We Shield Millions” the motto of the insurance company which owned the station and essentially ran it as a sponsorship tool. Very small print so quite lengthy. WSM gave Nashville the title “Music City USA”. One time the geniuses were going to pull the Grand Ol Opry off the WSM airwaves. Includes the rogues such as Jim Denny and legends such as Owen Bradley. I did read this and learnt heaps. $18
