August 2015 Newsletter ------Yesterday & Today Records PO Box 54 Miranda NSW 2228 Phone: (02) 95311710 [email protected] www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au ------Postage It takes a lot to understand Australia Post. Essentially there are 2 main things. If an item is under 20mm thick it goes as a large at a much cheaper rate to something over 20mm thick which is then classified as a parcel. This applies to both Australian and overseas Australia 1 cd $2 2cds $3 3/4/5 cds $8. The latter is up to 500grams and then individual areas are charged separately. If not in NSW it is usually cheaper to send anything over 500 grams in a prepaid satchel. It is $14 for a 3 cds satchel and you can get around 25 cds in one. That is in cases. Without cases you can get maybe 60-70 in a 3kg satchel. Overseas 1 cd or 2 cds is going to be $8 (cheaper for N.Z) and that is with cases. BUT 6 or so can go for $8 if you send without cases. Maximum weight is 250grams. Over 250 grams or thicker than 20mm it goes as a parcel BUT the good thing is the weight is 500 grams maximum. Box sets will be too probably too heavy.

------Extras/ lucky dip How about 50 cds for $50. They will be sent without cases in a 3kg satchel $14 or if in Sydney postal region $10. Good titles all as new and no dud labels. Can also add cds in at $1 each to make up to post maximum weight. Consider! It is a great deal. Generally only applies to Australia.

------ALL THE LATEST

**Christian, T Jae “Old ” (Universal Sound) $28 T Jae is a certified member of the great indie artist’s club. has his own drawling style which can add something to even the songs you know by heart. He also writes a great song himself and for an artist we have done particularly well with I would have to say this is the most of his own I have seen on any of his . “Highways Music & Songs” has an “i’ve heard that before” flavour about it and fits in well with the well chosen covers. ’s “Old Violin” is given a great reading but an obscure Canadian, Clayton Claxton provides the wonderfully honk tonker “Whiskey I.V.”. When Clayton did it he called it “Broken Heart Surgery”. Superb. He is great on “Too Far From Home” the story of a hard working man forced to work away from his family and deciding it isn’t worth it. In the hands of someone else it may be a tad mundane. In the hands of T Jae it is brilliant.

**Hot Swing Band “Ain’t Dead Yet” (HTSB) $28 Remember years ago a cd by Erik & Erik? Well Erik Hokkanen is the player here and by gum he is good. He also does a lot of the arranging it seems which gives them a unique sound.In combo with guitarist Cat Clemons there is a refreshing jazzy flavour to a lot of the songs. This is especially true on the late great Johnny Gimble’s “Junior’s Shadow. Really good. There are 2 lead vocalists. The male lead Alex Dormont (also the bass player) reminds a little of Junior Brown. Like all great bands there is also a little embellishment and it works well on the firecracker version of “Bang Bang” which was Janis Martin song so well dones by many years ago. There is some riotous fiddling playing on this. In contrast the next “Along the Navajo Trail” has a loping western feel. “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” seems out of place but that is the only criticism.

**Houston, Jake “Carrying the Flame” (Jake Houston) $28 Pure honky tonk with all songs written by Houston. But “Austin” is an ode to the live music capital of the States. If only he did a song to Fort Worth & San Antonio he would have it all covered. Funny thing he comes from Reno Nevado something he sings about on the great “Just thought I’d Ask”. The slow concluder “Maybe” offers a nice contrast with a little sly wit thrown in....”if the devil and the tax weren’t the same”. This received a 5 star review in People. Individual style is great.

**Lynch, Richard “A Better Place” (MOD) $28 Richard is the first outsider to have an album released on Billy Yates’ My Own Damn (abbreviated MOD)label. Have to say Richard reminds a liitle of Billy as well and that is a big compliment. Well Billy had also done “Daddy’s Radio” so that is a little understandable. He duets with Billy on the upbeat “She’s Got Me Drinkin’ Again” and you’d almost expect someone to introduce each. The jaunty swing of “Texas Front Porch Swing” is toe tapping good with excellent fiddle. A rather unusual choice is “Your the Reason God Made Oklahoma” given a simple unadorned rendition which works well. He is joined by David Frizzell and Stacy Houston and the whole thing works remarkably well. He is great on “Hold Your Horses” a rodeo lament. Great album especially if like me you are a big Billy Yates’ fan.

**McNurlin, Rob “Blue Nashville ” (Buffalo Skinner) $28 McNurlin has a style that is in part reminiscent of and that is probably due to the way he writes. There are 11 songs and all have that feel. All are by Rob too. “Satan’s Bouquet” is more Hank than Hank. Well “Be Careful of the Stones That You Throw” gets more than a look in.The short 11th song is hidden for some reason. It is darn good too. Probably called “Nashville”. And about the real Nashville not the one that exists in the Billboard charts. He “humanises” Nashville so to speak. On the intro Rob sounds like Slim Pickens and that is a compliment. Yes, I hand out strange compliments. There is also a retro instrumental feel which works well. Kayton Roberts dates back to Hank Snow and Kenny Vaughan is currently a member of ’s band. In fact “That Old Guitar” is about playing an old Martin guitar at Marty’s behest, that guitar finding its way to Marty from Hank Williams via & Hank Jnr. The unadorned instrumentation also features Jimmie Fadden, player with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, but he doesn’t intrude much at all. In fact I am still trying to work out if he is there at all. Great album

**Mallery, Brian “That’s Just Me” (Dirt Road) $28 **Mallery, Brian & Georgette Jone “Special Celebration (to & )” (Dirt Road) $28 **Mallery, Brian “Legends” (Dirt Road) $28 **Mallery, Brian “Legends II” (Dirt Road) $28 Wow, not one but 4 Brian Mallery albums. We had an earlier one of Brian a couple or more years ago and it was very good. He is a Canadian from New Brunswick which is right over on the Eastern side just over from the USA but seemingly he could be from the prairies as shall we say the communication skills of his manager and the label leave more than a tad to be desired. BUT in saying that the difficulty in getting them is made up for by the quality of the content. His style probably fits with the likes of and is bathed in the honky tonk traditions. You have to love the title “Whiskey & Whitley”, a great ballad....a ballad for the ages in which he mentions the great man and even a few of his songs to tell the story of a broken romance. Fabulous. Crying steel guitar and lonesome fiddle. Nothing like continuing the name dropping on the great “Jonesin’ for Some Hank”...this is the real thing no poncey Kenny Chesney claptrap here. “Where All Dreams Come Alive” is about the dreams of an aspiring singer going to Nashville. Nice play on words on “I’ve Still Got a Few Tears On You”. He joins with Georgette Jones on a great version of “Golden Ring”. So ends a great album This leads on to the duet album. Interesting in that they include some of George and Tammy ‘solo’ numbers. The performances are pretty darn good. The Legends I & II sees Brian doing some covers and they are largely not overly familiar, I has 16 with perhaps the best known track, “Brotherly Love” being a duet with Wesley Dennis, another great vocalist. 16 tracks on I & 15 on II. One of the best vocalists around.

**Malpass Brothers “Malpass Brothers” (Organic)$28 The Malpass brothers are ’s opening act. They have the best hair you have ever seen and a 1960 hairoff with Don & Phil Everly would be a dream made in heaven. The brothers are not only great singers but fine interpreters as well. “Death in the Family” is a Bill Anderson song and the subtle nuances they show are a winner from the start. Although only in their mid twenties they show they know what it is all about. They look like they may have been in Sid King & the Five Strings and show a real flare with a ripping cover of ’s “It’ll be Me” with a terrific and all too brief solo. Production is first class. Surprise that bluegrass legend Doyle Lawson is in the producer’s booth as there are only hints of bluegrass. The original songs fit in exceedingly well. “Learn to Love Me Too” is a reminiscent of another Haggard compatriot in Scott Joss, wonderful expressive voice with a little nod to the great Hag himself. They do a wonderful cover of the song so associated with Mel Street, “I Met a Friend of Yours Today.” They each have distinctive voices and can change styles very well. “I found Someone to Love’, one of the originals has the feel of a Louvin Brothers song. They show their gospel roots with a wonderfully authentic “Satan & the Saint”. Truly a cd every true country fan would treasure.

**Bob Manning & Kimberly Murray “Misery Rich” (Bourbon Haze) $28 You get three albums in one and it is a joy. Kimberly solo, Bob solo and the duets. The variety is tremendous. “I’d Just Love to Lay You Down” is the only cover on the album it is more Lee & Nancy rather than Conway & Loretta as you may expect. “I Trust You” enforces all the great country themes. He loves her...or he says he does but she knows he loves the bottle more. How could you not love this! Kimberly is great on “I Heard Mama Talking to Jesus”, a plea to make sure her girl takes the right path in life. You can’t help like it, done at quite a lively pace as well. The almost cajunish “Your Bottle Called Me’ again shows the sum of the two is as grand as they are individually. Bob closes with “No One to Blame (Ode to Gary Stewart)” Individually and collectively this is the best thing they have done. I love it.

**Vince Matthews & Jim Casey “The Kingston Springs Suite” (Delmore Recording Society) $28 This is the great lost 1972 outlaw album seeing its first ever cd release. Vince was the mastermind so to speak about a real town twenty miles from Nashville. He had a lot of songwriting clout and wrote (among other things) “Love in the Hot Afternoon” for Gene Watson. The album was embraced by Johnny Cash, Jack Clement and Shel Silverstein who produced. It maybe isthe ultimate outlaw concept album. It is certainly better than “White Mansions: and or “Ballad of Jesse James, usually viewed as the king pins in that area. Not all of it is unknown “Laid Back Country Picker” was a Waylon staple. You hear snippets of things from here in songs that have happened in the interim. It reminds of many but this came first. One it does remind of is Kristofferson’s “The Junkie & the Juicehad Minus Me”. Why? Can’t tell you, it just does. Liked it the first time and loved it the second. Reissue of the year (you say it wasn’t issued in the first place so how can it be a reissue?? Yep, probably right.

**Moon, Kevin “Throwback” (Dirt Road) $28 label mate of Mallery although a native of America. He has a fine voice, definitely shades of Travis or Whitley and on this he is joined by guests who themselves rate highly with Y & T customers. “Til A Tear Become a Rose”, A -Keith Whitley track seems him joined by Rhonda Vincent; on the Conway track “That’s My Job” he is joined by Conway’s son Michael Twitty. Other participants include Daryle Singletary, , Wesley Dennis & . If I had to make a comparison it woyld be with that Crackerbarrel album “Songs of the Year”. On the face of it the songs are familiar but there is so much new life breathed into them you soon forget that.

** Stapleton, Anita “A Place in My Heart” (Dirkworks) $28 CD with DVD Well don’t get excited it is only one song on the DVD but many will be declaring this album of the year. She appears on the Marty Stuart Show and is a protégé of the great . She has appeared as the for . The lovely Teea Goans has been a long time popular favourite and I believe Anita is equally as good. There is not one bad track. The duet with Gene Watson on Jack Clement’s “Just Someone I Used to Know” is the track featured on the DVD. She nails ’s “Someone Had to Teach You”. Fabulous cd, and at risk of being sexist she is a good sort to boot.

**Whitey Morgan & the &8’s “Sonic Ranch” (Whitey Morgan Music) $28 Whitey is a true independent. Does his own thing and well. He is a true honky tonker with an outlaw bent. He does a mix of originals & covers with Tom T Hall’s “That’s How I Got to Memphis” perhaps being the best known. He looks a little like Jamey Johnson and reminds a little of a la “If you Don’t Like Hank Williams” phase or the king outlaw Waylon himself but he is more vested in the traditions of honky tonk than either. Ray Scott also comes to mind. It seems that Whitey is a survivor even though his exploits are quite wild he used to be wilder. He has as long way to go before he gets to milk believe me. The ballad “Good Timin’ Man” has a classic feel. We also have a copy of Whitey’s earlier “Grandpa’s Guitar” (his unplugged album) $28 the real deal!

**Spiker, Lonnie “In Another Life” (Megalith) $28 We had an earlier Lnnie Spiker album called “Unapologetically Honky Tonk” which figured closelyjj in our album of the year calculations at the time and this gem will too. The opener “Things Only a Fool Would Know” is a classic. Country songs with the word “fool” in the title are generally good and when that word is directed at the singer himself you could remove the word “generally” from that. Lonnie runs us through the break up of a relation and this is a song that is bathed in self pity with a sense of fun as well...if possible but that is the hallmarks of greatness. Just when you think this opening track couldn’t get any better we are treated to a great instrumental break with steel guitar and fiddle fighting it out to the end. Now, look at the producer and it is Curt Ryle, one of the greatest indie artists himself and a terrific producer to boot. Duet fans will love that Lonnie features 2 on this gem. “Wish Upon a Star” features sometime member Elizabeth McQueen whilst “This Ain’t Love” features Diane McCall (Darrell’s sister). “Sadie” is a great swing number which gives the band a chance to shine and Tommy White on steel is brilliant. He has backed on the so certainly has a bit of clout. “Your Old Used to Be” is written by Curt Ryle and was the title of one of his own albums. This is a gem.

**Nowlin, David Paul “If I Could Change the World” Guest reviewer...the Swedish Cowboy...remember he has a unique reviewing style!! Thank you S.C.! BTW track 7 is for mine okay!! This is a typically good indies country disc. The first track is exactly my style; an up tempo song about drinking and flirting with a waitress. The second one is super Mel Street cover. After that all songs except one is written by the singer, and really good traditional style country music. Because of all the originals it takes a while to warm to this disc, but after a few spins you realize that this is really good traditional country music. OK, track # 7 is completely useless. It contains some old woman talking about something without any at all interest. Apart from that really good! ***Just got a postcard in the mail from the Swedish Cowboy...from Stockholm. Annual vacation! Only temporary...the Swedish Cowboy...you will be pleased to know is an Aussie Cowboy now. God love him!!***

OTHERS. **John Anderson – “Goldmine” (Bayou Boys) $28 One of the most recognisable voices in the whole of country music and like George Jones (when kicking) I believe you would be better playing a cd than seeing live. Overall the sound is typical JA. Certainly the bayou suggests a bit of Cajun influence and that is certainly the case on “Magic Mama”. “Back Home” is a big ballad. Continuing on in typical JA style is “Louisiana Son of a Beast”. Never disappoints

*Faron Young “Wine Me Up: Best of the Mercury Years” Humphead (UK) 50 tracks. Now OOP $40.

**Red Jenkins “Stone Country” (Red Hot) $35 latest from the Swedish Cowboy...not our Swedish...18 duets. Yep, expensive but don’t blame me. Like a Y&T Records who’s who...Ron williams/ Tony Booth/ Georgette Jones/ Billy Yates/ Willie/ Leona Williams/ Red Steagall...a pair of reds!/ Amber Digby/ Jake Hooker/ Miss Leslie. Everyone is proclaiming it and it got 5 stars in Country Music People...why wouldn’t it...that good. Red’s others are all available for $32 -Truckers Paradise -The Bartender -Neon Bible -Hank & Jack -Cheatin’ Heart Motel

**Justin Trevino “Sings Johnny Bush” Heart of Texas $28 Our hero sings his hero. Justin is better with every album and adds his own “One Night at a Johnny Bush Dance” to kick things off.

**George Goss “Welcome to the Badlands” (indie) $28 Facts...everyone who has this album loves it except the ones who don’t...in the former category include me , BBJ, the Rascal from Warren...in. the latter don’t worry...they’re coming to take him away. Great outlaw style

**Sarah Gayle Meech “Tennessee Love Song” $28 The winner is....Sarah Gayle Meech/..so said the presenter at the recent award in Austin...in the Female Outlaw category. 17 songs that rage from to Patsy style ballads. Not to be missed.

*Bryan Deere “Too Hot To Handle” (Patuxtent) $20 Classic honky tonk album in very much a Hank reminiscent style. I or III (Hank that is) you take your pick.

**Mel Street “3CD” 58 tracks (king) remastered. $35 3 CDThe classics recordings of the greatest ever singer of the cheating song. No one came remotely close. Essential as it gets. Haggard? Jones? Yep AS GOOD AS BOTH.

**Dennis Ledbetter “If You Drive Me to Drinking I’ll Buy the Gas” Honky tonk indie with excellent voice. Looks liek he has lived the honky tonk lifestyle.

**Sylvie Simmons – “Sylvie” Light in the attic Shoudl tick all teh boxes for Iris fans and teh like. $20

*Buck Ford – Country Neve r Goes Out of style $20

**Ben Bullington “Ben Bullington” $28 The best singer songwriter album heard in last couple of years; sadly he has passed on. A former doctor he devoted his last year to recording. Acclaimed by and songs that get better with every play.

*Dale Watson “Call Me Insane” $28 *Asleep at the Wheel & Friends “Still the King: Bob Wills Tribute #3 $28 Tommy Emannuel is great on “Twin Guitar Special”. 22 tracks *John Conlee “Classics 2” $28 *Bill Green ‘Dang Those Texas Honky Tonks” BGM $28 *Tom Russell The Westren Years” 2CD (Rock Beat) 34 songs $28 great storyteller

Bear Family News Tennessee Ernie Ford “Portrait of an American Singer” 5 CD + 128 pg hard cover book. $210. Love this set. Firstly turn to page 81 and you see a most unusual picture...Ern without his famous moustache. You wouldn’t believe how different he looks. This covers the period from 1949 -1960 and covers the non religious recordings. There is a song by song run down and it is amazing the success that “Sixteen Tons” had. It was going to be a b-side only but soon became the hit side and was number one for 10 weeks on the country chart and then number one on the pop charts for 8 weeks. Great notes. 154 songs. Again, the gospel songs are not on this box.

Due Soon (end August releases) “Bear Family 40th Anniversary Box” 3CD + DVD + (wait for it!) 308 page hard cover book special price $140 The book will be spectacular with a history of the label and a complete colour discography as well as a critic’s run down in which they pick their favourite releases. Weight is over 3kg! The cds contain some excellent tribute songs including “I Want to Be on Bear Family When I Die” and Deke Dickerson “Talking Bear Family ” not to mention Dick Damron, Chip Taylor, NArvel felst etc. 223 minutes on the Cds + 75 minutes on the DVD. They are limited editions and don’t last long.

Richard Dobson “Mankind” $32 Even if you haven’t heard of Ricahr dhe was co- writer of Guy Clark’s wonderful “Old Friends”. This has Richard’s version of that classic plus 15 others. This was recorded in the early 90s at Willie’s Pedernales studio and there was a very limited release apparently . Includes 44page booklet.

High Noon “Flatland Saturday Night” $32 This is the first compilation of the legendary Texas rockabilly trio with Shaun Young & Sean Mencher on guitar and Kevin Smith on slap bass...by the way that is not my old high school class mate Kevin “Turtle” Smith. 32 tracks & 40 page booklet.

Truckers, Kickers & Cowboy Angels: The Blissed Out Birth of V 1 2 CD $45 92 pg book V2 1 CD $32 56 pg book V3 2 CD $45 84 pg book V4 2 CD $45 84 pg book V5 2 CD $45 84 pg book V6 2 CD $45 84 pg book V7 2 CD $45 84 pg book When Bear does a series they do it very well. Each cd has around 78 min and has some obscurities mixed mixed wit hwell known tracks that never actually go to the realms of common. Sound is spectacular as are the booklets. So the Wright Brothers Overland Stage Company – “Wild Wicked Woman of the West” mixes in well with Guy Clark’s “Desperadoes Waiting for the Train”. Great series. And when you line the spines up it spells the name of the series.

Herman’s Hermits “Best Of: 50th Anniversary Anthology” 2CD $50 + 104 page booklet 66 tracks 172 minutes As always great playing time. The sound has been fully restored with many tracks being in ful lstereo foir the first time. The preface is by Peter Noone...Herman himself...unlike the group that currently tours...where Herman ain’t Herman. I am not ashamed to say I love this music. Thing you may not have known and that is “Here Comes the Star” the Ross D Wylie hit was first done by Herman.

Go West: Sing West Songs & Stories from the Old West 2DVD $50 2 DVDs incl 52 songs running time 325 minutes This was a 1986 TV special hosted by Dale Robertson and Ken Curtis and giving an excapsulated history with settings from Montana to Wyomin, Utah and Nevada. Songs are performed exclusively for this programme by Johnny Cash • Pete Seeger • Burl Ives • • Glen Campbell • The Norman Luboff Choir • Rex Allen • Herb Jeffries • Eddie Dean • Charlie Red • Riders In The Sky • The Reinsmen.

They Tried to Rock Series $32 ea The Vols 1&2 were called the Hillbillies whilst 3 & 4 are called “The Popsters They Tried to Rock” . Volume 3 33 tracks including “Money Honey” by Ella AMe Morse, “” by Georgia Gibbs and the fabulous “Jukebox Baby” by the equally fabulous Perry Como.

Volume 4 33 tracks including “Shot-gun Boogie” by Rosemary Clooney, “Flip Flop & Fly” by Johnny Ray and “The Fat Man” (yep the Fats Doimino theme song) by Pat Boone.

RARITIES You just won’t find them...all out of print and these are all as new unless noted. Don’t dally as these move quickly. Any questions at all...please do not hesitate to ask.

Anderson, Bill “Greatest Hits” (Varese) $30 This is out of print and stands as the best cd by Bill with the classics “Mama Sang a Song” &“Golden Guitar” hard to get. Yep, “six keys of solid gold”.

Anderson, Bill “Greatest Hits Volume 2” $30 Out of print Varese cd...only place to get his great “Country DJ”, which actually made the charts in Australia. A duet each with Jan Howard & Mary Lou Turner. Nice hair Whispering Bill!

Arwood, Bill “I Want More” $35 Great honky tonk singer. Nothing subtle but all great and you would suggest he is not talking about someone else when he sings “When Jack Takes You Out on the Town” ..he isn’t there on a research project!! Bob Grady label, which the Swedish Cowboy will so correctly point out is one which every true country fan will want every release.

Arwood, Bill Collectors Series Volume 1 $35 15 tracks mainly recorded on the great Bob Grady label& released as singles so no duplication with the previous. Honky tonk gem.

Bandy, Moe, “No Regrets” (Curb) $30 Bandy, Moe “Many Mansions” (Curb) $30 Bandy, Moe “Following the Feeling” (CBS) $30 Bandy, Moe “Picture in a Frame” (Intersound) $25 Bandy, Moe “” (Intersound) $25 No less than 4 Moe Bandy albums you will simply not find. The2 Curb albums followed his Columbia albums and are all great. “Many Mansions” features a great threesome of Moe Bandy songs of which “Charlie” will delight....you think he is talking about a human but there is a canine twist!! The last two followed Moe’s Curb albums. “Picture in a Frame” is a classic tale of a fading relationship.... he will always love her till he is just a picture in a frame. “Act Naturally” is a strange batch of songs but includes several gems such as Moe’s version of “Borrowed Angel” and “That’s the Way Love Goes” make this a fine effort.

Berry, Benny "Standing Here Alone" $40 Classic country indie cd. Ultra Rare gem Hawk Records from Northern Ireland was the company that released Oklahoman Benny’s first 4 albums. Everyone who was a Merle Haggard fan loved Benny. He had a similar timbre in his voice and was ably backed by a team led by Mike Headrick, a picture of whom is hung on the Swedish Cowboy’s wall and to whom the (highly religious) Swedish Cowboy says a prayer of thanks every night.For the initiated we speak of the Swedish Cowboy a lot with due deference to his enormous unparalleled country collection. Benny also is the recipient of our greatest EVER independent artist award. Others may disagree but they are entitled to be wrong. Every one of these is nothing less than brilliant, especially for fans of Merle Haggard.In fact I can distinctly remember being unable to convince one Haggard fan it wasn't the great man himself. This debut came after Benny almost signed with Columbia records and it didn’t happen because of something Columbia did. Sadly as with many the genius is countered by extreme insecurity, something which has basically seen Benny abandon his career. His debut saw no less than 8 Benny Berry songs with just a and a Merle Haggard song to counter. Merle’s “I’ Turning Off A Memory” is wonderful but play them side by side and you would choose Benny’s version every time.

Berry, Benny “Some Things Never Change” $35 Berry, Benny “Mama’s Rocking Chair” $35 Berry, Benny “When the Trains Still Ran Through Dixie” $35 His final three Hawk albums are as essential as the first even if they contain less of Benny’s own songs. Benny composed two on “Some Things Never Change” of which “What’s Sad About My Heart” is superb. Two covers are Absolutely great. If you do a Stoney Edwards Song and you can say maybe even do it better then that is more that a recommendation and such is the case with “Pickin’ Wildflowers” though Mel McDaniel’s “God Made Love” is just as good. As anyone who has purchased a Benny Berry album will say the whole thing is a highlight. “Mama’s Rocking Chair” has some gems that are as good as anything you’ll hear “Old Gideon Bible” a wonderful tale of a soldier who had been saved twice...first when desperate he read it in a hotel room and secondly when it deflected a bullet. Love the way Benny says “Gid-yan”. “Mama’s Rocking Chair” is one of producer’s Mike Headrick’s gems. Ben contributes two of which the conversational “The Words My Father Said to Me”. Great tikly piano from Hargus ”Pig” Robbins introduces the great “I Never Go Around Mirrors”. His final Hawk album doesn’t feature any Benny Berry songs but producer Mike Headrick has mined the writing resources of Whitey Shafer, Hank Cochran and Max D Barnes and so the result is as good as you’ll get. The lonely fiddle and solo that introduces Billy Joe Shaver’s “West Texas Love Song” is one of the most wonderful things you will ever hear. Haggard’s “Jesus Takes a Hold” is a s relevant today as it was when first sung by Haggard..scaringly so. Benny does a great take on “In the Garden”, good as it has been done. Sadly Benny has quite a few mental problems so the wonderful days of Hawk Records are likely never to return. Producer Mike Headrick told me “I know him better than anyone but I still can’t say I really know him”. The legacy of these 4 Hawk Albums is to treasure.

Boone, Larry “Down That River Road” $30 (Mercury) As good as it gets. A great songwriter& singer he reminds of in the late 80s! Superb, Mrs Johnson. Includes his “Everybody Wants to be Hank Williams” with the almost scary refrain …”but nobody wants to die”. He selects songs just as well such as “Best Performance of a Fool.” His final Mercury album.

Britton, Marsha “Good Times & Hard Times” $30 Great album on Hawk label. You allude to the album title and the reward are two great duets with Benny Berry on “We’ve Had Some Good Times” and “You Make the Hard Times Easier for Me”. Marsha contributes several songs and the notes tell us she has moved to Nashville from Texas where she is a writer for the Galbraith Group.

Bruce, Ed “The Best Of” $35 (Varese) This 18 tracker is long out of print & collects all his wonderful MCA recordings which prove he was not only one of the best writers but singers as well. Hard to pick favourites as all so good. Maybe “The Last Cowboy Song” with almost a cameo appearance by Willie and of course his own “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow up to be Cowboys” and the delightfully melodic “When You Fall in Love Everything’s a Waltz”. BUT as implied by the title they are all good.

Cargill, Henson “All American Cowboy” $40 Amethyst 20 tracker from the late 80s may have been Henson’s final hurrah as a recording artist but it equals the best he ever did. His voice has matured and in places sound a little like Ray Price especially on “Bridges I Have Burned”. He includes a new version of his biggest hit “Skip a Rope” and it is everything you would hope it would be. This is impossible to get. Several songs employ rodeo imagery. “Silent Rebels” is a terrific story about the silent majority.

Cash, Tommy "25th Anniversary Album" $25 w,ith George Jones, Johnny Cash Playback was a Nashville indie which were quite active in the early the early 90s. This is a great cd with Tommy being joined by big brother John & Tom T Hall plus a guy called Jones...George that is. Woops nearly forgot Connie Smith.

Clark, Guy "The Dark Radio Special" CD hosted by Rusty Miller promo Sugar Hill. $28 Tracks 1-5 are the 1 hour radio special....6-9 are music grabs and promos. 10- 24 are Q&A with Guy. Never commercially available and a real good thing to have for a Guy Clark fan.

Coe, David Allan “Crazy Daddy” (Columbia) $35 Coe, David Allan “Standing Too Close to the Flame” (DAC). $35 “Crazy Daddy” was the title song of Coe’s last CBS album. It was also the ONLY one of his Columbia albums NOT reissued by Bear Family as part of their 2 on 1 series. Bad news is that only 2 new songs are featured. The title, and “I’ve Enjoyed as Much of This as I Can Stand”. It is padded out by some great songs none better than “Love IS a Never Ending War” in which Coe sits on a Greyhound bus between two war heroes (“ I saw the wood that filled his shoe”) so in order to share their drink he stretches the truth a little...something that isn’t too far from the real Coe. “I showed them scars & stitches inflicted by Maria...I never thought that would get me a drink so I blamed it on Korea”. It maybe only for completists but the title track is literally as good as it gets. The second cd was on Coe’s DAC label and there are some gems some of which are co- writes between Danny Mayo (wrote some of Confederate Railroad’s best) and Billy Yates. “Lead Me Not Into Temptation” way be the title least obeyed by the singer. The novelty “Did You Know Elvis” features Coe and Jimmy Velvet. Great.

Conlee, John “Harmony” (Columbia) $25 Very rare. 1986 gem. Contains his brilliant version of “Class Reunion”, which was also done by but not as well as by JC. “She Told Me So” was recorded by the 2 Georges...Jones and Strait but again the minute (of stature) John Conlee wins in a canter.

Conlee, John “Fellow Travellers” $25 (16th Avenue) The album was great but the timing wasn’t as the company went bust. The title song is an inspirational type anthem whilst I personally love “Hopelessly Yours” (in fact I thought Pinkard & Bowden should have done a parody called “Hopelessly...yaws” and it would be just as great as the original)

Craddock, Billy “Crash” "Greatest Hits" Capitol $30 This features Crash's late 70s/80s recordings on Capitol. The biggest was "If I Could Write a Song As Beautiful As You" ..... you didn't know he was the most popular US artist in Australia in the late 50s and early 60s when he was just a rock and roller called Crash Craddock. There is some excellent country stuff here with “I Cheated on a Good Woman’s Love” getting to #4....same as “If I Could Write “ etc. Very hard to get.

Curtis, Sonny No Stranger to the Rain $30. As a writer he wrote the title track, of course a massive hit (biggest in fact) for Keith Whitley, part of the 5 in a row #1 singles Keith had and also CMA Song of the Year, when such an accolade really meant something. He also wrote “I Fought the Law” plus several hits for Buddy Holly. Also a fine singer. This was a UK only release from1990. Incidentally he wrote “” one of the first hits. Sonny does a great version

Dalton, Lacy J "Anthology" CD $35 (Renaissance) out of print Fabulous artist and a true stylist. This is a superb compilation that has been deleted twice. It is currently unavailable in any form. This is the original silver disc. Aussie fans will know "Working Class Man" as the biggest hit of Jimmy Barnes but Lacy gives it a greater reading with a lot of subtlety. She is one of the truly great country vocalists. Couldn't we do with her now. This is a very hard to get item and this is absolutely pristine. 20 tracks each one better than the last...if you line them up in a particular way that is.

Daniels, Clint “” $25 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 rear insert & cd only. Again, for unfathomable reasons never released.

Davis, Joey “Love Songs, Waltz’s True Stories & Lies” $35 The spelling may be a bit out but 17 superb honky tonk tracks are as good as it can go.“Barroom Hall of Fame” may be the best. Everybody loves this album. This has been voted as one of the Top 10 indie albums of all time. Like all true honky tonkers Joey is an all rounder..drinking, lying and cheating. Just superb. Mind you a couple of rodeo songs such as “Silver Saddle’ and tales of a drifting life “Guitar Picker From Rody, Wyoming” confirm the legendary status of this all time great.

Delray, Martin "Get Rhythm" CD $30 (Atlantic) It is hard not to believe that Martin was not one of the biggest names ever in country music based on the strength of this and his second Atlantic album. This is absolutely one of the best albums we have ever had and whilst the title track features Johnny Cash joining Martin in a sensational duet, I have no reservations in saying Martin’s version of the Wood Newton song “Lillie’s White Lies” is the best album track on any album we have ever had. The fact the rest of the album is nothing less than great makes this a must have. Trivia: Martin’s real name is Mike Martin and he is a professional tennis coach. We still await his third album.

Dillon, Dean “Slick Nickel” (Capitol) $40 Dillon, Dean “I’ve learned To Live” (Capitol) $35 The most successful Nashville songwriter of the modern age is a shamefully under recorded singer as these two albums show, both as a singer of his own songs but as an interpreter as well. His version of the Del Shannon penned classic “I Go to Pieces” will have you nodding your head in agreement. His own version of “You Sure Got This Ol’ redneck feelin’ Blue” is wonderful. “Father Song & Holy Ghost” is a long tale about a family tragedy. All albums are entirely great. Highlights on the second are just as great. The oft covered Dillon/Gosdin/Cannon “Back in the Swing of Things” and a duet with on “Don’t you think about leaving” are 2 of many.

Dunn, Holly “” MTM $25 Dunn, Holly “Cornerstone” MTM $25 Dunn, Holly “Across the Rio Grande” MTM $25 Holly could have been the biggest star in country music bar the fact the label on which she started went broke.. The first features the hit the ground running hit “Daddy’s Hands” which was also written by Holly. It helped her win 1987 Horizon Award at the CMAs. “Cornerstone” was more folky flavoured and features mainly original songs with a delightful covers of Jim Croce’s “Lover’s Cross”, Holly’s songwriting was considerably enhanced with 3 top 10s. Songwriting partners included & her brother Chris Waters. She really hit her straps with the third scoring 3 top 10s. The thing is one wasn’t the title cut, one of the best things you would ever hear. Now, you know I am a big Reba fan BEFORE she became a diva, well she also did a version of “Across the Rio Grande” and it too remained an album track. Now honestly it is a short half head between the two versions and I do not know who gets to the line first. Just superb.

Edwards, Stoney “Old Folks Stick Together” $40 Razor& Tie. A stunning compilation of his Capitol tracks including “A Two Dollar Toy”, the closest he ever got to a hit “Hank & Lefty Raised My Country Soul”, his stunning take on “Mississippi You’ve Been on My Mind”. etc. What a voice! Lefty, Hag and Stoney!! Don’t miss it. So good that Bear Family should do a box set.

Edwards, Stoney Just For Old Times Sake $40 Stoney was part African American and part native American and sang with a Lefty Frizzell influenced voice that was the equal of that other Lefty influenced character one Merle Haggard. This was his last album, sadly. But it was as good as his wonderful Capitol albums. Stunning and not a track undeserving of the highest accolades. Many of the songs were by the producer Billy Joe Kirk.

Emmons, Buddy & Ray Pennington “In the Mood for Swinging” sealed $35 This opens with a wonderfully subtle version of “In the Mood”. It sneaks up on you and before you know it you are entwined in the mesmerising steel guitar playing of Buddy Emmons. “Don’t Worry (I’m Not Staying Very Long)” is a terrific country song co-written by Pennington and Hank Cochran. The difference between country and has never been so slight. Pennington should again be complimented on his vocals. Again like Ray Price they are seemingly effortless. Buddy Emmons has no peer. Sad news...Buddy Emmons passed away at the end of July. All eulogies mention one thing, as a pedal steel guitarist he was the best. There are no better indicators of that than these cds.

Emmons, Buddy/Pennington, Ray “Swing & Other Things: We’re Steel Swingin” $45 (Step One) sealed.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. Country songs include a cover of Bob Wills’ Fat Boy Rag” and Mel Holt’s “Texas with the X Removed”. You wouldn’t think so buy they mix perfectly with tracks such as “Take the A Train”. Pennington has an effortless Ray Price inspired style. An excellent vocalist.

Emmons, Buddy & Ray Pennington “Swingin’ Our Way” (Step one) $45 Very hard to get. It starts with 2 instrumentals but the 3rd track “I Love You So Much it Hurts’ reminds a lot of arguably the greatest instrumental intro to any song. I speak of Buddy Emmons intro to Ray Price’s version of “Night Life”. This so much reminds of that that I get goose bumps just listening to it. “Just a Way of Life” is a co-write by Pennington & Step One co-founder Mel Holt. For mine the Step One label is just impossible to beat. 20 tracks on this.

Ewing, Skip - “Coast of Colorado” MCA $30 You try and work out why artists don’t become superstars. Sometimes it is easy because they are frankly not talented enough. That doesn’t/didn’t apply to Skip. Great voice and great songs; the title song was co- written with Max D Barnes. A deep voice and good songs. fans would lap it up. Produced by Jimmy Bowen, this has it all.

Fargo, Donna “Best of Donna Fargo” (Varese) $30 She not only sang them but wrote them. “Happiest Girl in the Whole USA” and “Funny Face” had tremendous success in Australia. “Happiest Girl” was an Australian pop chart #1 for 4 weeks and “Funny Face” was a top 3. She had many more number 1s in the US country charts including the gospel-like “You Can’t Be a Beacon If Your Light Don’t Shine” (written by her husband Marty Cooper.) 18 tracks and a lot more than just the 2 you know.

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 acoustic guitar. The simple arrangements 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. As good as “Stardust”!

Frickie, Janie Labor of Love (Columbia) $28 She changed the spelling of her surname to a more phonetic pronunciation and the albums she made under that spelling were her best and this I believe is her best. This is her best aI believe. Superb version of ’s great “ the Blues” and an equally grand version of Katy Moffatt’s “Walking on the Moon” Understated excellence by a great singer.

Gaddis, Ron “Chip Off the Old Block” $40 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 Lorrie Morgan; 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, though the ‘thank yous’ ate the end could hint at something else. The all out honky tonker “I Fell Off the Wagon” features his former boss, George Jones himself and Porter Wagoner 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 and fallen off that very shakey wagon .

Gaffney, Chris and the Cold Hard Facts (ROM) $35 Chris’s first. Has a great style and includes some honky tonk on this,. “Room 208” sounds like it may have been done by Moe Bandy...the room where it all goes wrong. But there are some wonderful uptempo numbers here none better than the based opener “Lift Up Your leg” Also some great tales of regret such as “Glasshouse” (“from your glass house you can throw the first stone”). His Hightone albums are all great but this is better.

George, Sonny Live at the Tennessee Prison for Women $40 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 successfully combine 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 it is 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. This is long out of print and for mine the best album of its sort. Alas it wasn’t filmed.

George, Sonny Country & Western Roundup volume 1 $35 This was Sonny’s debut and is a little more traditional (but only a little) largely due to multi instrumentalist Fats Kaplin. Great upbeat songs and again a better mix of rockabilly and country could not be found. Sadly both are out of print,

Glaser, Tompall Best of Tompall Glaser & the Glaser Brothers $40 (Collectors Choice) Out of print cd 24 great tracks. Tompall’s songwriting legacy is shown with the opening “Streets of Baltimore” a co-write with the Irving Berlin of country music , Harlan Howard. He is perhaps best known as one of the Outlaws on the album “Wanted the Outlaws” where his wonderfully witty “Put Another Log on the Fire” was featured . But all the songs are great particularly “Charlie” with one of the most delightfully malicious lines ever delivered. He does standards and originals with equal aplomb. The witty (at least on the surface)“Musical Chairs” like many of his songs has a sobering message.

Vern Gosdin "40 Years of The Voice" 4 CD $90 This is a rather natty fold out box set.Compact but extremely well packaged. It has 101 songs. They are in the main not the original versions with 77 in fact being re-recordings of hits. But that does NOT diminish the merit at all as Vern's vocals are excellent. Add to this 14 songs recorded with his brother Rex (The Gosdin Brothers) which were recorded late 60s/early 70s but never released. Whilst Vern's contribution to mainstream country cannot be underestimated neither can his role in shaping the west coast country rock movement. It concludes with 10 new songs. I can relate a number of Vern stories..he was quite the man with an eye for the ladies. Some of his later albums always featured a "protege"! yeah, right. Another I was told of the time he went to the jewellers to have his collection of gold chains cleaned. He then decided to wear them all back and is said to look like Mr T. Quite the character. Sadly, like this box set he is gone now and this is a wonderful legacy of one of the greatest singers of all time.....THE VOICE. Completely dried up and impossible to get.

Gosdin, Vern “Till the End/ Never My Love/ You’ve God Somebody” 3 on 2CD (Edsel UK Already out of print. These were Elektra albums from late 70s. All three are great $35

Great Divide “Going for Broke” $35 Have gone on to major label success but this was their indie label debut which shows a much stronger Texas plains style approach with all their own material. Gary P Nunn guests on “Alive and Well”. They were initially seen as Gary P protégés so this may give an idea of the sound. Don’t confuse it with their latter major label sound.

Griffith, Andy "What it is , is Andy Griffith". Cema special products 1995 2Cd (EMI 99264) $30 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. Hillbilly good time humour galore.

Harris, Emmylou “Cimarron” Eminent $28 A great album highlighted by her soaring version of Poco’s “Rose of Cimarron” from where the album gets its title. Many highlights but I love her version of Sonny Throckmorton’s “Last Cheater’s Waltz” as well as a lovely version of Townes’ “”. A gem from a gem.. Bonus track, “Colors of Your Heart”.

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.

House, James “ Hard Times for an Honest Man” (MCA) $30 His second MCA album was even better than his first self titled album & is very very hard to get. It is one of the best singer & songwriter albums of the early 90s and full of memorable commercial style songs as James collaborates with the great Kostas on most.

Jackson, Alan “New Traditional” (Americana) $80 NEW & SEALED I had a lot to do with this album when it was available and did quite well with it. I knew it existed and was in Nashville for the very first time. Americana Records had a Music Row presence. They had quite w few releases or rather re- releases of steel guitar classics as well as a release by a Japanese singer named J T Kanehira called "J T Blues" and featuring a gem of a track called "They Called Me Japanese Willie". I knew I was near their office but not sure how near so I asked a gentleman if he knew where they were. "Sure!" he said as he put his package in his "hillbilly cadillac" (his words for a pick up truck) and I was soon entering through the door. I was greeted by a slightly dodgy looking gentleman who was giving me the evil eye."I'd like to get some copies of your album if I could", I politely asked. "Sorry, we don't have any" was the curt reply. But after a brief silence and a recognition that my accent was not a local one he offered that "we may have a few left" and I was able to buy a dozen. His reaction was based on the fact that Jackson's label Arista records did NOT take too kindly to this album and in fact threatened to own a piece of American's arse...if not all and given the size difference it was no contest. There has been speculation that this was an earlier album by Jackson but I don't believe that to be the case. I think it was a demo album he did when perhaps looking for a contract. I don't think it a songwriter's demo asthe tracks are quite well known most notably Jeanne Seely's big hit "Don't Touch Me" (written by her then husband Hank Cochran) and what was a very clever adpatation in "Merle & George" (adapted from Stoney Edwards' "Hank & Lefty Raised My Country Soul"). All in all it is a great album but the original backings have been obviously revamped by such session giants as & Rob Hajacos. It sounds great and Jackson will not disappoint.I was lucky to be able to buy some more when it became apparent that selling any in Nashville could have meant a big law suit.I don't know where they went but they weren't around for very long...... Americana label that is. When these were sold in the US they were in a plastic long style package with the booklet separate to the cd and case. This is therefore indeed rare with the complete Japanese packaging including obi strip. I have NEVER SEEN ANOTHER. It is beyond rare and will not see the light of day again. I do love this album. It is very good indeed. Truly “rarest of the rare.”

Jackson, Larry “Blue Highway” $35 (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 there have only been 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.

Jansen, Frank You’re a Phone Call I Need to Make $35 (Bob Grady) Jansen, Frank My Way or the Highway $30 (Pink Records) Staggeringly great albums, the first on the wonderful Bob Grady label with production from Mike Headrick (the Swedish Cowboy will NOT go to bed at night unless he has said a prayer of thanks under the mounted 8 x 10 signed Mike Headrick photograph that hangs proudly in his living room) . I know there are several who rate the title song of the first as one of the greatest album tracks ever, and I am not going to argue. Most of the tracks on the first are by Bob Grady whilst Frank proves himself a writer of the highest standard on the second. He is also a brilliant interpreter. On the first he does a wonderful version of ’s “The Heart That You Own”. Am I going to suggest Frank does it better than Dwight...yep, I am.

Kelley, Noah Red Roses After the Rain $25 (Asylum) Never out, which is a pity as it was very good Produced by Kyle Lehning too. 10 tracks. Advance cd with no graphics just rear insert. She wrote 5 of the songs, including the great “A Certain Place” with none other than Melba Montgomery. It has been suggested she is married to Roger Springer & indeed she & Rog( we like informality) co-wrote the excellent “Man In the Mirror” which was on Mark Chesnutt’s “Rollin’ With the Flow” album. Just thought...was she a technical “non-label” mate of . Yep, for sure

Kendalls 20 Favorites $30 The Kendalls made one album for Epic where they went and re-recorded their hits. The result was even better than the originals with the highlight being Royce’s lead on “Pittsburgh Stealers”. The excellence of the studio musicians lifts the tracks originally done for Ovation to a new level.

Kobayashi, Katz “Steelin” (Harrys Records) $40 Japanese steel guitar player with a Jewish christian name! He was for many years the steel player in Marty Robbins’ band. This is a great steel album not only featuring Katz but also Weldon Myrick, Paul Franklin, Hal Rugg, Doug Jernigan and Buddy Emmons!!! WITH Pig Emmons on piano, Charlie McCoy on harmonica, on harmonica and Rob Hajacos on fiddle, The title track is hard to beat...in fact it is all good and impossible to find. What a lineup.

Leigh, Danni "Masquerade of a Fool" $45 ultra rare European release. Danni Leigh had 3 major label albums...she was hailed as the female Dwight Yoakam..the first 2 of these were great...the third..well frankly pretty ordinary so many may have missed this 2007 album which has gone without a trace almost. It was not released in the USA. This is superb. It may even be her best. Don't miss it. And you even get to see what she looks like which is very nice...well she was the female Dwight so be rewarded & see beyond the hat brim. It is similar to her WB debut “29 Nights” but better...much better.

Logan, Josh Somebody Paints the Wall $55 One off major label on Curb and released 1988. Find a copy now? Yeah, try it. A gem of an album which sees Josh as the embodiment of the spirit of Mel Street…has there ever been a better proponent of the cheating song…a staple of country music. Simply put NO! The title song is also covered by George Jones on the wonderful “You Oughta Be Here With Me”…get them both…they are that good. All the songs are great. “Danger Soft Shoulders” is a sign you see along US highways but that is NOT what Josh is singing about here!!

Logan, Josh Something Strange $50 Bob Grady label…just when you think you’d never hear of Josh again he pops up on Bob Grady’s wonderful label with a couple of wonderful Mel Street covers, best being “Hell Yes I Cheated”…the way Josh sings the refrain….”And I’d Do it Again” would have Mel smiling down from above (or may that would be up from somewhere else!). 13 tracks all better than good.

Louvin, Charlie "50 Years of Makin' Music" $25 Waylon, Willie & Jones & Crystal Gayle. Brilliant cd onPlayback label includes duets with Waylon & Willie, Melba Montgomery, George Jones etc but the highlight is“This Darn Pen” which is just with Willie and is a song to kill for!!

Lyda, Jacob “My Dreams Just Came True” 1995 Bob Grady label $35 He emerged as one of the best indie singers anywhere. He was only in his teens when he recorded the first, All songs produced by Mike Headrick. The highlight of the first in the stunning honky tonker “It Must Have Been Something I Drank”as well as the great play on words “Hall Of Shame”. Please do yourself a favour and grab it He is that good. He does some standards and originals with equal skill. Even “Long Black Veil”, though done by every man and his dog, is refreshing. Benny Berry does backing vocals. Includes 2 of his own songs both of which are tops...”After the Pain” & “Gone for Good” Lyda, Jacob “Here We Go Again” 1997 Bob Grady label $28 again we will say every album on Bob Grady label should be in the hands of every true country fan. He has 3 songs on this with the mdium to fast “They’ll Make it Anyway” probably the best. Again...great label and great direction from Mike Headrick. Lyda, Jacob “Three Times the Charm” Country Discovery Record $28 These out of print gems are for those who love the likes of Ricky Van Shelton and Randy Travis. YES, he is that good. He is on mentor Mike’s Country Discovery label for the third and it is probably his best yet with most songs penned by Jacob with a few from Mike Headrick and some collaborations between the two. He still looks too young to shave but content is superb. Lyda, Jacob “Back in the Swing” Country Discovery Records $28 Fourth of only 4. Music Row career was supposed to be happening and even showed a picture of Jacob with a goatee, so we can assume he is now old enough to shave. But don’t miss these, has contributed 3 and Jacob again shows he can write. Incidentally the interestingly titled “8 Seconds from Being a man” is a rodeo song. You were thinking? Great song. Does it have a happy ending? Well...not an unhappy one. Great rousing chorus. “Lonesome Doesn’t Live Here Anymore” is a duet with Jackie Harling. Wonderful melody. You wonder how he could not be one of the biggest stars.

Lynne, Shelby “Sunrise” (Columbia) $25 Lynne, Shelby “Tough All Over” (Columbia) $25 Lynne, Shelby “Soft Talk” (Columbia) $25 is either devilishly stupid or smart and honestly you could make arguments for both. BTW there is no guessing as far as the Grammys organisers go. Her first album above came out in 1989 and by 2000 she would have had at least 6 albums out yet received the Grammy for best NEW artist. She is a versatile vocalist and torch songs and big ballads rule here. The great uptempo “That’s Where it Hurts” (starts slow) offers a bit of variety. “Tough All Over” is more country but the best song is a classic torch “Dog Day Afternoon”. Next best may be the standard “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” with some glorious Rob Hajacos fiddle. Third album third producer and third okay album. Dean Dillon’s great “I’ve learned to Live” is a great song beautifully sung. “The Very First Lasting Love” is a duet with Les Taylor of the group Exile. 3 nice albums. She then decided she hated country music but recently has seemingly decided she was as silly as it seems and loves it again, as she thought she did here. There can be no doubting the 3 original albums are actually excellent.

McClain, Charly “Still I Stay” (Columbia) $28 This was the early age of cds and a lot of titles were made in very limited quantities. Players weren’t cheap and the discs themselves were expensive. So anything around this time is hard to get. This is in fact the first one I have seen. Produced by Dennis Morgan & her husband Wayne Massey. “Blue” (not the Leanne Rimes ‘ song) is dedicated to Wayne.

McDaniel, Mel Country Pride $30 Great album on the defunct DPI label from 1991, and I believe the last album of new material for Mel. Great album including Mae Axton’s “If I Live to Be A Hundred I’ll Die Young” and the fabulous “Annual Blount County Snuff Dipper’s Ball” Not a Tom T Hall song but sounds like it could be, doesn’t it.

McDaniel, Mel Rockabilly Boy $35 This is a great album, his last for Capitol and it has the wonderfully witty blues song “You Can’t Play the Blues in an Air-conditioned Room”. In other words you have to suffer a little so to speak. Great story in “Reverend Luther & the Madam” and as the Cosmic Cowboy says a good hooker song is as good as it gets. Lot of uptempo things including the title. One of Mel’s best.

McDaniel, Mel “Now You’re Talking” $35 1988 capitol album produced by Jerry Kennedy. All good songs including the top 10 “Real Good Feel Good Song” and one you could almost guess the gist of by the title “Sunday Morning Preachers”...actually a little different in that Mel goes through a lot of the great country artists and what we can learn from them. Great. “Bye Bye Johnny” is a song and someone once called Chuck one of the best country songwriters...they were not wrong. Great piano from Pig robbins on this. Very hard to get this one.

McEntire, Reba “” $35 2cds 40 Mercury tracks. Double cd case with attractive slip sleeve & book Her best & most country. 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...Reba’s first recordings were in 1977 and this includes unissued tracks such as “the Blues Don’t Care Who’s got them”. In fact there are 6 unissued songs and the album is generous 2 hours.

Mata. Billy Made in Texas $35 A real favourite. San Antonio’s top country artist which contains one of the Cosmic Cowboy’s and my favourite tracks the impossibly catchy “If This Was Texas”. This is on the Bill Green label or should I say was as it is impossible to find. He covers a number of styles with great versions of Ian Tyson’s “Navajo Rug” plus one of the last songs that hit for Lefty, “Honky Tonk Stardust Cowboy”. A wonderful album.

Mensy, Tim “Stone By Stone” $25 1990 release by a stunning vocalist, guitarist and songwriter, responsible for all tracks on this Epic label gem. Tim has the great knack of being able to produce great songs with touching irony such as “I Wish His Future Were Ahead of Me” and “Wrong Way to Find Mr Right”

Miller, Roger "Best Of Volume One: Country Tunesmith" (Mercury) $30 This gem focusses on Roger’s own versions of songs that were hits for others. As such the 20 tracks are ultra rare & essential. They include “Tall Tall Trees”, “Don’t We All Have the Right”, “Husbands & Wives”, “Half a Mind” etc. Mainly not hits for Roger which makes it even better & rarer. The day Roger’s premature death was announced John Laws played perhaps a 10 minute edited version of this album.

Nelson, Leo Under Neon Lights $40 Want to know my all time favourite independent, yeah not one of but the top spot?? This is it. Great album produced by Bob Grady with assist from the great Mike Headrick. 12 great tracks with a duet with Bill Arwood on the title track.I think on reflection a 3 way tie with Ron Sweet and Arnold Sanford is in order. Alas both Ron & Arnold have gone and heaven knows where Leo is?? To me the jewel is how easy Leo sings. Marsha Britton contributes harmony vocals. Favourite tracks? Start at the beginning and stop at the end. BUT, if pushed “Mama Did Raise One Fool After All” and “Under Neon Light”, the duet with Bill Arwood are superb.

Nelson, Willie A Horse Called Music $25 Nelson, Willie Born For Trouble $25 The former is one I remember selling to a customer who swore he never liked Willie, would never buy a Willie cd. Well guess what he bought this and changed his mind on the spot. “Nothing I Can Do About It now”, the jaunty opener from Beth Nielsen Chapmen and “If I Were a Painting” co written by could not be more different style wise but are equally stunning. The following “Born for Trouble’ also starts out with a jaunty song “Ain’t necessarily So” and actually has none of Willie’s own songs on it. But they are a great bunch and there are two more by Neilsen- Chapman plus the super “I Don’t Have a Reason to Go to California Anymore” by Hank Cochran & Billy Don Burns’. Willie Nelson 2on1 w. & Hank Snow "In the Jailhouse Now(with Webb) / Brand On Your Heart (with Hank)" $50 DCC 198 Very hard to get. The Hank Snow album appears on Bear Family's Hank Snow "The Singing Ranger V4" box but the only cd appearance of the Webb album is right here. Very hard to get...hey, I already said that. I think the highlight for mine is Willie & Hank doing a great turn on "I've Been Everywhere". Very hard to get....darn I knew I heard that somewhere before.

O’Kanes “O’Kanes” Columbia $35 The debut album from Keiran Kane & Jamie O’Hara was special, very special. They wrote the songs, well all except “That’s All right Mama” which is really unlike you have ever heard before. It wasn’t bluegrass but it wasn’t country either, somewhere in the middle. The songs were of the highest calibre. The “specialness” of this album remains. Just wonderful. Every song is as good now as it was then.

Owens, Buck Hot Dog $25 Owens, Buck Kickin’ In $25 Owens, Buck Act Naturally $30 3 out of Buck’s 3 comeback albums which one connoisseur told me were as good as anything Buck ever did, the third being hardest to get with appearances by and being highlights. Ringo of course did the lead vocal when did a very country version of it and it is a treat to hear it due t style with the originator although not writer. Similarly Emmylou combining with Buck on “” is a hard to beat musical treat.

Oxford, David "David Oxford" CD $55 Classic country indie cd. Vaquero label Texas. 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!!

Parker, Billy And Friends $40 Out of print Bear Family cd...not many of their cds go out of print and when they do the price of available copies skyrockets. This even has 2 albums on the one. The first is all duets with likes of Cal Smith, Jack Greene, Webb Pierce, Darrell McCall etc. 21 tracks

Pinkard & Bowden "Gettin' Stupid" $50 Warner Special products ultra rare This is a superb 22 tracker on Warner Special Products which collects their best singles and album cuts. Some of these were co-written with Tim Wilson and also appear on his album “Songs for the musically Disturbed”...his versions of course. Best track is the hilarious “Arab, Alabama” (a real place) which came out at the height of the Middle East Gaddafi fears. What would be a better accompaniment that “Libyan on a Jet Plane” a wonderful parody of ’s great “Leavin’ on a Jet Plane”. George Jones gets worked over on “She Thinks I Steal Cars”. Then there is “Delta Dawg”, a somewhat ironic inclusion as it was Sandy Pinkard who co-wrote the original “”, along with all people, Larry Collins of the Collins Kids. They are both excellent singers and for anyone who loves Tim Wilson’s “Songs for the Musically Disturbed” (and who doesn’t) would love this. This is even better.

Price, Ray Sometimes a Rose $25 Great early 90s album, and his last for the label (Columbia) which contains one of our favourite tracks in “Not a Dry Eye in the House, “ a co-written by Bob McDill. Four songs are from Roger Brown (of Swing City fame) so you do get a lot of variety. Three and Hargus Robbins...you can’t ask for much more.

Price, Ray Portrait of a Singer $55 Step One Price, Ray Step One Records Hall of Fame Series $45 Step One Price, Ray Heart of Country Music $60 Step One Now Ray’s albums on Step One were all special. The first and third were double records. The first of these has Ray covering what could mainly be construed as pop songs, whilst I have it on good authority the 3rd is Ray’s personal favourite of all the albums he made and why wouldn’t it be as he interprets 20 country classics Ray Price style, which means as good as you are ever gonna hear them. Even then it is impossible not to go past his version of “Is Anybody Going to San Antone” as one of the greatest songs you have ever heard. The “Hall of Fame “ cd is actually new recordings so not sure how the name came about but the recordings are stunners all. So for all intents “Portrait of a Singer” is Ray’s “Stardust” but he does do a great job on “Bummin’ Around”. The “Hall of Fame” cd opens with a song from the master’s hand (ie Ray himself). “Take back Your Old Love Letters” is a scorcher. The songs are not overly familiar at all and the band is led by Buddy Emmons. A dead set cracker! “Heart of Country Music’ is my favourite Ray Price album and the 20 songs are country standards which is like hearing them for the first time. Absolutely glorious. Price, Ray “Greatest Hits 1/2/3” (Step One) 2CD $50 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. And Step One is no honky little backwoods label. 2cds each 15 tracks. And the Step One band. Ray Price is perhaps the last of the great voices or perhaps that honour belongs to Gene Watson. Wither way there has never been another so smooth. Ray Price “By Request: Greatest Hits Volume 4" Step One $30. The Greatest Hits 1/2/3 were on a double cd whilst this is subtitled "By Request", in other words NOT re- recordings of his hits. Ray Pennington’s “Somewhere in Texas” starts with a solo fiddle doing a slow version of “Faded Love’ and melds into a great Bob Wills’ inspired shuffle. You’ve never heard a version of Floyd Tillman’s “This Cold War With You” as good as this

Pride, Charley “I’m Gonna Love Her on the Radio” RCA $28 This may have been the last Charley Pride album on RCA and this may have only been released on cd in Australia. Don't quote me on that but hard to find any at all on cd.

Prosser, James "Life Goes On" WB $28...the full 10 songs. This is classic country. I had probably 2 at the most copies of the advance cd and one of the lucky purchasers submitted a list of their favourite albums of all time and this was at number one...yep above Randy Travis, Ricky Van Shelton etc. I said you can’t pick that as it was never released...he said “I don’t care!”. I think he may have been right. No picture insert. Just rear insert and cd. Don’t miss it....we will include an insert from one of his singles so this has a picture sleeve,

Pruett, Jeanne Satin Sheets: Greatest Hits $40 (Varese) Very hard to get (if you don’t believe me check online!) Was a protégé of Marty Robbins who knew what a good thing was. Two duets with Marty are included with “walking Piece of heaven” being unreleased. This is very rare.

Randall, Jon Cold Coffee Morning $25 Asylum. The thing that is strange is that JonRandall has had 3 cds released, none of which was within a country mile of this gem which never made it to the street. He had a history as well. As Randy Stewart (full name Jon Randall Stewart) he was a member of Emmylou Harris' Nash Ramblers and was a talented vocalist and instrumentalist and even had a bigger profile in that he was married to Lorrie Morgan. Who wasn't you might say, but the duet on "Knowing You're There" is just great. Nonetheless the creme de la creme of this fine album is "Reno & Me", a great track which had been recorded by , but even Waylon's version was no match for the Jon Randall version. Joined by Willie Nelson, it is not an exaggeration to say it is one of Willie's best ever duets (and boy aren't there a few to choose from!). It gets better. During the chorus they are joined by the angelic Emmylou Harris. Stunningly good. There is no picture insert. Just the cd and rear insert. Only a very few advance copies made it out there. Don’t miss it whatever you do.

Terry Radigan "Pawnbroker's Daughter" CD Vanguard $25 This is cd & rear insert only. This is the album of Terry Radigan that was NOT released. She subsequently had a couple that were released but the big thing is they were not on a par with this. It was a demo if you like (a hint given by her nom-de-plume "Chickynodeal"). She writes some brilliant originals such as the title song and ""1970 #1 Song Cadillac" but also includes some delightful covers includes a feminised "Only Mama That'll " and two great country versions of pop songs; Eric Carmen's "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again" and Lou Christie's "Two Faces Have I". You can probably put that down to Brian Ahern (Emmylou/Rodney Crowell etc) being producer. A great album and a pity it never came out. Look to Brian Ahern’s production and with whom he is worked & you will get an idea how good it is...be guided by that and Grasshopper your reward will be one of the best cds of that folksy singer songwriter country genre as so typified by Emmylou and .

Reeves, Del Silver Anniversary Album $25 Now you are probably not gonna believe me when I tell you how good this is and the opening track is Achy Breaky Heart. Well he takes the mickey out of it nicely as he imitates Roy Acuff, Johnny Cash & Walter Brennan doing it. That is the only novelty and he is very good all round. Stunning is “I’m Really Gone’ which was also done by Charlie Sizemore. On the defunct Playback label.

Robbins, Marty “Lost & Found” CBS $30 This was complied by Marty’s son, Ronny Robbins and released 10 years after the great singers vastly premature death. The 11 songs are all previously unreleased and dated from 1972 to just a few months before Marty’s death. Of the 11 songs, 8 were written by Marty.

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.

Ryle, Curt Life Time Guarantee $35 What can you say but Curt is a true indie artist, amazing talent, superb writer and singer but with the dress sense God gave a goat. But it is not that latter thing which matters& on the former he delivers. He wrote the superb “Mirrors Don’t Lie” &his own version loses nothing in comparison to that Gene Watson. Curt wrote 9 of the 11on this gem. And he has a superb style...that is vocal not dress, which he can certainly not lay claim to!! Well it seems that flairs are making a comeback but satin shirts may have to wait. One thing that won’t go out of style is the brilliant music on this classic.

Schneider, John “Take the Long Way Home” MCA $35 Despite a some what goofy persona due his role in Dukes of Hazard, Schneider had a wonderful deep voice which was a natural for country music. All are superbly produced by Jimmy Bowen. A wonderful highlight is, “Better Class of Losers”, not to be confused with the Alan Jackson track of the name. This is the Harlan Howard track which features none other than Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash. BUT believe it or not, even better is “The Auction”...they’re auctioning daddy’s farm today. Hell it is hard to believe how good, and in view of the diabolical financial system in the US today it is still extremely relevant. Schneider, John “Too Good to Stop Now/ Tryin’ to Outrun the Wind” MCA 2on1 $35 For a while MCA released a lot of its albums as 2on1 reissues. This was the case with John’s first two MCA albums on a single cd. Both produced by Jimmy Bowen and whilst the previous is his best there is not much difference. He had some chart success but it is the songs that didn’t get single release that shine the most “Low Class Reunion” (by the delightfully named Sterling Whipple) may be the best. “Leaving’s Been Coming for a Long Long Time” was also recorded by George Strait on his best album “Beyond the Blue Neon” and I am not going to suggest one is better but John Schneider’s version is remarkably unadorned and a fabulous contrast.

Sanford, Arnold "That's Why I Sing This Way" CD Classic country indie cd $55. What is an indie? An indie (or independent) release when we speak about it is a small label with not many releases on it free of backing from major labels. As far as the rest go labels such as Rounder, Sugar Hill etc may be considered independents for the masses but not for us. The TRUE indies we deal with may only have the album we are selling on the label and usually only a small number of releases. The artists may not be svelte Nashville types but they are authentic and great....the type Jones or Haggard fans love. Many rate this the best indie ever and they are certainly on the right track. The first 10 songs are from the great Max D Barnes, including the title cut which was also recorded by Daryle Singletary and as good as it was it was no match for Arnold’s original version. 12 tks in all. Simply stunning crying in your beer album. Hell…it is probably the best ever. “Not Enough Jack Daniels in This World” has you believing Arnold truly lived the life he sings about and sadly he has passed on so this stand alone cd is it, unless a miracle happens.

Smith,Sammi Here Comes That Rainbow Again $30 Rare independent album on the Playback label. The title track is of course a track. Now, let me see… Sammi had a bit of success with Kristofferson songs, didn’t she?? You will need help to make it through the night if you don’t know the answer to that one!! She was married to Willie’s guitarist Jody Payne and their son is Waylon Payne. One of the best of the outlaw females.

Sweet, Ron "Ten in Tennesse" CD Classic country indie cd $50 Ron has sadly passed on...in 2005 in fact. He was a superb country singer who fronted Johnny Paycheck's band. Paycheck would have been one of few who could hold a candle to Ron. A wonderful indie with the highlight the wonderful ode to the great man “I Play Haggard” in which he uses snippets of Haggard songs to tell the story. He outdoes even Vern Gosdin on his version “Baby That’s Cold” and then shows himself a man for all seasons with the rollicking “Ten in Tennessee”. A member of our Indie Hall of Fame. Ron’s lone album is full of honky tonk gems of the highest order. 10 tracks ranking with the best Norman Wade, Vernon Oxford, Johnny Paycheck or whoever you would like to mention. “I Play Haggard” is the equal of any track recorded in our favourite sub-genre.

Taylor, Chip Chip Taylor’s Last Chance WB reissued $40 Long out of print cd version of his classic album whichfeatures “I Read it in the ” plusthe great “101 in Cashbox” which combines the story of his own version of “Angel of the Morning” along with the tale of a racehorse. Wesley Voigt, brother of actor Jon and uncle of Ms Jolie, records under the name of chip Taylor. This is a stunning album long out of print on cd. Hard to separate the tracks but best is probably “101 is Cashbox” which tells of Chip’s own version of “Angel of the Morning”, a song which of course was a huge hit for Merrilee Rush (and the Turnabouts). It was written by Chip and let’s say his own version didn’t quite set the charts alight. A sensational album, I won’t spoil it by telling you more but just make sure you get it..

Thompson, JW "Songs for Real People" (Phono label) $40 Classic country indie cd. Ultra Rare indie gem. 16 tracks and it is harder to find a better track anywhere than “Jesus Loves Cowboys”. Also shines on a couple of superb narrations. One of these is “The Visitor”, about the ghost of Bob Wills...”tell us where did you come from...do you come from the coast or the hills...he said son I came from a long way away but in Texas they call me Bob Wills”. Believe it or not that made the Billboard charts.In 1979 it was on there for 2 weeks and made it to number 90. Not exactly set the world on fire but I always contend the best things have to be sought. “It’s not a honky tonk you’re in its just a house of fools” ...lines from “House of Fools” well I will be the first to grab the jester’s garb. He bounces along brilliantly on “Two Out of Three Ain’t bad”. It sounds like something Hank Thompson would have recorded without changing a single thing. Back to the narrations “Christmas Dolly” is almost Ferlin Husky like in its intensity. You have to love it. Like his compatriots Sweet & Sanford, Jaydubya has left us. This is a wonderful legacy.

Thornton, Marsha "Marsha Thornton" (MCA) $30 1990 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. Three Max D Barnes songs are beautifully handled especially grand is “Don’t Tell me What to Do”. Again a case of record companies inability to recognise greatness.

Trevino, Justin “Texas Honky Tonk” Neon Nightmare label $55 This was Justin’s debut album and what a gem it was and is. I can recall when it came out. I called him up and bought a box which he sent out straight away before my payment had been delivered to him. I always loved Justin from the moment I heard him. I inadvertently called him Jason and apologised ..”Don’t worry Steve Don Walser calls be Jason all the time...he says Jason...I say to him that’s Justin Don and he says ...what did you say Jason”. He toured here on a very poorly arranged tour and the shows were not well attended. Those that went saw a man with ten times the talent of the best Nashville has to offer. You will NOT find this album. Even worth including Country Standard Times original review: ” Justin Trevino is only 24, but he's a master at a musical style that, for most of the country, faded from glory long ago. It never went away in Texas, of course, but if it's ever going to be revived nationally it's youngsters like Trevino who'll have to lead the charge. And he could be just the man to do it. This album is pure, old-fashioned, . Only 4 of the 14 songs are originals, but it's a definite compliment to say that they're basically indistinguishable from the old songs Trevino does. Texas legend Johnny Bush is along for two duets, and musical backing comes from members of Don Walser's and Cornell Hurd's bands. But the unquestioned star of this show is Trevino's voice. It's a glorious instrument that can soar like Marty Robbins' at one instant, and remind of the great Wynn Stewart at another. In his phrasing, Trevino evokes past Texas greats like Johnny Rodriguez and Freddy Fender. The other newer singers who are doing this style of music simply can not match Trevino's voice - and he is so young he's likely still improving.”

Turner, Robby “Man of Steel” $40. Indie album from the great steel guitar player (with both Waylon&the Highwaymen) sees him enlist some wonderful vocalists including Waylon on “Women from Memphis”, Jessi Colter on a new version of her hit “I’m Not Lisa” but the unqualified highlight is Johnny Cash version of “Steel Guitar Rag”. I don’t know what he was on but whatever he has the greatest fun he ever had recording. And then some. Fabulous....rare Waylon, rare Cash and some of the best steel playing you will hear.

Wade, Norman “Tennessee Eyes” $55 1993’s Album of the Year was the first cd for Norm...you would imagine though he would be universally referred to as “Norman”. This gem was on the Bob Grady label & was superbly produced by Bob & Mike Headrick. There may not be another honky tonk album like this. “They’re All Over Nashville” tells the stunning true story of those who don’t quite make it the way they would want. First time I ever went to Nashville my travelling companion and I were in Ernest Tubb Record Shop talking to the owner, David McCormack, when a lady burst through the door. “Sir” she said worriedly (a southern lady no doubt)..”a man has done passed out in your alley”. David explained that he played and sang for tips and then unfortunately turned the proceeds into alcohol, hence the unfortunate sight she was witnessing. With a nod of his head he said so earnestly “They’re all over Nashville”. You could have knocked me down with a feather. All bar one of the 11 songs are by Norman...the “Norm”less Norman, with the 11th by Bob Grady himself. This is as good as hard core country music gets. I feel as though sale of this needs to be vetted. It is that darn good.

Wade, Norman For a Minute There $35. Crossing the line between Jones & Hank is this indie champ for the ages. When he sings “I’ve Got Hank to Thank” you know he isn’t lying. A 1997 out of print gem for this vastly under recorded artist. That is an understatement. Only 3 Norman songs “La Louisian’” is somewhat Cajun influenced. “Crying at 3 am” is pure country as is “I Still Need Her”. Seemingly recorded over a period of years it is still a gem

Wall, Chris, $40 His debut. Includes his original version of “Trashy Women”…I like his usage of the word “tad”….as in “I like my women just a tad on the trashy side”. Best track though is the fabulous “He Lives My Dream”. Liner notes are by Jerry Jeff Walker who had success recording several Chis Wall songs.

Watson, Gene Back in the Fire $50 Let’s be analytical for a second or two. The great country vocalists have been hit hard in recent years with the passing of Vern Gosdin, George Jones and Ray Price. That is not even mentioning Waylon & Johnny Cash. Well for mine that leaves Gene Watson as the king. His voice is as good now as it ever was. But, great singer as he is & no correspondence will be entered into on that fact, this is his best album, a Warners album from 1989 with the best version ever of “Dreams of a Dreamer”, which was also done by Darrell McCall so there is plenty competition plus arguably Gene’s best ever ballad “The Great Divide”,co-wriiten by but never recorded by Randy Travis. As an aside Randy’s own songs have been top drawer. BUT I will say this emphatically there is not one Gene Watson album which should not be in every collection and furthermore on the top shelf of that collection. I would compare this favourably to my favourite ever country cd Vern Gosdin’s “Chiselled in Stone”. It is similar in that they are both by great stylists at the height of their glory. Secondly they are eclectic in style. For this Watson album chuck in a bit of swing on “It Ain’t No Fun to be Alone in San Antone”. And Gene looks so cool in his long black coat on the cover.

Watson, Gene In Other Words $45. This was a hard to get (even at the time) cd on the Broadland label. All 10 songs are on this album only and include “Old Porch Swing”, “Class Reunion” (also done by Oak Ridge Boys & John Conlee) and the rather upbeat “She’s no Lady”. Backing musicians include Pig Robbins on piano and Buddy Emmons on steel. The Mercury label logo shows on the package and it seems it may have only been released in Canada.

Watson, Gene “Honky Tonk Crazy” (Epic) $70 This is beyond rare. I had only ever seen one copy and that was at an Austin Record Fair where a rather sleepy looking fellow had one for US$80. I said “Chum that is a might pricey being it has a cracked case & all”. Hinting I might have been interested didn’t really spur our laid back friend on at all and I think I made out something like “that is cheap”. To be honest I think it may have been. This came out in 1987 and as I have said elsewhere a lot of titles that were only released early in the cd age have become incredibly rare. Sandwiched between two Harlan Howard songs are some wonderful Gene Watson highlights. And do some research, this is cheap!! It is just nowhere except here.

Watson, Gene “A Way to Survive” $30 Step One Records The brilliant stylist..may have been the last for Step One, one of the great indie labels. Brilliant play of words on “All Hat No Cattle”. Has a different version of “Old Porch Swing” to that of the preceding album”.

Watson, Gene “Unchartered Mind” $30 Step One gem, which includes Gene’s version of the Curt Ryle gem “Mirrors Don’t Lie” and if you don’t think Gene is one of the greatest ever country vocalists you will change your mind when you hear his version of “You Gave Me a Mountain”. Wow!! Go to the delightful swing of “He’s Back in Texas Again”.

Watson, Gene “The Good Old Days” $30 Step One with a superb selection excellently produced by Ray Pennington who also contributed 4 Songs including the title song...actually “the Good Old Days are Right Now” . There is also a re-recording of one of his best Capitol hits, “Love in the Hot Afternoon”. Watson is one of the few artists I know who could improve on an original well know version. Like all Step One releases this is out of print.

Whitley, Keith “I Wonder Do You Think of Me” (RCA) $35 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 Randy Travis 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. Could it be Lorrie to whom he sings “Don’t flatter yourself...I’m over you”. It is sad that “Tennesee Courage’ is so damn relevant.

Whitley, Keith Tribute $28 A gem put out by his label 5 or so years after he so tragically died. BUT for the Whitley fans it is not just other artists interpreting Whitley (all quite superbly I may add, especially Alan Jackson, and Mark Chesnutt) but also includes 4 great previously unissued Whitley songs including a superb duet with Lorrie Morgan on “I Just Want You”…..a must. Other Whitley tracks are “Charlotte’s in North Carolina” (a great play on words), “I’m Gonna Hurt Her on the Radio” and “The Comeback Kid” ....sadly not to be.

Whitley, Keith “Kentucky Bluebird” $25 15 tracks mostly not on his other albums. Augmented with some historical and rare clips. “Somebody’s Doing Me Right” is up there with the best Keith Whitley as is the Cochran/Gosdin song “Would These Arms Be in Your Way”. Answer no!!

Williams, Don “I Believe in You/ Especially for You” MCA $45 Two albums from 1980 & 81 that are not available separately or in any way shape or form apart from this long out of print 2on1. Trust me this will go quickly.

Wynette, Tammy “Next to You” (Epic) $35 This is great. Maybe Tammy’s last great album and she is in fine form and the material is first class. “The Note” has been done by many with perhaps having the best version. Well I am telling you you may wish to reconsider. Similarly Tammy’s rather jaunty version of the classic “I’m So afraid of Losing You Again” is fabulous.”Thank the Cowboy for the Ride” from is a wonderful tale. “We Called It Everything But Quits” is another great song where the jaunty delivery is not what you’d expect but it works so well. The obligatory big ballad “Liar’s Roses” closes this great production.

Various Heart of Texas Country $35 This was a 1998 cd on Justin Trevino’s Neon Nightmare label which was a precursor of the wonderful label of the same name. Tracy Pitcox (Traci is a guy) was a dj and did the notes for this, He later adapted the name for his Heart of Texas label, now the home for Justin Trevino and Amber Digby and everyone else we love here at Y & T. This has 21 tracks only on this album. Includes Ron Williams “Truckloads & Trainloads”. One of the best indie vocalists ever. Also one of last songs ever from the great Justin Tubb after whom Justin Trevino was named. 21 songs most exceedingly rare including contributions from songwriters Dave Kirby and Tony Douglas and Lawton Williams.

Growin’ Up Too Fast The Girl Group Anthology (Mercury) 2cds 32 pg book 50 tks $30 Any compilation which has Diane Renay “Navy Blue” and Diane Ray “Please Don’t Talk to the Lifeguard” on it is essential!! Yeah...I know it isn’t country but I don’t care.

Next of Kin Soundtrack $45 The Swedish Cowboy favourite songs list appeared in a newsletter a few years ago now & as you may expect there were some George Jones songs in it. Funny thing is the second best George Jones song in his exclusive list was “Pyramid of Cans” ONLY on this cd. What a drinking song it is…”I drink from cans & stack ‘…in a pyramid so high as a monument to how I feel since she told me goodbye”. Sheer poetry. And you can visualise the fun George was having recording this. The rest is great too with Ricky Van Shelton shining on the ballad “Hillbilly Heart” & the Sweethearts of the Rodeo wonderful on the rockabilly “Paralysed”. But George…how great and again I bow to the Swedish Cowboy’s good taste. Not quite as good as my own but not bad just the same. Certainly the rarity of this soundtrack can be put down to buyers discovering its brilliance.

Something Got a Hold On Me: Treasury of Sacred Music(RCA)$30 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.

They used to go get drunk…they used to chase women etc. They just don’t do it now. Anti honky tonk. A select but wonderful area of country music. Like George Jones in reverse. Great voices and songs from a “used to” perspective. Fabulous. You won’t find anti honky tonk category anywhere else.

Waylon couldn’t stand to do a concert...I mean he liked doing them...loved doing them but the advanced onset of diabetes meant he had to sit. That apart the performance is as strong as ever. The concert goes around 100 minutes plus extras (30 minutes). Waylon’s voice showed no weakness whatsoever. Filmed at the Ryman ths show features some great guests....John Anderson, Travis Tritt, (excellent on “Ramblin’ Man”) plus of course Jessi Colter. By gum!!

It was about his last Epic label. Now, this is an original pressing because the great novelty “Yabba Dabba Do” is called that...the label had to change it to ‘The King Is Gone” due Hanna Barbera copyright issue. Now, you also know I reckon George has done TOO many novelties but that doesn’t count when they are as good as this. A drunk (now George had done plenty of research on the subject) adapts a jelly bean jar in the shape of Fred Flintstone to down the contents of a Jim Beam decanter in the shape of Elvis...hence the punch line “Yabba Dabba Doo...the King is gone and so are you”. BUT the unqualified gem (apart from this!) is “Place in the Country”...George soars like never before...”he always wanted a place out in the country”. A female voice soars in the background.....is it perhaps Aniat Carter???It is only on this cd....by the way the stunning rural setting comes as the guy’s grave site....brilliant.

This is fabulous. Original Review: This is his first country album and a gem. 18 tracks and that rascal from Warren reckons it could be album of the year before the 2nd track had finished. For starters there are 3 excellent steel guitarists in Buddy Emmons, John Hughey (one of his last ever sessions) and Paul Franklin. Peterson has a traditional voice but the production reminds of Vince Gill’s classic “The Key” if that had been made in the 60s; modern but with a liberal nod to the classic Nashville sound. The title cut was from Little David Wilkins, who I guess would have fitted in shape wise with Mr Peterson. “Come Back to Me” is an emotional ballad in which his voice is heard at its expressive best. 18 tracks of mainly well chosen covers but he concludes with is own “Neck Ties”. Not to be missed. Superb. Yep, I said it well didn’t I? Petty Booka Fujiyama Mama (Seven Gods) $20 what could be better than 2 Fujiyama mamas putting an album out called “Fujiyama Mama”. Frankly...not much at all. Has a country side and a bluegrass side.

Songs of the Year Only sold at the Crackerbarrel chain of stores and I can only say the proof of the greatness is in the listening. Why would you want to hear anyone apart from Vern Gosdin doing “Chiseled in Stone”? Well, Randy Travis changes all that. George Jones teaming with Dierks Bentley delivers a great version of “Murder on Music Row” and Trace Adkins knockout vocal on “Sunday Morning Coming Down” reminds us what a killer vocalist he is. Even the ultimate lightweights rise above their station. is superb on Vince Gill’s “When I Call Your Name” and Blake Shelton’s “The Gambler” $20 don’t miss it Stone Country Country Artists Perform the Songs of the Rollin Stones (beyond) $15 Now who likes youtube?? You’d have to be nuts not to. Look up Rolling Stones “Bob Wills Is still the King”. How good is it?? This is filled with good performances but the song choice could be better. Still I ain’t gonan complain. “Honky tonk Women” is superbly handled by Travis Tritt and Deana Carter outdoes Melanie on “Ruby Tuesday” but I love Sammy Kershaw and the way he wrings out “Angie”...aaaaanhgiieeee he says..or something similar. Sweet Dreams Soundtrack $15 Patsy Cline story of course. Ehat they did, under the auspices of Owen Bradley was record new backings. Heresy? Well it actually works well when the new backings are by the likes of Grady Martin, Floyd Cramer, Pig Robbins etc. Texas Fed Texas Bred Redefining Country Music (Dualtone) $15 Texans doing classic songs ot necessarily by Texans. Rodney Crowell “Ballad of a Teenage Queen”, Guy Clark “Good Hearted Woman”, Willie doing “You Are My Flower”, Jumior Brown “Nashville Rebel”, the great Rev Horton Heat “Get Rhythm” etc Texas Fed Texas Bred Volume 2 (Dualtone) $15 Thanks a Lot Texas Troubadour: Tribute to Ernest Tubb (Heart of Texas) sealed $20 Tony Booth, George Jones etc That’ll Flat Git It Volume 2 Decca $20 That’ll Flat Git It Volume 6 Decca $20 That’ll Flat Git It Volume 7 MGM $20 That’ll Flat Git It Volume 23 Columbia $20 That’ll Flat Git It Volume 25 Columbia$20 Bear Family’s fabulous rockabilly series. Each 30 tracks superb sound Touch My Heart A Tribute to Johnny Paycheck $18 Apart from having some of our very favourite artists handing in stella performaces eg Dallas Wayne on the melodramatic "I Did the Right Thing", Hank III on the rustic "I'm the Only Hell My Mama Ever Raised" and a spritely George Jones on "She's All I Got", there are some real surprises with artists we would normally ignore holding their own in such company. Such an example is the previously pretentious Neko Case who hands in a real fire cracker performance of Heather Myles proportion on "If I'm Gonna Sink (It might as well be to the Bottom)". Jnr, who has been following some sort of alternate non descript path does an excellent jazzy version of "Motel Time Again". Just about everything is grand. Gail Davies and Robbie Fulks is a match made in heaven on "Shakin' the Blues", Marshall Crenshaw should be on every tribute album whilst the likes of Jim Lauderdale, Billy Yates and Dave Alvin deliver the goods and then some. Terrific stuff. Don't miss it. Town South Of Bakersfield 1 & 2 ((Enigma) The Town South of Bakersfield is Los Angeles where there was always an excellent countr yscene centred around the Palomino Club. These artists al lgot their starts there. Although many are well known these tracks are not on any of their albums. Artists include Lucinda, Rosie Flores, Katy Moffatt, Jim Lauderdale, (diff. version of "Louisville"). A must. I really like Re Winkler (pronounced RAY Winkler!!) doing a great Wilburn Brothers (with Ernest Tubb) song “Mister Love”. Sensational $22 hard to get 20 tracks Tribute to Woody Guthrie 2on1 Not country but so good. 3 Dylan tracks are among best he ever did $15 WB Tulare Dust a Songwriters’ Tribute to Merle Haggard (Hightone) $20 great Hightone label release is everything tribute albums should be and more. It firstly has a perfect array of singer- songwriters who themselves know how to interpret plus it doesn’t have the songs very one knows. Tom Russell/Iris Dement/Dwight/ Billy Joe Shaver/ Joe Ely/ Rosie Flores/ Dave Alvin/ Katy Moffatt. 15 tracks. Wanted The Outlaws!! Waylon, Willie, Jessi & Tompall (RCA) $15 Expanded Version The great thing about the reissue is that Chet Flippo writes new notes for the 1996 upgrade and they also include his notes for the original 1976 album too. The biggest selling country compilation of all time Whistle Stop 25 Rockabilly Rave Ups ((Columbia) $15 Wild West Soundtrack from TV Series (Varese) take my word this John McEuen produced album is a gem. $15

**Dick Curless “Hard Hard Travelling Man” 4 cd + 52 page book $100 One of the greatest ever live country albums , Dick Curless live at Wheeling Truck Driver’s Jamboree with Curly Chaulker on steel. Has the famous moment where Dick crack’s up at Curly’s great playing. Some great unreleased recordings.

**Kingston Trio “The Guard Years: 10 CD + 108 page hard cover book $220 The early trio with Dave Guard as the leader. Most of their formative and best work including “Tom Dooley”. Great.

Stunning

Some Slight damage *Little Jimmie Dickens “Country Boy” 4cd + 64 page book. This is out of print. Content is superb. 64 page book + 4cds Box is okay. Scuff s and remnants of driver’s licence number. These are written with permanent marker. It can be partially removed with methylated spirits but sometimes not entirely. As stated very rare $90 (would be $60 more if box mint...as it is it is okay). *Slim Whitman “Rose Marie” 6 CD + 48 page book. Some very minor marks on the box...well so I have noted but darned if I can see where??!! $80

Incomplete but extraordinarily cheap *Jimmie Rodgers “The Singing Brakeman” cds 1/2/4/5/6 only no cd #3 the outer box and 60s page book are both included but okay only. $40... yep quite a deal

Others Roger Miller "King of the Road: The Genius Of Roger Miller" 3CD Box+ 40 pg book Mercury 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

Waylon Jennings "Nashville Rebel" 4CD + 140 page book Legacy 89640 Great embossed box designed to resemble Waylon's unique leather covered guitar. Wonderful presentation with embossed leather look cover (resembles Waylon’s guitar). Has massive 140 page book which is simply grand. 92 tracks which give a fabulous representation of his career. As new and long out of print. Just superb.

Ray Charles "Complete Country & Western Recordings 1959-1986" Rhino 4CD + 60 page hard bound book. It is superbly presented. 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 Eddy Arnold 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.

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.

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. Late New: legendary producer has just passed on.

Dwight Yoakam "Reprise Please Baby: The Warner Bros. Years" 4CD + 52pg book Rhino 76100. Has a swag of of previously unreleased tracks including the entire 21 on disc 4. In my mind there is no question Dwight’s original Reprise recordings with Pete Anderson are his best. 87 tracks all up. Don’t be disappointed..the only one.

Haggard, Merle “Down Every Road” 4cds + 76 page book. $55 If you had no Merle Haggard and wanted just one thing then this is it. What a great set. 104 tracks and it spans all the labels he recorded for. If you don’t have any Merle this would be the one to get. Large mainly full colour booklet is spectacular. One of the best major label boxes which covers his tenure on all labels and still manages to include 5 previously unreleased tracks.

Reno & Smiley “Collectors Box set King Recordings” $45 4 cds 24 page book 115 tracks. Sticker on cover, otherwise great shape

Strait, George Strait Out of the Box MCA 4cds $48 Easily his best years from 1981 to 1995. Includes pre MCA singles plus rare tracks such as his duet with Hank Thompson “Six Pack to Go” & “Fly Me to the Moon” an unreleased duet with Frank Sinatra. 72 tracks plus large book. Over 3 ½ hours.

Cline, Patsy “Patsy Cline Collection” 4cds + 64 page book. All in the 12 inch long style box. An absolutely essential box brought out by MCA and the Country Music Foundation. Someone once said if you lined up ever female singer Patsy would be singing lead and the rest could consider themselves lucky to be singing in the chorus...yep...could be right. $40 One of the best box sets ever. The sound is superb. 104 tracks, essentially all she recorded. This is out of print.

Bob Wills "Encore" 3 CD box + 40page book $40 All Music Guide is a little incorrect in many of the things it says & really doesn't give it the credit it deserves. Firstly this saw Bob united for first time in 12 or so years with the great Tommy Duncan, the best vocalist to front the Texas Playboys. Secondly if Tommy is not doing the vocals it is likely the excellent Leon Rausch.Thirdly the recording is high fidelity & unlike a lot of the horrid Kapp stuff which had preceded this the Texas Playboys actually play. I would rate this a great package.

George Burns "A Century of George Burns" 4CD + 24 pg book songs & comedy $30 George made some country lps for Mercury which were quite good. 30 tracks on the first cd...including “Willie Won’t You Sing a Song With Me” and “I Wish I Was Eighteen Again” Of course prior to being the gruff voiced actor of his later years George was the straight man to Gracie Allen one of the ditziest of them all. The last 2 cds are comedy some with Gracie. The box is in top shape and is designed to resemble a cigar box.

Story of Chris Stractwiz And Arhoolie Records (Arhoolie) 2cds in longbox. Of course includes a lot more than country 32 page book.$22 38 tracks

Waylon Jennings “Only Daddy That’ll Walk the Line” 2CD + 20 page book 40 tracks. A great basic Waylon $20

Hank Williams “The Unreleased Recordings” Time Life 3CD sealed $35 The first edition of the Mothers Best Flour Shows.

Other Genres Billie Holiday "Lady Day: Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia 1933-1944" 10CD + large 166 page book $100. Beautiful faux snake skin leather cover. CDs housed in individual sleeves... Like the Verve box set was a lay down Grammy winner as best historical recording. Stunning beyond belief. Superb beyond description.

Billie Holiday "The Complete Billie Holiday on Verve 1945-1959" 10CD + 220p book$100 This came in two forms. This is the superior one. Cloth bound box with two bound book style inserts...also cloth bound, one containing the book and the other the 10 CDSs Verve 513859. (The other arrangement was jewel cases and a regular style book...much less attractive)

Monty Python "Monty Python's Total Rubbish The Complete Collection" 9CD+7"$100 •Deluxe 9-CD box set all re-mastered from the original ¼” master tapes, plus seven inch single of their 1974 flexi-disc ‘Monty Python’s Tiny Black Round Thing’ •Case bound book with new liner notes and foreword by Michael Palin •Original Monty Python artwork and archive photos •Housed in an original Terry Gilliam-designed full colour slipcase.

Bobby Darin "As Long As I'm Singin': the Bobby Darin Collection" Rhino 4CD box$60- A four-CD box set spanning several styles, labels, and eras, this will stand as the most thorough retrospective of Darin's eclectic career, though not necessarily the best. There's a lot of material here -- 96 songs, including not only the hits, but obscure flops, B-sides, album cuts, and 11 previously unreleased tracks. like new and out of print. 4cd + 64 page book. There are 96 tracks including some unissued. Cd#1 is the Rock & Roll Years. Cds #2 & #3 are the Pop Years whilst cd #4 is the Folk and Country Years (don’t forget he had a hit with “If I Were a Carpenter”). Tragically he died young. AND he was married to Sandra Dee...a top sort...maybe that is why he died young?

Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" 4CD + 2 booklets cloth bound box Capitol $45 The Pet Sounds Sessions, a four-disc box that presents an abundance of working mixes, alternate takes, instrumental tracks, and rarities, as well as the first true stereo mix of the album. 90 tracks all up plus 2 books, one 36 pages and one a massive 128 page. Very attractive cloth bound green long box. Like new.

Beach Boys "Good Vibrations: 30 Years Of Beach Boys" 5CD box BMG edition Capitol + book $45 The 5th cd is all unrelased material and there are a significant number of unreleased tracks on all the other discs. NEW & SEALED $50You will not find one.

Rod Stewart "The Rod Stewart Sessions" 4CD box + 48 page book $45 Great set with CD1&2 being just fabulous. 63 tracks.

Washington Square Memoirs: The Great Urban Folk Dream 1950-1970 3CD Rhino 74264 $50 This impressive three-CD, 72-song set is the best compilation of music from the folk revival of the 1950s and 1960s. The package is enhanced by lengthy liner notes, including extensive comments by Elektra Records founder Jac Holzman.

Bob Dylan "Bootleg Series 1-3 Rare & Unreleased 1961-1991" 3CD + 72 page book Columbia Legacy $48 Note: This now reconfigured...it now comes in a crappy jewel case with truncated book. This is the full size real deal. Don't be fooled. This is the original LONG BOX with full size book. Has been issued in jewel case but this out of print one is the most desirable with its iconic shaded Dylan photo on the cover. Includes a lot of his best protest work such as “Who Killed Davey Moore”, the tragic true story of a boxer who died in the ring and no one was willing to accept any responsibility. It also includes Bob versions of much covered songs such as “Percy’s Song” , “Only a Hobo” (done so delightfully by Rod Stewart on “Gasoline Alley”) and “Talking John Birch Society Blues” which was too controversial for his record company at the time.

Tom Lehrer "The Remains of Tom Lehrer" Rhino 3 CD box + bound 80pg book RHI 79831 $55 Rhino's three-disc box set The Remains of Tom Lehrer presents 75 tracks from the satirist's four decade career. Song-by-song notes by Lehrer, rare photos, and an essay by Dr. Demento add an extra depth to The Remains of Tom Lehrer making it the ultimate collection of his irreverent social commentary. 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
