April 2012 Newsletter ------Yesterday & Today Records P.O.Box 54 Miranda NSW 2228 Phone: (02) 95311710 Email:[email protected] www.yesterdayandtoday.com.au ------Postage Australia post has recently upped its prices (again!). Whilst the service is reliable it basically gives us possibly the world’s most expensive service. We aim to break even on postage and will use the best method to minimise costs. One good innovation is the introduction of the “POST PLUS” satchels, which replace the old red satchels and include a tracking number. Available in 3 sizes they are 500 grams ($7.20) 3kgs ($11.40) 5kgs ($14.50). The latter 2 are perfect for larger interstate packages as anything over 500 grams even is going to cost more than $11.40. We can take a cd out of a case to reduce costs. Basically 1 cd still $2. 2cds $3 and rest as they will fit. ------If you are receiving our newsletter for the first time it may be a bit mind boggling. For starters you won’t see any of the major label Nashville cds promoted here. If you want any most will be listed in the $10 section and $5 section. We offer almost an alternate universe, where everything is great and most importantly can still be accurately referred to as country music.

In addition to our newsletters we have 6 or so walk in sales per year. The next one will be Saturday 26th May. This is usually the best as well, especially weather wise. It is by invitation so if you would like to come...believe me it is worthwhile...then please let me know. There will be lots of new stuff and some incredible bargains. Don’t miss out. There are several big buys happening between this newsletter & then.

Enjoy the newsletter and please note we have several great offers. $5 cds...mix and match from anywhere in newsletter...buy 2 get 1 free ie 3 for $10 $10 cds...mix and match from anywhere in newsletter...buy 2 get 1 free ie 3 for $20 $15 cds are 3 for $40 ------Book of Lists I started this last year and invited lists from people of their favourite albums. Space constraints meant I ahd to curtail it for a while but everyone seemed to like it so will start again. One I had held over was from Dave od Glen Innes and it is appropriate to include here as one of the cds he selected was actually one I have bee nlucky enough to obtain a copy of...in the rarities...it is James Prosser and here is Dave’s lists. He was one of possibly 3 people lucky to score an advance of that album.

So I invite your lists. It doesn’t have to be best of....worst ....anything will do provided it is G rated.Thanks in anticipation and thanks to Dave. Mark Chesnutt is certainly or was certainly one of the most consistent performers in the early 90s & “Too Coldat Home” is mighty fine.

First newsletter of 2012 is always the one we pick our best of the previous year and for probably the second or third time in our history I have a tie. Equal are the wonderful albums by Bob Manning & W C Edgar. For the benefit of new readers I will include a reprise of their reviews:

1. Bob Manning & the Honky Tonk Road Show “Just What I Wanted” $28 This seriously reminds me of Merle Haggard, but a Merle Haggard of the MCA & early Epic period where he wrote & sung some of the best reflective songs he ever did, but songs which may not have had the immediacy of some of his work but ultimately proved to be some of the best things he ever did. Two in particular come to mind in “Footlights” and “What Am I Gonna Do With the Rest of My Life”.Bob Manning has a similar nuance. “Look Away My Darlin’ ” is about a man facing the gallows...figuratively or literally I am not sure....but he is repentant“Tell our boy the wage of sin lies in the ground” Fabulous song. “Linger Longer Lounge” is a barroom mid tempo weepy...the happy hour isn’t happy at the linger longer lounge....”they tell of loves that’s lost, why cheater’s cheat, the lives that’s come undone”.....”the happy hour’s a little different at the linger longer lounge”. Love it!! “Sally’s Antique Store” sees our hero visit to see his little corner of Sally’s Antique Store where all the products of his broken relationship are to found. Okay, it may not be a happy album, but then again the best country music isn’t. What I like about this are the instrumental subtleties. The steel playing of Doug Jones is really admirable. Incidentally Bob is married to Kimberly Murray, well in line for album of the year....maybe they can wrestle off for it. Don’t forget the Kleenex. 1.W C Edgar “Old School Survivor” $28 Great second album which is right up there with his wonderful debut, ‘Alcohol of Fame’. All songs are by W C and he has very traditional values. “Old School Survivor” is an anti-Nashville rant which is right up there with some of the best of our hero Dale Watson. (I do wonder when someone is going to do an anti-Nashville song called “Shooting Fish in a Barrel!). You have to admire WC’s dedication…”Old School Survivor” is dedicated to “Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney, Corporate Radio and everyone else that’s really screwed up Real Country Music as we know it.” W C’s voice reminds me of Marty Haggard, which is a compliment. It is that characteristic drop a la Lefty at the end of the line which is something to give goosebumps. He tackles the themes of honky tonk music as good as anyone out there and also does a top rodeo song, appropriately called “Rodeo Game”, about the special breed of“hombre” who competes. “Dallas” is a real tear jerker, a great play on words about the custody of his son. The Cosmic Cowboy, sentimental old fluff that he is has even rated it up there with the David Oxford classic “Don’t Tell the Babies”, the highest accolade you can get. All I can say it God Bless W C Edgar!! 3.Gene Roberts “Shuffle Back to Me” $28 all songs by Chuck Cusimano. His new album reviewed below. 4.Roy Sludge “Too Drunk to Truck” $28 Old style Dave Dudley voice, and great songs. Junior Brown fans should also lap this up. 5. Kimberley Murray “Another Day of Lonely” $28 Recently married the above Bob Manning. A full duet album would be a knockout....low & behold...due end of month is “For One Night Only” Bob Manning & Kimberley Murray. ORDER NOW...will be send immediately available.

I will also include the Swedish Cowboy’s Top 15. For the unitiated, the Swedish Cowboy favours the shuffle over the ballad, generally more than one ballad is too many....but he has great taste. 1. Justin Trevino: Two Of The Usual 2. Kimberley Murray: Another Day Of Lonel 3. Gena Roberts: Shuffle Back To Me 4. Bobby Flores: Fast Company 5. Jody Nix: Bright Lights & Country Music 6. Roy Sludge: Too Drunk To Truck 7. Johnny Bush: Who’ll Buy My Memories 8. Jake Hooker: One Man World 9. Gene Watson & Rhonda Vincent: Your Money And My Good Looks 10. Dale Watson & The Texas Two: The Sun Sessions 11. Connie Smith: Long Line of Heartaches 12. Amber Digby & The Midnight Flyer: Live at Swiss Alp Hall 13. Billy Yates: Just Be You 14. Anthony Wilson: My Friend The Jukebox 15. Chuck Cusimano: I Wrote This (have called this 2012 release but the Swedish Cowboy is not a stickler for formalities!

NEW STUFF David Ferguson “David Ferguson” $25 Cowboy Jack Clement may not be a familiar name to everyone but he should be. He started as Sam Phillips’ right hand man at Sun Records and forged a career as one of country music’s greatest songwriters and a diabolically under-recorded artist in his own right. In saying that I’d suggest all he has recorded is necessary in any collection but one song in particular stands as one of the greatest things ever recorded, that being Jack’s amazing “When I Dream (I Dream of You)”, which is a staple of midnight to dawn radio stations across the country and I’d dare say the world. First thing that strikes me is how much like Jack Clement David Ferguson sounds. It is uncanny but I am assured David is doing the singing. David has a career as an engineer with perhaps his best known work being engineer on Johnny Cash’s American Recordings: it was David who did all the solo recordings in Cash’s house. He also played Cowboy Jack in the movie “Great Balls of Fire”, about Jerry Lee Lewis. That’s an intro which leads on to this album. It may be a big call but honestly it is as good as anything I have ever heard. Ten out of ten does not do it justice. He is joined by Jack and some of Jack’s friends such as famed producers & writers Allen Reynolds(...some bloke named Brooks!) and Jim Rooney (Nanci Griffith, Iris Dement), Del McCoury, Shawn Camp, great instrumentalists such as Michael Cleveland, Jason Carter, Jamie Howard etc, and some great drop ins such as John Prine and more. The wonderfully simple arrangement of the 12 Jack Clement songs works superbly. Best for mine is “Someone Brought My Old Home Town” (recorded by Bobby Bare), a wonderful tale of nostalgia with some great Cowboy speak lyrics (“used to like to listen to the tales of the old men who sat around the old park square But the piddlers and the whittlers and the checker boards're gone”). The nostalgia theme is brilliantly continued on “I’ve Got a Thing About Trains”, a song so good it was recorded by Johnny Cash and Bobby Bare...count Dave Ferguson in that hallowed company and be prepared for a surprise as to who does the best version. Jack Clement played an important part in the career of Charley Pride and one of Charley’s biggest was Jack Clement’s wonderful “I Know One”. Superb version here, as is “Baby is Gone”, also a big one for Charley. This is such a wonderful album that every song takes on a fresh new feel. I have only mentioned the best known songs but the comment applies to everything on this gem Jack acts as executive producer on this and hopefully there will be more to come from this great man. David Ferguson is a stunning student. Fabulous stuff.

Alamo Jones “The Voice in Black” $28 Jack Clement also has a connection in that Alamo is a dj on Jack’s internet Outlaw Radio Station. Alamo is actually Chance Martin, and fans of that great independent artist T Jae Christian will recall that T Jae featured Chance on his superb album “Marriage on the Rocks”. What Chance as Alamo has given us is a classic outlaw album a la Waylon, but Alamo will remind many of Johnny Cash. “Jones Hill” is a great song of regret, a theme that occurs in classic outlaw songs. Of course “Jones Hill” is a visit to a grave site but “the road keeps calling”. Classic. “Satan’s Bouquet” sees the singer criticising a lover for leaving the straight and narrow. “You’ll remember me when your beauty fades...when you’re holding nothing but Satan’s bouquet”...love the venom. “An Outlaw’s Got His Pride” is again a classic Waylon style song. “Why” is a reflective song in which he questions “why do I do the things i do”. “Don’t Look for Me” is a message to continue forward in life. Again some good put downs. This is a classic. All songs are by Alamo/Chance and deserve the highest plaudits. Great cover photo sees Alamo against a backdrop of the Ryman. It is in no way a parody of Waylon & Cash. Just a great album which pays a healthy nod to these legends. The fact all are original songs gives it extra marks.

Chuck Cusimano “I Wrote This” $28 I think I need a bit of analogy. I am a huge rugby league fan. Russell, aka the Rascal from Warren, was a highly promising junior rugby league player in several country area of NSW until an injury curtailed his career. He has told me many times of the indigenous players that were playing in various country areas who could do things as well as any of the city players but for varying reasons never made it to the city. There were exceptions of course. Larry Corowa from northern NSW was a sensation for Balmain and Australia and Ewan McGrady from Moree was so successful in his first year for my team, the Bulldogs, that he won the Rothman’s Medal. Russell told me that as great as these two were, there were better players who simply didn’t want to leave their hometown. Now, I would say Chuck Cusimano was in that category. Houston may be not Moree but you should get the idea. He is literally as good as anyone I’ve heard. He reminds a little of George Strait around his wonderful “Beyond the Blue Neon”, with perhaps a little more Haggard vocal nuance. The songs are superb. We had an indicator of that with the excellent Gena Roberts “Shuffle Back to Me”, an album with every song written by Chuck. This is his latest album A little swing, a little honky tonk and a cry in the beer ballad. All done with such an excellence that you would wonder why he wasn’t a full blown star. He looks a lot like actor Wilfred Brimble. Best song for mine is “Damned Demons”, a honky tonk classic, but the swing “Time off for Bad Behaviour’ and the gentle “San Antonio Waltz” are superb. This came out at the end of last year and apart from the regular 12 songs there are two Christmas bonus tracks. “Won’t Be Christmas” could be off a Merle Haggard Christmas album. But the final track “Ten Dollar Toy” will surprise an delight. It is a Red Sovine meets Porter Wagoner narration which will please the toughest critic. We also have Chuck’s earlier albums: *Swing Me a Song $28 *Wind, Blow My Blues Away $28 *We Were Cowboys $28 (western style, original songs)

Garry Ash “Man in the Moon” $28 This is a pure honky tonk album and you could imagine going to Austin and seeing Garry at the Broken Spoke or the Continental and thinking you’ve seen the best show you have ever seen. It is Texas Dancehall magic, perhaps like a little less rustic version of the great James Hand. He starts with “I Came Here to Drink” and you know he isn’t there on a research project. “Possum and Price” is a ‘Hank & Lefty Raised My Country Soul’ style song dedicated to George & Ray respectively. Nice mournful steel guitar Robby Springfield is on steel and is outstanding throughout. “Everything is Bigger in Texas” pays a fitting homage to his home state. Great stuff.

Jody Jenkins “Cars, Bars & Guitars” $28 Third album by this Texas honky tonker, part recorded in Nashville and part in San Antonio. He reminds of the classic country artists of the early 90s along the lines of Tracy Byrd, Daryle Singletary, Tracy Lawrence etc. All bar one of the songs are written by Jody. Best is probably the wonderful Tex-Mex romp, “Beer Drinkin’ People” with some great accordion work courtesy of David Lee Garza. “Runnin’ “ reminds of something the Mavericks may have done. Has a nice edge. You just wish they would still do some country music like this around Nashville.

Norman Wade “Cold Hard Country” $28 Norman is a demi-god at Yesterday & Today Records. Ten years ago we were told Norman would have a new album “next week”. Well, better late than never I say. Actually there are 3 brand new songs with 7 other songs making their first cd appearance, being taken from some of Norm’s old 45s To the unitiated Norman is probably the hardest hard country singer in the Hank Williams vein since Vernon Oxford and even then Vern is smooth by comparison. The new songs are all great. ‘Cajun Fiddling Joe” is an excellent toe tapper. “The Papers” is a duet with Debbie Grisham, wife of steel guitar wizard, Doyle Grisham, whilst “Tomorrow You’ll Be Gone” was written by the great Marty Robbins. One of the old tracks actually has Marty playing piano on it. Norm worked for Marty And Jim Glaser at some time, but certainly has none of their smooth approach. He is loved by all. We have some very hard cds to get in the Rarities section. These are like hen’s teeth. Also have very limited stocks of other cds: *Best of Norman Wade Vol 1: King of the Honky tonks $28 *From Nashville to You $28 *Remember Country $28 *Pure Country $28 *Warning! This Album Contains Old Time Country Music $28 *For a Minute There $28 (last 2 we have 2 original copies of each as well as 2 reissue copies)

Gene Watson “Best of the Best: 25 Greatest Hits” $30 Gene is one of the greatest stylists in country music history. He has been recording since the 70s on Capitol, MCA, CBS, Step One and several other labels. He has gone back and re- recorded these songs so as to give a classic cross label selection. From the Capitol years none is better than “Paper Rosie” a classic ballad about an old woman who sells paper roses. This is even better than the original and that is saying something. So I would recommend this to those who have a lot of Gene Watson or those who want to have a great 75 minutes of this genius. Over the years we have been asked a lot for “Carmen’ and Gene nails the version here.

DVD Tru-Country Season Three 3dvds 12 episodes approx 6 hours $48 These are superbly recorded, both from a visual and audio perspective. They present a US cable tv show produced by Heather Myles, one of the very favourite female vocalists we have ever carried. Each show features some of the best independent country artists around today. There are also some classic artists. Appearing on this are Johnny Rodriguez, a little more leathery than we may have seen him but singing as fine as ever. Also appearing are Becky Hobbs, if there is a better female piano pounder in country music, please tell me. Merle’s wonderful ex Leona Williams is superb. Hank’s daughter Jett Williams presents a pair of Hank classics, whilst Jake Penrod is the ultimate Hank imitator. Others include Jody Nix, son of Hoyle Nix, and a fine honky tonker and swing artist. Others include great artists such as Danni Leigh, James Intveld, Rick Shea (both representing the best of West Coast country), the legendary Johnny Bush, the fabulous Miss Leslie, the only female I have seen who consistently sings like George Jones) and I still haven’t mentioned the wonderful Ray Price influenced Jake Hooker and that Texas honky tonker Bobby Flores. We also have a copy or two of Season One & Season Two (each $48...same set up as this with different artsists. Season two for example features Georgette Jones.

Bobby Bare “Hard Time Hungrys/ The Winner & Other Losers” $28 Two of Bare’s albums on the one cd. “Hard Time Hungrys” has been out on cd before and has great relevance to the current financial situation in the US. Scary in fact. “The Farmer Feeds Us All” is a classic Depression era tale of hard times. The “Winner & Other Losers” came out a year after and featured one of Bare’s wittiest songs, teh pseudo gospel “Drop Kick Me Jesus (through the goalposts of life)” which despite the irreverence was not written by Shel Silverstein but Paul Craft. Of course Shel wrote “The Winner” (with its wonderful line about his teeth looking like chiclets after being knocked out).

Burl Ives “Sweet, Sad & Salty: the Nashville Years” $28 A great 31 tracker which features 60s and early 70s tracks recorded under the direction of Own Bradley. Burl’s Nashville recordings were previously available on a Bear Family box set which is unfortunately out of print. What Burl did have was seemingly unlimited access to the best songwriters and some of the best Hank Cochran and Harlan Howard songs first found their way into the world on Burl Ives albums of this period. Songs such as “Little Bitty Tear” are timeless. It of course includes some standards; Burl’s version of “Long Black Veil” is hard to beat, but he also paid due reverence to his folk heritage with songs such as “Hobo Jungle” and “Unemployment Check”. As always his voice comes across as wonderfully smooth and distinct. There are 5 or 6 songs on here that were not on the Bear box.

Amy Francis “Balladacious” $28 She is a native of San Antonio and recently received a 5 star review in Country Music People. She does country standard with an excellent band led by steel player. Tommy Detamore. There are mixed reactions to this type of thing. The fact they are standards will delight some and also turn some away but the arrangements seem excellent and thus should be well received....that is how I summed the album up PRIOR to its arrival. I must say any doubts went after playing this. The arrangements are so memorable and the production is absolutely stunning. Amy is a classic vocalist. This may almost be up there with “Stardust” in terms of its sheer quality. She has a wonderfully colourful and emotional voice. “Fool Number One” is one of the finest female vocals I’ve ever heard. A classic nod to the Nashville sound.

Mike Alan Ward “Reading Hemingway: Looking Through the Pain” $28 By way of introduction Mike was responsible for a fabulous cd called “Gram Parsons Notebook: The Last Whippoorwill”. You will find I have 1 solitary copy in the bluegrass section though it is ostensible not bluegrass. Somehow Mike acquired a notebook that once belonged to the Godfather of country rock, Gram Parsons. The resultant album saw Mike joined by artists such as Carl Jackson and Jim Lauderdale to give life to these songs which had in fact been lying dormant. The last remaining Parsons track is presented here, a wonderful “Blurry Slurry Night” which is stunning. Leslie Satcher, a fine Nashville singer and writer adds an Emmylou touch and it is propelled by some very “Gramsy-steel”. The whole album is excellent with touches of bluegrass on a couple of tracks such as the dobro tinged “Room Number 8”, a reference to the room in which Gram Parsons died at the Joshua Tree Inn. The following downbeat “I Fell Down” is even better. Again Al Perkins is superb on dobro. Sombre and so laid back you can’t believe how good it can be. “Thunder of the Train” is a small town classic. Not a Tom Russell style voice but a decidedly Tom Russell style song. “Sadness on the Edge of Town” is a perfect picture of a guy descending into self pity and decay. Great. Mike has had his songs recorded by a number of major artists including Dierks Bentley, but he does more justice to them than anyone possible could. Maybe the best of its type since that all time classic from John Williamson (the Georgia State native not the other bloke).

Norma Jean “Norma Jean’s Cowboy Church Gospel” $28 Looking and singing as well as ever. This new release from the fabulous Heart of Texas label sees Norma singing 12 gospel songs which generally don’t get covered that often. The one exception is “When the Saints Go Marching In” but low and behold she does it almost shuffle style. Produced by maybe the most talented man in country music today, Justin Trevino, this is full of surprises. Steel guitar wiz, Dicky Overbey is superb throughout, especially on the jaunty “Jesus is a Cowboy”.

Bob Manning & the Honky Tonk Roadshow “The Taste of a Honky Tonk” $22. 14 tracker that was recorded by Bob prior to moving from Portland Oregon to Texas. It is live & includes some well know songs interspersed with originals. The idea I guess is that it is hard for an unknown artist to attract a crowd if he only does his own songs. Whilst the covers are good his own songs are superb. The concluding “Anthem” is as good as anything on his 2011 Album of the Year (see above). All copies signed by Bob.

George Hamilton IV “Tribute to Luke the Drifter: the Other Side of Hank Williams” $28. This is a surprise. George once did an album of Bakersfield songs that was fabulous and this tribute to Hank will be a delight for any fans of country music’s uncontested main man. It has a mix of stories and songs. 32 tracks in all and it begins with a tribute song that will rocket to the top of best ever Hank tribute songs, the glorious “Has Anybody Here Seen Hank?”. (“I don’t want to hear what he did with his women, I just don’t care what he did when he drank...I just want to hear one note from that lonesome old throat, has anybody here seen Hank”.) As an added authenticity it was recorded at Hank’s real birthplace of Georgiana, Alabama. George captures the sincerity of Hank and his performance is riveting. The anecdotes are not from any books but gathered from some old acquaintances, one relates to Hank getting up in church (where his mother played the piano) and singing a song when a mere 7 years old. George’s delivery is wonderful. It runs a tad under 70 minutes. The performances are superb. They are George’s interpretations so you don’t just get an imitation. A must for any Hank Williams’ fan but should not be limited to only Hank Williams’ fans. The best Hank tribute album I have ever heard.

Cash, Johnny – Original Classics 3 cds $25 First time on cd for these. Includes Hello I’m Johnny Cash/ The Johnny Cash Show/ Man in Black. This latter is the great original album called the “Man in Black”, not one of the seemingly endless compilations of the same name. It includes brilliant title song, “Singin’ in Vietnam Talkin’ Blues”, “Ned Kelly”, etc. The first of the 3 includes his great version of “If I Were a Carpenter” as well as the Jack Clement track so beautifully done by David Ferguson, “I’ve Got a Thing About Trains”.

Cash, Johnny – The Real Johnny Cash 3cds $20 6 albums on 3 cds. Includes: The Fabulous Johnny Cash/ Hymns/ Songs of Our soil/ Ride This Train/ Now There Was a Song!/ Hymns from the Heart. This has his firs t 6 Columbia albums in entirety plus 7 bonus tracks. Great value.

Gosdin, Vern “Till the End/ Never My Love/ You’ve Got Somebody” 3lps on 2cds $30 Edsel (UK)/Rhino. These are Vern’s Elektra albums recorded between 1977 and 1979. They have never been on cd before, except the out of print compilation on Warners (we have one copy listed in this newsletter). Vern had begun to garner new respect even though his ultimate success didn’t come until nearly 10 years later with the wondrous “Chiselled in Stone”. These are gems and include 2 duets each with Emmylou Harris and two with Janie Fricke. Not a bad couple of partners, eh what?

James Lann “Ford”$28 James Lann “Honky tonk Kung Fu” $28 The title of the second album is perhaps the worst I have ever heard, which is a shame as the artist is great. That song incidentally is about a barroom brawl. He is also a genuine cowboy/cattle rancher so has written from his own personal experiences. He is able to sing all styles and is an excellent writer with a good turn of phrase even though “Deep in the Heart of This Texan” is one of the few songs on “ford” he didn’t write, as is another with Texas in the title, Mac Davis’ wonderful “Texas In My Rear View Mirror”. It is very much in the style that would have killed it on the majors, late 80s and early 90s. Just wonderful. “Ford” has 15 tracks with over 50 minutes running time. Despite the title, “Honky Tonk Kung-Fu” is every bit as good as “Ford”. “Heaven Ain’t The Place to Be” is a ditty that mentions greats who have gone to heaven...Waylon (may be debateable!!)& Conway. As a contrast “Back on Track” is a wonderful ballad, a tale of a guy aiming to return to the straight and narrow. “Rented Houses” is another ballad gem, a classic “You can’t take it with you”. 2 bonus tracks feature that excellent Texan, Jason Allen.

Brian Mallery “Living My Dream” $28 Brian Mallery “Message from Above” $28 Brian is a Canadian guy, with an excellent voice. The fact that he does duets on this album with both Daryle Singletary & Ken Mellons (the album was recorded in Nashville) will give you a indicator where he is coming from. The fact that the duet with Mellons is one of the greatest songs ever in “Chiselled in Stone” and it can stand alongside the original by the great Vern Gosdin is testimony to his vocal skills. I can remember saying a similar thing a few years ago about that all time indie favourite, T Jae Christian, who had the audacity to record “He Stopped Lovin’ Her Today” yet like Brian Mallery was able to pull off the impossible. He duets with Singletary on 2 tracks, one familiar, the oft covered “Tennessee Whiskey” but is even better with Daryle on “Hot Bands & Cold Beer”, a good ol boys romp. You could run through every track on this and not fail to be impressed. “Don’t Let Life Get You Down” starts off with a sad fiddle and is very personal as apparently he suffered a serious injury which curtailed his career. “Woludn’t Mama Be Proud” explores the classic country theme of the black sheep returning to the fold. Lots of classic themes. Big Brad Brad from Brewarrina reckons it runs close to the best he has ever heard. Despite a somewhat religious title, this isn’t a gospel album but the previous album recorded before his 2006 accident...”Nashville Plastic” is a nice autobiographical piece isn’t about the state of Nashville country but dream of making it in Music City. Pity it wasn’t the early 90s...he is too good an d much too country for Nashville now. “Message from Above” is sung from a woman’s perspective about a marriage to a man everyone knows will be trouble and she receives her father’s message from above. Another fine cd.

Randy Thompson “Collected” $25 This is compilation from an Americana styled artist dating between 1998 and 2011. He tours Europe on a regular basis and no doubt has a similar fan base to that of Steve Earle. He does some fine covers notably “Rocksalt & Nails”, although best known by Steve Young, is by Utah Phillips. 15 tracks. Again, for fans of Earle, Ely etc it would prove a gem.

Chelsea Crowell “Crystal City” $28 Now this gal is unassuming. Her parents are Roseanne Cash and Rodney Crowell yet in the notes merely thanks “my mother & my father”. Set firmly in an Americana style with a lot of folky touches that work well on the two part “Baptized”, an epic recording. Lots of imagery of the devil contrasted with the other side. She reminds a little of Karen Dalton on this track..anyone who knows Karen Dalton will appreciate that. Very much an American album which will appeal to Lucinda Williams’ fans.

Jason Arnold & the Stepsiders “Crazy Things” $28 This has a very retro honky tonk feel and the best tracks have a great edge. “Cold Neon Stare” has some great lines which are pure Texas honky tonk...”this bottle always keeps me happy as I drift into a cold neon stare. “Down to My Last Dollar” is certainly not a man lamenting the failure of Wall Street. Jason has a fairly ordinary voice but it works well on the material. Most are originals but he does a great cover of Willie’s “Half a Man”. The steel playing of Jon Jaffe is outstanding. He pulls off some wonderfully sad licks on that track. Charlie Daniels lively “Texas” (one of only 3 non originals) suits Jason perfectly and there are some great solos especially Erik Metzger on piano. Vern Gosdin and George Jones certainly don’t have any competition in the vocal stakes but the feel of the album is great.

T Jarrod Bonta “White Lines” $28 The Broken Spoke is an iconic Austin club. It used to be on the outskirts but as the city has grown is now surrounded by high rise and hotels but still retains its charm, a rustic charm which screams authenticity. T, or is it Jarrod, has a regular gig there as the piano pounder for the Cornell Hurd Band, probably the best live band in the city. He gets to do his regular songs and they are indeed a highlight as he has an easy going authentic style. He has also a background in swing so can be jazzy in places. On this he chooses to take a more country route and can be very traditional. “The Bottomless Pit” is a classic themed song about mining. “Broken Hearts Like Mine” sees him sharing the spotlight with the great Johnny Bush, a nice voice contrast. He is aided on vocals by that fine Texan, Roger Wallace; it does seem that the rumoured new album from Roger is just that. Dam it!

Tony Booth When A Man Loves a Woman/ This Is $28 This is the second 2 on 1 release of Tony Booth’s original Capitol albums from 1972 and 1973 respectively. Tony is still going strong and was one of the guiding lights of West Coast country when he was the Palomino Club in Los Angeles house band leader. His style is a mix of Bakersfield with a little Ray Price thrown in. A great voice and one of the most popular of the Heart of Texas label artists now. On the strength of these albums was nominated for Academy of Country Music Award for best male vocalist. After leaving the west coast he toured in teh 80s as a member of Gene Watson’s Band. Great selection. Tracks: 1. When A Man Loves A Woman 2. How Long Will My Baby Be Gone 3. Colors I’m Gonna Paint The Town4. He Don’t Deserve You Anymore 5. Love's Gonna Live Here6. Sweethearts In Heaven7. Mirror Mirror On The Wall 8. You'll Never Miss The Water (Till The Well Runs Dry)9. Would You Settle For Roses 10. Courage To Go Home11. Old Faithful12. Someday I'm Gonna Go To Mexico 13. Out Of Ways To Try14. If I Had You Back Again15. High As The Mountains16. Loving You17. I Won't Be Needing You18. Don't Let True Love Slip Away19. Full Time Daddy 20. Hurry, Come Running Back To Me

Jerry Kilgore “Telephone, Texas” $30 Firstly this is a real place and ever since I knew of it I believed it would be a fine title for a song...and darn it...it is!!. There are some great place names in Texas and no wonder many have been used in songs. This is a great indie release of true country, recorded in Nashville, but not resembling any of the modern pop stuff that comes from there. All songs are by Jerry who had a short stint on the majors and was always well though of by Yesterday & Today Records customers. Lost of humour as well as Jerry proclaims, “I wish I had been born rich instead of so good looking”...i love it when the artist has no self esteem issues. 13 honky tonkers for country fans. Overstreet, Paul “Forever & Ever Amen” $28 Overstreet, Paul “Living by the Book” $25 (gospel) Paul Overstreet has been one of the most successful country writers since the 1980s. He has also been a successful singer and has released some very religious material as well. Two years or so there was a severe flood in Nashville. Nashville is on the Cumberland River and there are lots of creeks and tributaries flowing off it so the damage was widespread. Overstreet was one who suffered as most of his stock was destroyed by the flood. So these are in VERY short supply. The former is a 20 track overview of his career and includes his own versions of two of the biggest country songs ever, “Forever & Ever Amen” and “When You Say Nothing at All”, which actually went global when covered by Ronan Keating and featured in the Hugh Grant/ Julia Roberts movie “Nottinghill”. The second consists of 13 original Overstreet gospel songs. Don’t miss out as they are very scarce.

RARITIES

There are some so rare in here that I honestly believe we will not have them again. Please bear in mind that many of these are items where I only have 1 copy. These are genuine long out of print albums which are just wonderful. If you have any questions please ask. If you want the best country there is this is it.

Ace in the Hole Band “Ace in the Hole Band” $25 Early nineties “solo” cd from George Strait’s touring band. Includes guets vocals by Mel Tillis & Darrell McCall. Anderson, Bill Greatest Hits (Varese) $38 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. Of course all original versions. Atkins/Reed Sneakin’ Around $25 Chet’s3rd album with Jerry Reed is full of great picking & the wonderful interplay of the first two. Ball, David David Ball $25 This was going to precede “Thinkin’ Problem” and in their wisdom RCA didn’t release it. A pity as it is very good with originals& covers. A must for David Ball fans, and isn’t that just about everyone?? Bandy, Moe No Regrets $35 very rare Curb album from 1988. In includes Moe’s version of “Nobody Gets Off in This Town” which preceded a version included on Garth Brooks’ debut album. Bandy, Moe Many Mansions $35 Another hard to get Curb label cd produced by Jerry Kennedy. Moe even contributes 2 songs, “Yuppie Love” and “Charlie”, which kind of make you wonder why he hasn’t written more over the years. Bandy, Moe I Just Started Hatin’ Cheatin’ Songs Today/ It Was Always So Easy (To Find an Unhappy Woman) $60 (Westside UK 2002) Was only out a very very short time as the label went broke. Try and find one….you won’t. First 2 albums which were on the GRT label and precede his CBS albums. Max D Barnes “Day After Forever” $30 for the uninitiated Max D Barnes was one of Nashville’s greatest songwriters. He had many hits but probably the highlight was the CMA song of the year “Chiseled in Stone” which he co-wrote with the singer of that great song, Vern Gosdin. Max was also responsible for 9 of the 12 songs on that stunning album of Arnold Sanford “That’s Why I Sing This Way” which a panel of heavies has voted as the greatest indie album of all time. Now, as a singer Max was stunning as well. He was highly reminiscent of Vern Gosdin and had a little Don Williams in there too. Yet he was criminally under- recorded. He only had 2 lps and this cd. I had searched for over 5 years to get this and in the end was able to contact Max T Barnes, Max D’s son and a great songwriter in his own right. So this is going to be a one off. Try and find this anywhere and you simply won’t. To say it is great is an understatement. Don’t miss it. Berry, Benny Standing Here Alone $45 Berry, Benny Some Things Never Change $40 Berry, Benny Mama’s Rockin’ Chair $40 Berry, Benny When the Trains Still Ran Through Dixie $40 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. 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. Note: The last newsletter had these in it as well but those copies went in an absolute thrice. These are one I was fortunate to acquire in very recent times. Bogguss, Suzy/Chet Atkins Simpatico $25 One of Chet’s last albums and one of Suzy’s best, if not the best. A must have. Highlight’s are many But personally can’t go past the fabulous Johnny Cash song “I Still Miss Someone” and Elton John’s “Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word”. Wonderful song with Chet showing why he is so revered, great guitar “Two Shades of Blue” may be better with a hint of accordion. Bond, Johnny Best of Johnny Bond $35 17 tracks on Varese & the only place you will get the original “Hot Rod Lincoln”. Also the hilarious “Ten Little Bottles”. Boone, Larry Swingin’ Doors & Sawdust Floors $35 As good as it gets. A great songwriter & singer he reminds of George Strait in the late 80s! This was his second cd and includes two songs written by Larry that are synonymous with other artists. “Beyond the Blue Neon” is of course the title song of George Starit’s best ever album whilst “Old Coyote Town” is a Don Williams’ specialty. Two great Texas songs (both originals)…the honky tonker ”Ten Times Texas” and “Under a Lone Star Moon” (the great ballad) complete this gem. Boone, Larry Down That River Road $40 As good as it gets. A great songwriter& singer he reminds of George Strait 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”. His final Mercury album. Boone, Larry “One Way to Go” $28 He had two albums on Columbia. This, his first is stunning. Great ballad oriented album with the highlight being the superb “It Wouldn’t Kill Me”, a Larry Boone original. But he shows himself as a great interpreter as well with a stunning version of “All I Have to Offer You Is Me”.Pure unadulterated country. A word of advice, avoid his following album on Columbia, “Get in Line”. This one however grab gleefully!! Brack, John & Friends “Face to Face: 14 Country Duets” (RCA) $35 John Brack is a German singer who sings country music in English with very little accent at all. This as the title indicates is duets with some of America’s finest. As an added advantage the songs are a mix of originals and extremely hard to find covers. The duet partners combine extremely well and include Bobby Bare, Dean Dillon, Mel McDaniel, Becky Hobbs, Mel McDaniel, Stella Parton, Moe Bandy and Paul Overstreet. Good one. Brack, John “High Moon” $28 (RCA) Another excellent album recorded in Nashville with a band including Rob Hajacos on fiddle and Sonny Garrish on steel. Brown, Roger Rodeo Boogie $35 Great indie album from one of Texas’s best writers. Browne, Jann Tell Me Why $25 1990 gem long OOP As well as being a cracker singer she is a great writer with the highlight being “Louisville”. Emmylou guests. Something that is just not in existence anymore, a great major label female vocalist. Browne, Jann It Only Hurts When I Laugh $25 Her 2 Curb albums (this and the one previous) were both crackers but she was and is a west coast artist with an affinity for the music of Buck Owens and I guess she was hard to promote out of Nashville. Emphatically great and Heather Myles fans would adore Jann.

Bruce, Ed The Best Of $45 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. Cartwright, Lionel Lionel Cartwright $25 He debuted same time as Garth & Clint Black & his first was a stunner. “Like Father Like Son” is a classic. Sounds as fine today as when first released. Cash, Johnny/ Waylon Jennings “ Heroes” $70 Featuring the only duet album of the two great Highwaymen. They do an immaculate version of the Tom T Hall gem “Ballad of Forty Dollars” & two fine Rodney Crowell covers. This cd reissue of the lp is on Razor & Tie label and is just about impossible to find. Cash, Tommy Let An Old Racehorse Run $28 12 track indie on Playback inc 2 duets with Jeannie C Riley, who we are told turned Tommy’s life around (along with the lord). Don’t you just love liner notes!! Coe, David Allan 1990 Songs for Sale. $48 20 new original recordings (not re-recordings of hits...all new songs) was first on the DAC label. All great Coe songs such as “A Marriage Made in Heaven Went to Hell”, “The Devil was to Blame”,“Tennessee Waltz With Me” plus the great tale of luck “The Penny” etc. Easily up there with the best of Coe and impossible to get…what more?? Coe, David Allan “Granny’s Off Her Rocker” DAC $35 This was the second of Coe’s own label releases and had a couple of songs that would become stage favourites such as the cleverly worded “Drink Canada Dry”, but without doubt Coe achieves some of his best storytelling success with the wonderful “The Matador’ with shall we say its rather sad denouement. Brilliant. Coe, David Allan “Standing Too Close to the Flame” $35 Another DAC label gem which actually sees Coe singing a few other people’s songs, notably Danny Mayo who was responsible for that wonderful Confederate Railroad song “Jesus & Mama”. These are just as good with a certain quirkiness that Coe seems to do so well. Coe, David Allan “DAC: Living on the Edge” $35 Think this was the last actual DAC album which comes with its own warning...”This music may cause or cure depression – your choice”. Great songs such as “Until Hell Freezes Over” and “The Telephone” are Coe gems. Coe, David Allan “A Matter of Life ...and Death” $25 CBS This was his last album for CBS and was on cd for a very short time. Whilst it is now on Bear Family this is the original and purists demand the original. Coe, David Allan “Crazy Daddy” CBS $30 This is an album that came out after the preceding and is a mix of mainly old but with a couple of new songs. The title track is one of the best things Coe ever did and whilst written by Johnny Darrell it is so appropriate to apply its message to Coe himself. Coe, David Allan “Nothing Sacred” $28 Coe, David Allan “Underground Album” $25 WARNING THESE ARE X rated. THEY ARE VERY RUDE. I am also finding them very hard to find. Now, they say self-proclaimed genius doesn’t really count but how many reviewers ever picked out that the melodies used on the first album were given new words and used by Coe on his album “Recommended for Airplay” (you see it carried the warning NOT recommended for Airplay”) Well it was me...none of these others were savvy enough. Again beware these are rude. Conlee, John Fellow Travellers (16th Avenue) $35 This gem had a short release as the label went out of business. Big voice of Conlee is unmistakeable and great songs on this Bud Logan produced gem. Conlee, John Blue Highway $35 (Pair) This compilation of MCA tracks has some hits including the wonderfully quirky “I Don’t Remember Loving You” (written by Harlan Howard) and the title song but also has some great album tracks such as “Arthur & Alice” that are simply not available elsewhere, making it a must have item. Copas, Cowboy Copasetic King & Starday Recordings 1944-1960 $40 26 of the best on Westside. This label went out of business and was the only one that had any of the classic King tracks presented as they should be. Craddock, Billy “Crash” Back on Track” $40 This 1989 album on Atlantic is perhaps the best straight country album of his career, which started in the 50s. At one time he headed a show in Sydney with underlings such as the Everly Brothers. He was as big as it gets. The songs on this are a mix of covers and songs written for Billy. I believe this was his last album and certainly last for a major. Crickets T-Shirt $30 Great late 80s album featuring Gordon Payne (a close compatriot of Waylon Jennings) on vocals & guitar with original Crickets alumni Jerry Allison and Joe Maudlin. Great commercial sound…in the sense it is catchy as well as being excellent. Don’t confuse that with the “commercial’ as used to describe today’s country music…which in reality is best described as brain dead. Highly sought due to the presence of Paul McCartney. Nice semi rockabilly meets country feel. Cryner, Bobbie Bobbie Cryner ****once only special price****$30 always say this gem is the best album by a female we have ever had & (until Miss Leslie came along) the only time I have heard a female sing like George Jones. Very much like Melba Montgomery to these ears. Wonderfully produced by Carl Jackson, it also includes a great duet with Dwight Yoakam on the classic “I Don’t Care”,a classic for Webb Pierce. Still as good as it gets. As a bonus one signed copy $35 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. We also have a World Wide Music (Denmark) Dalton, Lacy J – Survivor $40 This rates as her very best album which is really saying something given the overall quality. Her version of Guy Clark’s “Old Friends” ranks as one of the best recordings ever!!! “Hard Luck Ace” makes reference to both Waylon & Janis Joplin. A magical album. As good as it gets. Daniels, Clint Clint Daniels $35 This was typical of the mid to late 90s. Great albums which were shelved whilst the overall standard went down. This was eagerly awaited and would have been on Arista. Alas it was never released. A great bunch of musos and all bar three songs were by Clint. When I tell you the other songs were by Larry Cordle & Dean Dillon you know it is special. This has both back and front covers, something that is exceedingly hard to get. Dave & Deke Combo Hollywood Barn Dance $35 1996 gem with Deke Diuckerson & Dave Stuckey along with Lance Ray Soliday & Brian “Shorty” Poole. One of the very best west coast albums and very nicely presented. Davies, Gail – Pretty Words $28 MCA one of our favourites and certainly in the very top echelon of Nashville female writers and singers. From 1989 and was produced by Jimmy Bowen. Gail wrote or co-wrote all 10 songs. Davies, Gail “Love Ain’t Easy” $28 Nice independent album on her own label. Includes Mandy Barnett on backing vocals. Davis, Joey “Love Songs, Waltz’s True Stories & Lies” $38 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. Delray, Martin Get Rhythm $35***special 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. Delray, Martin What Kind of Man $25 Second of only 2 albums. Great deep voice and also a great guitar player. Stunning version of Steve Earle’s “Sometimes She Forgets”.This should be in every collection. Dickens, Little Jimmy I’m Little But I’m Loud $30 22 track gem on Razor & Tie is now out of print. Whilst it covers all his styles from honky tonk to novelty it includes one of the best ever tearjerkers, maybe the best, in “Raggedy Ann”...you sure have been quite a doll Raggedy Ann, yes quite a doll. Dillon, Dean I’ve Learned to Live $55 second of his Capitol albums. Impossible to find. Inc. his version of the song he wrote with Vern Gosdin, “Back in the Swing of Things” as well as “Changes Going On” which hit for Alabama. Still more, a great duet with Tanya Tucker. Terrific album. Very hard to get. Dunn, Holly Across the Rio Grande $30 Dunn, Holly Holly Dunn $35 Dunn, Holly Cornerstone $35 Holly Dunn’s first 3 albums on the MTM label were definitely her best with the self titled one containing her biggest hit in“Daddy’s Hands”, the second “Cornerstone’ maybe her best with 2 stunning tracks in “Strangers again” & a delightful version of Jim Croce’s “Lovers’ Cross’whilst the final MTM album had her delightful version of the title song, also done by Reba, but Holly wins!! All 3 albums are delightful. Edwards, Stoney Just For Old Times Sake $55 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. The best news from last year was Bear Family’s “A Girl called Johnny Cash” which unveiled 10 previously unissued Stoney recordings. Just like a gift from heaven. Edwards, Stoney “Old Folks Stick Together” $35 Razor & Tie. A stunning compilation of his Capitol tracks including “A Two Dollar Tou”…the closest he ever got to a hit “Hank & Lefty Raised My Country Sou, his stunning take on “Mississippi You’ve Been on My Mind”l etc. What a voice! Lefty, Hag and Stoney!! Eddy, Duane The Twang’s the Thang/ Songs of Our Heritage $35 Bear Family had the rights to the Jamie catalogue (Eddy’s original recording label) and these two are acknowledged as the best sounding Duane Eddy albums They have the rights again but this is only on the $200+ box set. Ethel & the Shameless Hussies Born to Burn 1988 $25 Another Jimmy Bowen production from1988 featuring the fabulous Kasey Jones who came steamin’ & a rollin’down under in 2008. Sassy female honky tonk with lots of wit esp. ontracks such as “One Night Stan”.

Ewing, Skip “Coast of Colorado” MCA $30 Whilst now best known as a songwriter of great success this debut 1988 album shows he is also a wonderful singer with a deep distinctive voice. As debut albums go this is wonderfyul and includes the hits “The Gospel According to Luke” and “Burning a Hole in My Heart”. Fargo, Donna Best $25 Varese cd with 18 tracks. You could be the Happiest Girl in teh Whole USA if you get this or have a Funny Face if you don’t.

Ford, Tennesee Ernie & Glen Campbell “Ernie Sings & Glen Picks $38 This is the original issue with full liner notes. 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. Ford, Tennessee Ernie “Capitol Collectors Series” $38 Wonderful 29 tracker with great liner notes and sound quality. I have said it before, this series (ie Capitol Collectors) is all out of print but always represented the best sampling of an artists work. They have the ones you want to hear and also include stunning obscure tracks such as Ern’s take on an R & B number “I Don’t Know”. Frickie, Janie Labor of Love $28 This 1989 CBS release was one of her best two with the highlight being stunning version of Steve Earle’s best song, “My Old Friend the Blues”. Ironically she didn’t have great success with this album but in essence her albums where she changed her name to the phonetic spelling (Frickie not Fricke) were by far her very best. Frizzell, Allen A Piece of My Heart $70 Wow, double wow and triple wow. Allen is the younger brother of both Lefty and David Frizzell and I always thought he was a better singer than David. He was married to David’s duet partner, Shelly West, and that relationship broke up when Allen & Shelley did. This album was only ever released in Europe, Netherlands I believe but was recorded in Nashville, and it is interesting to note vocal harmonies by Eddie London & Keith Palmer. I only have a copy of this absolute pearler.. Without doubt a must have item if the wonderful Lefty drawl is your forte. The title track, is one of those which stop the room...the album is riddled with them 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. The all out honky tonker “I Fell Off the Wagon” features his former boss, The Possum 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. Grand, Gil Famous Last Words Never actually released. $20 has partial graphics. Excellent Canadian artist. George, Sonny Country & Western Roundup volume 1$35 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”. Gosdin, Vern Alone $30 when it comes to sad crying in your beer style this may be the best ever album. Documents his broken marriage. Gosdin, Vern The Voice $35 Original blood red case version of his wonderful 1998 album. Also includes his then protégé (wink wink) Lacy Lynne who joins the great man on a couple of duets. It was a fitting reminder that here was the guy who would run George Jones to a photo finish in the best vocalist stakes. Greene, Jack The Jolly Green Giant $35 Only cd of his MCA tracks was this gem on Edsel UK label which was long out of print. 20 tks. Haggard, Merle The Way I Am $55 His MCA gem is literally like trying to find gold. Features some of his best and most personal songs like “No One to Sing For But the Band” & “Life’s Just not the Way it Used to Be” Also has a mini tribute to Ernest Tubb with 4 tracks either written by or associated with the Texas Troubadour. Great album. Haggard, Merle My Farewell to Elvis $35 Another out of Print title. He covers Elvis & includes his own “From Graceland to the Promised Land”. Haggard, Merle Capitol Collectors Series $25 20 tracks.The best single cd of Merle at his best.As a guide the Capitol Collectors series of releases were simply the best sounding and compiled of any label, Haggard, Merle “I’m Always on a Mountain When I Fall” $55 This is the very rare long out of print cd version of his 1978 MCA album, the label he went to when he completed his tenure at Capitol. Includes the great Dave Kirby concert favourite, “There Ain’t No Good Chain Gang” plus an excellent song from his then new bride Leona Williamsm “Mama I’ve Got to Go to Memphis”. There is a small punch hole on the booklet. Haggard, Merle “5:01 Blues” Epic $35 Last album for the label and never reissued, so don’t miss out, One of his best as well It probably also has his last top 10 single in “A Better Love Next Time’. As well he does a sterling job on the song associated with (but not written by) Don Gibson, “Sea of Heartache”. One of his best albums, 21 years old and only available here!! Haggard, Merle His Greatest And Best $25 MCA collection which is very well compiled and features his great tribute to Tommy Collins, “Leonard”, one of his best ever songs IMO! Haggard, Merle “Friend in California” $30 Original copy of this great album on the Epic label which includes his answer song “The Okie From Muskogee’s Coming Home”. Hall, Tom T - A Soldier of Fortune $35 (Koch) Hall, Tom T - Places I’ve Done Time $38 (Koch) Hall, Tom T - Ol’ T’s in Town $38 (Koch) Tom T has not been particularly well treated in the re-issue market. Whilst most of his output was on Mercury he ventured over to RCA for a while and put out some fine albums, all of which were great But the cd reissues on Koch lasted for seemingly 5 minutes and were deleted in the late 90s about a year after being reissued. They go for at least double these prices on ebay and Amazon but only have one of each so do not dally. Harms, Joni Hometown Girl $35 Joni’s original Capitol album. Very hard to get. Joni has carved out a career for herself singing western oriented songs and this hold sup remarkably well, perhaps as production by Jimmy Bowen and song choice are both first class. Hassler, Tim “Wanted” $30 This is appropriately on Outlaw Records as it is decidedly influenced by the Outlaw movement a la Waylon & Willie. It is one of the Cosmic Cowboy’s favourite albums as it has a great song about a hooker (no not Danny Buderus) but a gal called “Destiny” (who lived just down the hall). Now, the Cosmic Cowboy and I do have some variants in taste but not here! A gem.

Hobbs, Becky All Keyed Up $25 Best ever female honky tonk album, with the best track being “Jones on the Jukebox”. Becky is the consummate show gal. Whilst known for her rompers the ballad “She Broke Her Promise” is superb as well. Originally on the MTM label. “Jones on the Jukebox” was a co-write with Mack Vickery. Homer& Jethro America’s Song Butchers: The Weird World of Homer & Jethro. $35 Great humour and equally fine musicianship. Apparently they were originally billed by their real names till some guy forgot whothey were & on the spur of a moment said…”Here are Homer & Jethro” and it stuck. They created a niche with their parodying of hit songs which featured equally fine musicianship, especially Jethro Burns on mandolin 20 track on Razor & Tie. OOP

House, James James House $30 Debut album was well received in all quarters but didn’t do much chart wise…hence he only had a 2 album run on MCa plus an album later on Epic…believe me the MCA were better. Still sounds good especially the first single “Don’t Quit Me Now” and the upbeat “Lucinda”. House, James Hard Times for an Honest Man $30 His second MCA album was even better than his first self titled album & is very very hard to get. Howard, Randy “Macon Music” $35 1994 outlaw styled album who had recorded in the 70s where he did “I Don’t Know”, a track later done by Hank III. As expected the songs deal with the classic country themes of drinking & cheating. Great songs by the likes of Curly Putnam, Don Schlitz and a couple by Randy himself. Husky, Ferlin Vintage Collection $35 20 tracker out of print with both his original version of “Gone” (as Terry Preston...an alias) & the hit version (as Ferlin Husky....his real name)

Husky, Ferlin “With Feelin’” Pair/Capitol $30 16 tracker of which only a couple are duplicated pn the previous. Hard to believe Bear Family have not done a box set.

Alan Jackson – “New Traditional” $90 (Americana) His pre “Here in the Real World” recordings only available in Japan and withdrawn because of legal problems. The vocals were originally demos but were redubbed by the crème de la crème of Nashville’s musicians such as Paul Franklin, Rob Hajacos, Ray Flacke etc. Jackson’s vocals are excellent and the highlight is the track “Merle and George” (an adaptation of“Hank & Lefty Raised my Country Soul”. Rare! Rare! And then some. You won’t find another.

Jackson, Larry Blue Highway $40 Jackson, Larry Out of the Blue $40 I don’t think I have ever had a song like Larry’s “The Blue Highway” to attract a question as to who is it?? Larry’s voice I would suggest has been weathered to perfection. He is a superb singer and writer but alas these are his only two albums. You feel he has lived the songs. The sad “When Love Dies” has a real ache to it. The second album even has an uptempo honky tonk belter “Honky Tonk Two Steppin’ Beer Drinkin’ Saturday Night” & what better way to show his great voice than with a definitive reading of the Paul Siebel classic “Louise”. Don’t miss them. Jackson, Stonewall & Friends A Tribute $35 23 track tribute with a virtual who’s who guests list…just to rattle off some: Grandpa Jones, Little Jimmy Dickens, The Whites, Riders in the Sky, Hal Ketchum, John Conlee, Joe Diffie, Porter Wagoner, Paulette Carlson, Alison Krauss, Connie Smith…come to think of it may be easier to mention who is not there!!! Jansen, Frank My Way or the Highway $40 Staggeringly great album .Frank proves himself a writer of the highest standard on this his second. Stunning. Wonderful style that is so easy yet so country.

Jenkins The Jenkins $25 Record companies are in general a brainless bunch as proved by the fact this album didn’t get a release. It is a gem and featured a mother & two daughters. Sound is superb with a reminder of the Judds & McCarters. Johnson, Don “Ain’t Nothing Like a Jukebox” Hawk Records $35 Like label mate Benny berry Don was one of the great indie artists although I believe this gem may be his only outing. All songs are by co-producer Lonnie Williams and features co production by that brilliant man for all hours, Mike Headrick. If Mike has a hand in it, you guarantee it is good. Hard to believe a label from Northern Ireland was as good as anything in the USA (although recorded in USA!) Jones, David Bridges $30 Was his only album and again hard to believe. Hard core honky tonk which features the fabulous Manuel Brothers, Abe & Joe, who of course toured with that Merle Haggard bloke. Unrelenting superb honky tonk highlighted by the upbeat “I Found a Honky tonk Angel” and the pseudo tearjerker “The Tears Outweigh the Whiskey”. As a guide this is how things happen in the independent world of country music. They bring out an album but it doesn’t get the exposure, I tried to tell somebody once that he was privileged to own a David Jones album because there simply weren’t many of them. Try as I might I could not convince him that Jones was not as well known as Merle Haggard or George Jones…”but he is as good”…no argument there…a classic case of “there but for the grace of God go I”. Jones, George Friends in High Places $25 All duets including Emmylou Harris, Randy Travis, Vern Gosdin (wow!!), Buck Owens, Ricky Van Shelton and more, but hard to beat “IF I Could Bottle This Up” with Shelby Lynne. Jones, George Wine Colored Roses $25 1986 album is very very hard to find on cd and includes classic Jones on “The Right Left Hand” q surprise duet with Patti Page.. “You Never Looked That Good When You Were Mine” and “Ol’ Frank”.Now on a two fer cd, so reduced for those purists. Jones, George Alone Again/Grand Tour $40 2 on 1. “Alone Again” is only available here & is rated one of his very best albums. Jones, George One Woman Man $25 Personal favourite. “Place in the Country”is one of his best unknown songs. Right up there with “He Stopped Lovin’ Her Today” & with the delicious irony he only gets his wish when he is buried! Also includes his hit “Yabba Dabba Do” which is an amazing song about a guy getting tanked (something on which George had done a lot of research ) drinking out of an Elvis decanter of Jim Beam and from a Fred Flintstone glass, which previously held jelly beans. Now if you think that sounds bizarre you are right but George pulls it off. Jones, George You Oughta Be Here With Me $28 This was the last album he did for Epic& it may be his best. Superb songs & he is in absolutely wonderful voice. “Hell Stays Open All Night Long” is about a guy driven away from a relationship. “I Sleep Just Like a Baby” is wickedly witty with the refrain…”I wake Up every Hour & I Cry”. I thought George perhaps in the overall scheme of things has done too many novelty songs. Not so here…these are the wittiest of the lot. Jones, George/ Johnny Paycheck Double Trouble $48 They were 2 of the biggest troublemakers at their peak of troublemaking and with George also at his creative peak. The opener “When You’re Ugly Like Us (You just Naturally Have to be Good)” says it all. A tad strange as it includes some Chuck Berry & Creedence covers. Check out the look on George’s dial. Does that spell trouble or what!! Jones, Geo./Melba Montgomery Vintage Collection $55 20 classics!! Out of print and has all the wonderful United Artists’ label duets.His best duet partner. Jones, George Cup of Loneliness: The Classic Mercury Years 2cds $45 Jones, George Don’t Stop the Music $30 Two out of print albums both out of print with very little duplication. The second actually is chronologically the first with Starday recordings leading on to Mercury. There was a close link between the labels with both featuring George’s rawest hard core honky tonk. 22 tracks on “Don’t Stop the Music” and 48 on the double cd. Jones, George Live at Dancetown USA $55 Amazing album superbly recorded which was on Ace UK label but has been deleted 10 years or so, 26 tracks and over an an hour running time and in great stereo sound. Like the Ernest Tubb below (also from 1965!) this is amazingand George runs through things he haswritten (“Window Up Above”/ “RaggedBut Right”/ “Accidentally on Purpose”)as well as songs by Dickey Lee(“SheThinks I Still Care”) Harlan Howard,Melba Montgomery etc. Although not aregular “Jones boy” Buddy Emmons joins the band for this set. Also DonAdams (not Max Smart!) acts as the leader of the Jones’ Boys & duets withGeorge on Melba Montgomery’s “We Must Have Been Out Of Our Mind” as well as a couple of his own leads.Just remembered the classic Jones’ line“We’re gonna take a short liquor-mission I mean intermission”!! Jones, George “Sings Bob Wills” $25 Out of print United Artists cd with Bob’s great tribute cd Jones, George “A Picture of Me (Without You)/ Nothing Ever Hurt Me (Half as Bad as Loving You) $40 This is the first reissue on Koch. Out of print and as good as George gets. Jones, George “Bartender’s Blues” (Razor & Tie) $45 George’s 1978 gem, out of print as most Razor & Tie cds are. Includes some classic ballads, none better than “Ain’t Your Memory Got No Pride at All”, yes oft-covered but nowhere near as good as this,. Kane, Keiran Find My Way Home $25 rare post O’Kanes pre Kane-Welch album. Kanehira, J T “J T Blues” Americana label $48 The ultimate cult classic. As mentioned Alan Jackson’s “New Traditional” was on the Japanese based Americana label. Well J T (which incidentally stands for “Japanese Texan”) is a stablemate of Alan Jackson. This 14 track cd is a must have for its great humour and also for its wonderful music. The session was produced by the greatest steel guitar player of them all, Buddy Emmons, and he is joined by Hargus Robbins on piano, Rob Hajacos on fiddle and Greg Galbraith on guitar. J T’s spirit is in the right place with the opening track being a ripper, “They Call Me Japanese Willie”. Best for me is the track done by the Oak Ridge Boys, “If You’re Gonna Play in Texas (you Gotta Have a Fiddle in the Band”....that is of course after “Japanese Willie” and the title track. A small elite sub section of country music... Japanese country and hell no one is better than J T Kanehira. Kelley, Noah Red Roses After the Rain $18 (Asylum) Never out, which is a pity as it was very good Produced by Kyle Lehning too. 10 tracks. Advance cd with no graphics. Kendalls 20 Favorites $35 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”. Louvin Brothers “When I Stop Dreaming: The Best’ razor & Tie $28 You would think this would be around for ever but it is not, Great sound on this Razor & tie gem and extremely well put together. The complete recordings on the Bear Family box is possibly the only better way to go. Lyda, Jacob My Dreams Just Came True $38 1995 Bob Grady label 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. McCarters The Gift $30 Wonderful debut inc. greatCarl Jackson & Jennifer McCarter track “Letter from Home”. McCarter, Jennifer & McCarters Better Be Home Soon $22 equally as good but the first is very very hard to get. JenniferMcCarter was given top billing on thesecond but the harmonies are the same & slight bluegrass tinged songs are ace! McClain, Charly “Charly McClain” (Mercury) $28 1988 release which is very hard to get. McDaniel, Mel Rockabilly Boy $30 As as ad precursor to the review, Mel passed away recently from cancer. There is no better song than “You Can’t Play the Blues in An Air conditioned Room”!!!! McDaniel, Mel Country Pride $30 Great album on the defunct DPI label from 1991, and I believe the flast 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 Now You’re Talking $38 1988 capitol album produced by Jerry Kennedy. All good songs including the top 10 “Real Good Feel Good Song” and one you will get the gist of by the title “Sunday Morning Preachers”. Very hard to get this one. McEntire, Reba Oklahoma Girl 2cds 40 Mercury tracks.Double cd case with attractive slip sleeve & book $35 (on sale****) Her best & most country. Have one without slip case $20. Both the full 40 tracks. A far cry from today’s diva…this is real! So good in fact that I would defy anyone to readily pick the artist. This is how we like it. She started out a member of a rodeo family who performed at fairs and shows. Kind of an American institution. Hell she was a great country singer. McEntire, Reba “Heart to Heart” $25 McEntire, Reba “Behind the Scene” $25 When Reba recorded for Mercury she was fabulous. When she started on MCA she was fabulous. I’d better stop there in case I mention her current excruciating pop offerings. These 2 early albums from 1982 and 1983 respectively show what a shame the transition has been. McQuaig, Scott Scott McQuaig $30 Haven’t given up hope of a second but won’t hold my breath. And whilst Scott wrote 5 songs on this album, all of which are great his version of “My Friend the Bottle” is as good as that other ode to the inanimate object, Johnny Bush’s version of “Bottle Bottle”. Certainly vintage George Strait fans will (pardon the pun), lap this up. Mack, Bill Sings His Songs $45 Bill Mack has had a long career in radio and as “Radio’s Midnight Cowboy” is a true Texas legend. His best known song overall is “Drinking Champagne” recorded by Cal Smith and George Strait to name a few but he gained infamy as writer of the song “Blue” as recorded by LeeAnn Rimes. Bill includes his original 50s version here & it is a knockout. The other 15 songs were o recent recording. A really top cd. Martin, Mario Keep it on the Country Side $40 This along with the above Mel McDaniel cd was on the now defunct DPI label…now defunct is probably incorrect as it was defunct back then. Produced by James Stroud the amazing thing is that Mario was only 17 at the time. I still think about how this could be his only album. A 17 year old is so darn convincing when he sings honky tonk songs. How could that be.. I don’t know. Still as stunning and as perpelexing (in the sense of where is he now??) As a footnote I would compare him to Scotty McCreery, the winner of American Idol, who I predicted as the winner from his audition. As good as Scotty is, he will not match this album, given the nature of the type of music they record now. And it is superbly produced by James Stroud to boot. Martin, Sonny I’ve Always Been Country $40 Great indie with the saddest song ever on it. “Rock A Bye Baby” makes Little Jimmy Dickens’“Raggedy Ann” seem jolly! Great deep voice to boot. The rest are honky tonk infused delights. But get the Kleenex out. I am not kidding you. Martin, Tony I’ll Meet You in Texas $35 1996 gem on theBob Grady label produced by Mike Headrick. A very Haggard/Bakersfield influenced gem. Martin, Tony “Back to Bakersfield” $40 This 1993 gem was also produced by Mike Headrick and features some wonderful songs by Whitey Shafer, the best probably being “It Must Have Been Something I Drank”. There are also 2 songs from that wonderful artist Benny Berry and the title track is from the Godfather of great independent country music Mike Headrick. Martin, Tony “Little Dutch Maiden” $45 Even harder to get. Also has songs by White y Shafer, opening with the classic tale of excess, “”It’s Much Too Late to Start Quittin’ Now”. Ten of the songs are originals for this album but he also nails the standards “The Bottle Let Me Down” and “Long Black Veil”. An artist who I can’t recommend more highly. Mensy, Tim “Stone By Stone” $28 1990 release by a stunning vocalist, guitarist and songwriter, responsible for all tracks on this Epic label gem. 1990 may have been the best year ever for country music. Miller, Roger Best of Volume One: Country Tunesmith $35 This gem focuses 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. Not hits for Roger which makes it even better & rarer.. Miller, Roger Best Of Volume Two: King of the Road $25. Best single cd of his hits. Long OOP. Great companion to the previous cd. Moffatt, Katy The Greatest Show on Earth $28 This was the original issue but was withdrawn when Ringling Brothers claimed ownership of the title. It isThe best folk country album we have ever had; Katy & Tom Russell havenever done a true duet album but this is a worthy substitute!! When you think in terms of great female folk country artists you think of Emmylou, Iris and Nanci....well so do I BUT I put this album by Katy ahead of them all. Moore, Scotty “Moore Feel Good Music” $35 This is a very hard to get 1992 album which features Scotty along with Carl Perkins, The Jordanaires and Tracy Nelson. Some tracks were recorded in Carl Perkins’ living room. Very hard to get on the Belle Meade label. Morgan, Dennis Attic Chronicles $30 One of most successful songwriters of 70s and 80s and sadly this and the next only ever album as he is an excellent singer. Witty songs. Great tribute to Emmylou, “Sweet Emmylou” plus an original version of the song he hit the biggest with, “I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool”. Wonderful co-write with Shel Silverstein on “Great Big Platinum Record”. Guarantee you will love it. Morgan, Dennis Attic Chronicles Vol 2 $30 I had a shop at Parramatta for 19 years and one day not so long after I opened a guy walked in and picked up a copy of the Bobby Lee Springfield sole album “All Fired Up” (see below). He started to laugh. Now I know a lot of people would laugh at anything but couldn’t figure out why anyone would laugh at old Bobby Lee. Well it seems the laugher was Dennis Morgan himself who was in Australia on an ii-fated writing project that was supposed to see him writing songs with Jimmy Barnes. To cut to the chase this cd contains Dennis Morgan’s own version of “Hank Drank” which was a song he co-wrote on the Bobby Lee Springfield album; he also produced. Another 17 songs that are just dandy, Morgan, George Room Full of Roses: the George Morgan Collection Razor & Tie OOP $35Has a rare duet with Lorrie. Out of print 19 tracker on the Razor & Tie label and only alternate to the huge Bear Family box. Razor & Tie were a great label.

Morse, Ella Mae Capitol Collectors Series $30 21 tracks with a big band R & B flavour but also country. Best ever “Cow Cow Boogie!! Mowrey, Dude “Honky Tonk” $30 Capitol Another early 90s album. Produced by Jimmy Bowen this albums is marked by the great songs. Highlight are two great songs by Curtis Wright, “Cowboys Don’t Cry” and “If I Ever Love Again”. Made one more album which is best left alone as much as this one should be grabbed. Nelson, Leo Under Neon Lights $50 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, Leo Heavy for You $35 This was Leo’s debut It isn’t quite as good, but that is probably due to the fact it wasn’t produced by Mike Headrick. The producer, Steve Brown contributes a couple of songs which are probably the best, but believe it or not Leo does a sensational job of “Desperado”.

Nelson, Willie A Horse Called Music $30 Nelson, Willie Born For Trouble $30 Nelson, Willie Who’ll Buy My Memories: The IRS Tapes $35 2cds Some of Willie’s very best CBS albums. 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 Skip Ewing could not be more different style wise but are equally stunning. The following “Born for Trouble’ also starts out with a jaunty Beth Nielsen Chapman 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’.

O’Kanes O’Kanes $40 Their stunning debut with classics“Oh Darlin’” and the bluegrass like romp “Oh Lonesome You”. Long long deleted. O’Kanes Tired of the Running $35 Second album from Keiran Kane & Jamie O’Hara is also hardest to get. Blind accordionist Jay Spell is superb. O’Kanes Imagine That $25 Third and final cd from 1990.

Owens, Buck Hot Dog $28 His first of three Capitol label comeback albums. Includes the title song which he originally recorded ubder the alias “Corky Jones” and what’s more this sounds even better Owens, Buck Kickin’ In $28 Second of his comeback albums which one connoisseur told me were as good as anything that Buck had ever recorded. Includes A team members Reggie Young on guitar and ex Rick & Elvis piano pounder Glen D Hardin...not to mention Gram Parsons. Oxford, David David Oxford $70 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!! Pacheco, Tom Eagle in the Rain (Round Tower) $35 This is the best of Tom’s albums which is really saying something. “Robert & Ramona” is a great storyline along same as “Thelma & Louisa”. “The Last Blue Whale in the Ocean” has a twist you could only expect in a Tom Pacheco song. “Just a Little Bullet” has some graphic and horrible images despite its childlike style. Brilliant artist. Pacheco, Tom Sunflowers & Scarecrows $25 (Round Tower) Another 15 songs of tragedy & mirth as one Tom Pacheco can present them. Best may be “Hippy on the Highway”. Parker, Billy & Friends $38 Two albums on the one cd as issued by Bear Family, but it is now out of print. Originally recorded in 1982, the line up is great with the likes of Cal Smith, Darrell McCall, Ernest Tubb and Webb Pierce being just some of those who serve as his duet partners. 21 tracks in all. Paycheck, Johnny Mr Hag Told My Story $70 This Epic album redefined Paycheck’s standing. He was painted as an outlaw but this was stunning & right up there with his Little Darlin’ Stuff. Haggard did 3 duets and unlike many tribute cds he went for the lesser known songs. His duet with Haggard on “I’m Turning Off a Memory” will amaze. Incidentally the great Benny Berry does a fabulous version of that song on his debut album as well. Paycheck, Johnny Survivor $30 His last hurrah, out of printw. the highlight “I Can’t Quit Drinking”. Also issued as “I’m a Survivor” ($25). One copy of each. Pennington,R/Buddy Emmons Swinging by Request $35 Going Out Swingin’ $35 Ray Pennington was honcho of Step One Records, a Nashville independent label which had a wonderful roster. He was also a fine Ray price inspired vocalist & as many steel players would say BuddyEmmons is the best ever. The Step One House band, so to speak, was none too shabby with Rob Hajacos on fiddle, Bobby All on acoustic guitar and Bunky Keels on piano. This has 21 tracks & Clinton Gregory is an excellent vocalist on 2 tracks. They are a mix of vocal& instrumentals, with “Little Brown Jug” featuring some extraordinary steel from Mr Emmons. The second cd is equally great and includes Curtis Potter as a guest on 2 tracks. “Swing & Other Things” is a great 21 tracker which sources the songs from country, jazz & pop sources. The final cd is very rare but has a small sticker mark on the front cover Perkins, Carl & Scotty Moore “A Sentimental Journey: 706 Reunion” $35 Recorded at the Sun Studios in Memphis featuring 15 tracks with introductions. Some Sun classics and new songs as well. Last recordings of the great Carl Perkins. Pinkard & Bowden “Gettin’ Stupid” $48 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”. 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 John Denver’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 “Delta Dawn”, along with all people, Larry Collins of the Collins Kids. They are both excellent singers and Tim Wilson’s “Songs for the Musically Disturbed” (And who doesn’t) this is better. Planet Rockers Hillbilly Beat $30 featuring the great Sonny George. Despite being labelled a rockabilly album it still contains enough of Sonny’s great hillbilly baritone. Price, Ray Portrait of a Singer $50 Price, Ray Step One Records “Hall of Fame” $40 Price, Ray Just Enough Love $45 (Step One) Price, Ray Heart of Country Music $50 Now Ray’s albums on Step One were all special. Some 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. Just Enough Love features of all things Ray’s version of “Wind Beneath My Wings”. He could make the telephone box sound interesting. Also has a great version of Harlan Howard’s “Better Class of Losers” (see below John Schneider)/ Price, Ray Sometimes a Rose $28 1992 album which has some wonderful songs none better than “Not a Dry Eye in the House”. Stunning singer. Price, Ray “The Other Woman” $30 (Koch) Originally released in 1965 this is one of Ray’s best honky tonk efforts with classics such as “This Cold War With You” , “Born to Lose” & a glorious rendition of Willie’s “Funny How Time Slips Away” Prosser, James “Life Goes On” $40 Warner Brothers This was symptomatic of the time. Both this and the following did not get a release. 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. I said you can’t pick that as it was never relased...he said “I don’t care!”. I think he may have been right. Randall, Jon Cold Coffee Morning $45 This never made it to release. We have an advance with front and rear graphics but no notes. The strange thing is that Randall has had 3-4albums that did make it to the street and none are within a mile of this gem. He does one duet with then wife Lorrie Morgan and does a duet with Willie Nelson on the fabulous “Reno & Me” & is joined on the chorus by his ex boss Emmylou Harris. Stunningly good.

Reeves, Del Silver Anniversary Album $30. This is a fun album in which Del puts his well known skills as an impersonator to use on “AchyBreaky Heart” as sung by Roy Acuff, Walter Brennan & Johnny Cash among others. It works!! He is also an excellent singer with Charlie Sizemore’s “I’m Really Gone” being a true highlight. Rich, Charlie Pictures & paintings $28 His wonderful last album on Warner Brothers is just as much jazz and blues as country. Shown with a lighted cigarette we wonder if it was perhaps lit with the same lighter he set fire to the envelope with when he announced John Denver as Male Vocalist of the year in the early 70s! I wonder what Charlie would do nowadays; probably burn the whole place down and who could blame him. Back to the album, this is just stunning and a fitting farewell album. Riley, Jeannie C “Here’s Jeannie C” (Playback) $28 Short but excellent album on same label as Tommy Cash. This would be the last recordings the delightful lady made. Ritter, Tex Capitol Collectors Series $38 Out of print series, of which I would recommend every title as being essential. This has all the hard to get ones, “Deck of Cards”, “Blood on the Saddle” & “Just Beyond the Moon” etc 25 in all. 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. Robertson, Kathy At the Cantina $38 guests including Bonnie Owens and Leona Williams who feature on “Leona”. Also has Chris Gaffney & Katy Moffatt & Rosie Flores & Big Sandy. Kathy first appeared on the Town South of Bakersfield cd. Her albums are next to impossible to find now. Always great. Robertson, Kathy To Roy Nichols With Love $40 inc. Bonnie Owens, Chris Gaffney, Rosie Flores etc. Robertson, Kathy Hillbilly Down: To Roy Nichols With Love 2 $40 (Includes Haggard!, Rick Shea, Katy Moffatt) Rogers, Roy Tribute $28 Roy’s final hurrah was indeed a fitting one with great duets and Roy was in fine voice. He yodelled surprisingly well especially on the opening “That’s How the West was Swung” in which he was joined by the Kentucky Headhunters. Equally fine is “Little Joe the Wrangler” with Emmylou and another yodelling gem, “When Payday Rolls Around” with Ricky Van Sheltoin. 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!! Run C & W “Into the Twangy First Century” MCA $25 Run C & W “Row Vs Wade” MCA $25 This was a group consisting of the great Amazing Rhythm Aces vocalist, Russell Smith, Bernie Leadon (of Eagles & Flying burrito Brothers Fame), Vince Melamed and Jim Photoglo. Ostensibly they did bluegrass versions of soul and R&B classics. The fact they copuld pull it off was testimony to their musical skill A couple of medleys are super. Sahm, Doug SDQ 98 $45 A blink & you will miss itgem as the record company went outof business shortly after release. It isright up there with his “Return ofWayne Douglas” cd and he keeps itpretty much country all the way. Greatversion Tom Russell’s “St Olav’s Gate”& “Ballad of Davy Crockett” Includes hisgreat colleague Augie Meyers. Sandefur, Brandon “Brandon Sandefur” $30 (Tin Hall) This 1995 album was the first of only 2 albums from Brandon and easily the best. It covers a range of styles from rodeo (“Star in the Rodeo” to pure honky tonk “Hell Just Froze”. Sanford, Arnold That’s Why I Sing This Way $70 Many rate this the best indie ever and they are certainly on the right track. The first 10songs 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. Schneider, John “Take the Long Way Home” MCA $35 Schneider, John “You Ain’t Seen the Last of Me” MCA $30 Schneider, John “Too Good to Stop Now” $30 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. The first has a wonderful highlight, “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. The other 2 are equally essential. Great songwriting and great singing. “Low Class Reunion” from the third album shows what a great vocalist Schneider is.

Scott, Jack Capitol Collectors Series $38 Fabulous 23 tracker with a mix of upbeat and ballads. Even has 4 unreleased tracks. As far as the ballads go none is better than “What in the World’s Come Over You” and “Burning Bridges”. A very much underappreciated artist. Everyone should have this cd in their collection,. Seekers– “Capitol Collectors Series” $25 This is here for 2 reasons. The first is the sound. Despite being a US pressing the quality of this vastly exceeds anything that has ever been put out in Australia. Secondly the selection is beyond reproach, 25 tracks including several with added studio talk included. Also has Bruce Woodley’s co-write wit hPaul Simon…”Red Rubber Ball”, a hit for Bobby Vee among others. Shafer, Sanger D “Whitey” I Never Go Around Mirrors $35 10 tracker by the writer of many of Lefty Frizzell hits who also sounds a lot like Lefty. He of course was responsible for the title song and does a top version of “Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind”. The rest are great honkytonkers that should be as well known as these two. Shafer, Sanger D “Whitey” So Good So Long $35 The opener “All My Ex’s Live in Texas”, written by Whitey is of course a classic but to me the jewel is “Heaven Was a Drink of Wine”, which was done superbly by Hank Cochran on an lp called “With a Little Help From My Friends”. Well friends, Whitey does even better. An absolute drinking song classic “…tonight I went to hell …and heaven was a drink of wine”. Can’t get better honky tonk singing than this. Shaver, Billy Joe Salt of the Earth $30 Cd issue of great 1987 album inc “The Devil Made Me Do It” Shearer, Charlie “Breakin’ Out” $30 A gem again with production by the very talented Curt Ryle and also wrote quite a few of the songs. So good in fact that Mike Headrick would be proud of this one!! Smith, Russell This Little Town $35 Great solo album Amazing Rhythm Aces vocalist. All great and what a voice. Russell had a brief period as a country singer on Epic and this was the result, a gem produced by Steve Buckingham and Russell. Very much in the Amazing Rhythm Aces style. Highlight is the working man song “Blue Collar Blues” and the title song, but they’re all top notch. Smith,Sammi Best $25 Now out of print Smith,Sammi Here Comes That Rainbow Again $30 Rare independent album on the Playback label. The title track is of course a Kris Kristofferson 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!! Sonnier, Jo-El Complete Mercury Sessions $30. Great collection which mixes his Cajun style with some very hardcore honky tonk. Springfield, Bobby Lee All Fired Up $35 An absolute ripsnorter. Crazed man who apparently got arrested for climbing over theWhite House fence in order to visit the President, presumably Ronny Regan. Buthis honky tonk style which includes theoriginal “Hank Drank” is grand. Also includes a brilliant version of EddyArnold’s “What’s He Doing in My World” with intro by Eddy hisself!! . Sun, Joe - Heartbreak Saloon $40 Sun, Joe – Hank Bogart Still Lives $40 Sun, Joe – Out on the Road $40 Was a major label artist who had a big hit with Hugh Moffatt’s “Old Flames Can’t Hold a Candle to You”. His style is kind of outlawish, a little like a Hank Jnr but less frantic. Very hard to get, these were released on the French label, Dixie Frog...fear not all the singing is in English. The song on the middle album is actually called “Hank & Bogart Still Live” but the titlew is without the “and”. One offs so don’t dally. Sweet, Ron Ten in Tennessee $50 Another wonderful indie with the highlight the wonderful odeto the great man “I Play Haggard” in which he uses snippets of Haggard songs to tell the story. He outdoes even Vern Gosdin onhis version “Baby That’s Cold” and then shows himself a man for all seasons with the rollicking “Ten in Tennessee”. Taylor, Chip Chip Taylor’s Last Chance $45 Long out of print cd version of his classic album which features “I Read it in the Rolling Stone” plus the great “101 in Cashbox” which combines the story of his own version of “Angel of the Morning” along with the tale of a racehorse. Thompson, Hank Golden Era of Capitol Country $35 This is a great 20 track Japan issue (in English of course) with great sound & a rather unusual set of songs which avoids the usual. Thompson, J W Songs for Real People $45 We speak of thetruly great independents. This is decidedlyone of them. “Jesus Loves Cowboys” is just 1 of16 gems. Darn witty too and J W’s great deep drawl is seemingly the product of a few honkytonks….where you could imagine the crowd were kep back by wire. Thompson, Jeff Jeff Thompson $40 No, not that Thommo, but a fine singer who was going to have the first album release on the Arista country label but the album never came out. Has a style reminiscent of Ricky Van Shelton with a great deep voice. Does a superb version of “The Greatest Man I Never Knew”, a hit for Reba, but Jeff wins hands down!! Equally grand is the wonderful “It’s a Good Thing I Don’t Love You Anymore”, with a superb lyric and the upbeat “Today is Elvis’ Birthday”. Thornton, Marsha Marsha Thornton $40 Includes the original and easily best version of “Bottle of Wine & Patsy Cline” One of the last albums produced by Owen Bradley & yes Patsy fans love it. Thornton, Marsha Maybe the Moon Will Shine. Second of only 2 is equally good. Gets away from Patsy influence. $25 Tubb, Ernest Live 1965 $28 OOP on Rhino this likeGeorge Jones’ Dancetown showed 1965as a vintage year for live recording even though both were not issued at the time.His band included both Jack Greene & Cal Smith. The sound is stunning and highlights ET’s great personality and style.

Turner, Zeb Tennessee Boogie & Jersey Rock $30 King label anthology 1949-1953. On the now defunct Westside label. 24 tracks.

Wade, Norman Tennessee Eyes $60 1993’s Album of the Year was the first cd for Norm...you would imagine though he would be universally refererred to as “Norman”. This gem was on the Bob Grady label & was superbly produced by Bob & Mike Headrick. There may not ne 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 in..I only have one.

Wagoner, Porter Greatest Hits $30 20 tracker with great and unusual selection including of course “RubberRoom” but also “What Would You Do, If Jesus Came to Your House”) Wagoner, Porter In Person $30 OOP cd of 1964 album, reissued on Koch. It includes some great performances by Norma Jean, both in a solo context and as duets with Porter. Walker, Jerry Jeff Live at Gruehne Hall $30 Original 1989 Tried & True album through Ryko. It was right after JJW befriended Chris Wall & hedoes the song that was even featured byIan McNamara, “I Feel Like Hank WilliamsTonight”. He concludes with a raucous version of “Trashy Women”. Gruehne, pronounced “Green”, is a small town between Austin and San Antonio which has a rustic charm like no other & which translates brilliantly to live shows. Wall, Chris No Sweat $28 Great Texas artist’s album from way back in 1991, on the Tried & True label through Ryko, Great Texas honky tonk again everyone who hears…does like. Wall, Chris Tainted Angel $30 Reckless Kelly prove an excellent backing group on this album. Contains one of his best ever songs in “God’s Own Jukeboxx”. “Roadhouse Whiskey and the great story ballad “My Old Martin Guitar”. Could it be his best. Methinks perhaps!! Wall, Chris, Honky Tonk Heart $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”. Wall, Chris Just Another Place $28 The Cosmic Cowboy reckons this one is his best Wall, Chris Any Saturday Night in Texas $30 Classic live honky tonk album like the previously mentioned Jerry Jeff opus recorded at Gruehne Hall. Dale Watson is duet partner on teh fabulous “Ship Me Back to Texas” Watson, Gene Back in the Fire $48 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” Watson, Gene The Good Old days $30 Step One with a superb selection excellently produced by Ray Pennington who also contributed 4 Songs. Like all Step One releases this is out of print. 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 following album”. Watson, Gene In Other Words $45. This was a hard to get (even at the time) cd on the Broadland label. All10 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”. Was a Canadian only release. You won’t find it. Watson, Gene “Little By Little” MCA $25 Straight reissue of a great 1984 MCA album. Highlight is probably the Dave Kirby/sonny Throckmorton gem”Leavin’s Been Comin’ (For a Long Long Time”. 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!! Watson, Gene At Last $28 His second and last Warner Brothers album from 1991. The title track is a classic and anyone who has heard Etta James version may say “Etta who?” after hearing Gene’s. Great selection with highlights many, but the witty “You Can’t Get Arrested in Nashville” and “This Country’s Bigger Than Texas” stand out for mine. Wayne, Dallas Part of the Crew $35 Wayne, Dallas Lucky 13 $30 Wayne, Dallas Buckle Up Baby $35 Three of Dallas’ out of print Finnish albums....he lived in Finland for a number of years. And had many releases. The latter features great tunes such as “Crank the Hank”, “Death in the Family”, “I Never Did Like Planes” and “She”. They are all great. His command on both George Jones style ballads and uptempo songs a la Travis Tritt may be unsurpassed in country music. These are one offs so do not miss out whatever you do. Whitley, Keith I Wonder Do You Think of Me $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. Whitley, Keith Kentucky Bluebird $28 15 tracks not on his other albums. Augmented with some historical and rare clips. Whitley, Keith Tribute $25A gem put out by hisl 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, Joe Diffie 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. Wild Rose Listen to your Heart $28 Wild Rose Straight & narrow $28 Wild Rose Breaking New Ground $28 Fantastic upbeat all gal group with Pam Gadd on lead vocals & Wanda Vick onguitar & just about everything else.Kind of a bluegrass supergroup playing hard core country….superbly. Williams, Hank Rare Demos First to Last $25 CMF Also known as “Just Me and My Guitar”. Young, Faron Live Fast Love Hard: Original Capitol Classics 1952-1962 $28 Country Music Foundation label Young, Faron & Ray Price Memories That Last $28 Great cd which was on the great Step One label. Excellently produced by Ray Pennington, who actually duets with Faron on one of the tracks, seems Ray Price’s master vocal had a tape glitch. Fine stuff Various

Are You From Dixie Great Country Brother Teams of the 1930s $30 Ragged But Right Great Country String Bands of the 1930s $30 Something Got a Hold on Me: A Traesury of Sacred Music $30 These were part of the short-lived RCA Heritage Series and they were all superb. I have all three myself and if you want 1930s country in its best sound these are they. The first features the Blue Sky Boys version of the oft covered title song as well as their wonderfully sad original of “I’m Here to Get My Baby Out of Jail”.Also includes likes of the Dixon Brothers, Allen Brothers, Monroe Brothers, Delmore Brothers etc. The second features Riley Puckett on the title song, and gems from the Prairie Ramblers, JE Mainers etc, but possible star is Gid Tanner with original version, as we know it, of “Ida Red” and “Soldier’s Joy”. The third is my favourite though all are equally essential. It has the original versions of classic gospel songs that have been performed over and over but never as heartfelt as here. On that front Grady & Hazel Cole’s “Tramp on your Street” will bring goosebumps. A P carter takes a rare lead on “Something Got a Hold on Me” and the Dixon Brothers may have been grammatically incorrect but who cares as they nail “I Didn’t Hear Nobody Pray”. Again, the sound on all three is stunning. Big Rig Hits Truck Driver’s Boogie 1939-69 $35 A great cd which encapsulates a history of that greatsub-genre the trucking song. Compiled jointly by CMF & Diesel only records. First is“Truck Driver’s Blues” by Cliff Bruner with Moon Mullican on vocals. Heart of Texas Country This was a 1998 cd on Justin Trevino’s Neon Nightmare label which was a precursor rto the wonderful label of the same name. 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. $28 Ned Kelly Sountrack $28 Out of print soundtrack which features Shel Silverstein songs as well as performances by Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings and Mick Jagger (Ned) all of which are only available on this album. Rig Rock Deluxe A Musical Salute to the American Truck Driver $30 16 tracks which feature new singers & old.Possible highlight is Junior Brown teaming with Red Simpson on “Nitro Express”. Also includes one of Buck Owens last recordings, Steve Earle etc. Shuffletown Western Swing on King 1946-1960 $25 Westside label...out of print. 24 tracks

BEAR FAMILY NEWS Unchallenged as the best reissue label on the planet.

Just in Red Simpson “Hello I’m Red Simpson” 5cd + 108 pg hard cover book. $210 165 tracks, most on cd for the first time and including 26 previously unissued. One of the greatest of the Bakersfield brigade, known for his trucking songs, even though not exclusively trucking. Bob Dylan is a big fan and calls him “the forgotten man of Bakersfield”. Country rock fans rate his “Close Up teh Honky Tonks “ as one of the greatest songs of that genre. Buck & Merle recorded over 40 of his songs.

Connie Smith “Just For What I Am” 5 cd + 76 page book $210 151 tracks just under 7 hours of one of the greatest female country singers, who Dolly Parton rates as the greatest female country singer.

Sheb Wooley “White Lightnin’: Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight” $32 30 tracks from the MGM label with backing by the best the West Coast had to offer such as Jimmy Bryant & Speedy West. Mostly from the 40s and 50s with the exception of “That’s My PA” from 1962. 73 ½ minutes. I wonder if the lady who was after a cd of “Shed” Wooley is still around.

Wade Ray “Idaho Red: Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight” $32 Although a country musician and long time member of Willie’s backing band in the 60s he began as a hot Western swing fiddler & bandleader. He had a big hit with the truckin’ oriented title song. 30 songs in all, just under 75 minutes

It also includes what may be Dolly Parton’s earliest recording, when she duets with Bill on “If It’s All the Same to You”.

The Browns “The Three Bells” 8 cd + 40 page book $270 I love this set. Glorious Nashville Sound recorded in the famous RCA studio, 249 tracks which sound simply fabulous. I honestly can’t believe how good they sound. The hits are all there but tracks such as “Teen-Ex” are phenomenal. You’d swear they were in the room...matter of fact I check round just to make sure.

One of the greatest hard country singers from teh Ray Price school 9. Maddox,Rose The One Rose 4cd+ book $90 Hard to believe that Rose is not in the Hall of Fame as she is unquestionably the most versatile vocalist in country music history...at least as far as the females go. She made a classic bluegrass album, which included Bill Monroe, was untouched as far as honky tonky goes, could even do some rockabilly, yet sensitive gospel was no challenge. Great 10.

Rogers, Roy & Sons of the Pioneers “The Complete Recordings 1934-1943 6cds + incredible 160 page hard cover book. $160.

Here we get both; the Sons of Pioneers first recordings with Len Slye on vocals and guitar and then as an early solo star who adapted the name Roy Rogers. He had a distinctive vocal style and his yodelling was stunning. “Black Sheep Blues” will always be my favourite track but there are so many it is not funny. 182 tracks. 14. Snow, Hank Singing Ranger Volume 1 4cds + Book $80. Hank’s first American recordings included many gems such as “I’m Movin’ On” as well as his first recordings with Anita Carter, including “Bluebird Island”.

The perfect start for any Porter Wagoner collection. 20. Various Atomic Platters “Cold War Music from the Golden Age of Home land Security” 5cds + DVD plus massive 292 lp size hard cover book. The theme of the set is the paranoia that existed. It includes ever anti communist song, both serious and of a jocular nature. It also has every known cicil defence spot.

Whatever Willie had before he went on stage really worked as this is the best live performance of Willie I have ever heard. It includes Johnny Gimble on fiddle and the highlight is “Bloody Mary Morning/ Take Me Back to Tulsa”. Actually it would have just started out as “Bloody Mary Morning” but i develops into a jam and Willie plays the wildest solo you’d ever hear.

Woodys Telluride to Tennessee $20 (Everett) Yoakam, Dwight Guitars Cadillacs 20th Anniversay 2cd $22

American Murder Ballads $20 2 cds with 50 tracks, mostly country with some blues and folk. Soem people don’t realise how violent songs can be...imagine how it would have been had they had wood chippers in those days.

Appalachian Stomp (Rhino USA) $18 Bluegrass classics covering a cross section of bluegrass greats .18 tracks may be a tad unnecessary for the hard core bluegrass fan but otherwise an excellent introduction with 16 page booklet. As Good As It Gets Series .This was an excellent series brought out by EMI Holland. Sound is superb and great value with each being 2 cds and some 50 tracks. **Bluegrass $18 52 tracks covering Flatt & Scruggs, Jim & Jesse, Bill Monroe, Hylo Brown, Rose Maddox, extracted from her superb bluegrass albnum, Green River Valley Boys with Glen Campbell, Mac Wiseman etc. **Hillbilly $18 Really fine cross section of 52 tracks. Great for intro to the genre but with enough for the hardcore fan. Includes Roy Rogers, Johnny Bond, Hank, Ernest Tubb, Vernon Dalhart, Ted Daffan, Merle Travis, Jimmie Davis etc. **Cajun $18 49 tracks which are suited to both the novice and connoisseur. Pioneers such as Balfa Brothers & Harry Choates plus classics from D L Menard and Rufus Thibideaux (pronounced Tibby-Doe). **Skiffle $18 Whopping 61 tracks. Mainly UK artists linking country music with folk and often a rockabilly feel. As expected includes some Lonnie Donegan but also Vipers, Johnny Duncan (the UK one), Chas McDevitt, Barnstormers, Chris Barber, Don Lang, etc. **Western swing $18 52 tracks which uses a bit if poetic licence in that it includes some Patsy Montana, but in fairness she is backed by the Prairie Ramblers but has a wide variation and some rarities to give widespread appeal such as Bob Dunn’s Vagabonds with the revolutionary “Stompin’ at the Honky Tonk” and the Modern Mountaineers featuring the great Moon Mullican on “Pipeliner’s Blues”. Pretty low in numbers for Bob Wills so great variety. Beverly Hillbillies Cast Album $20 (CBS) When it debuted the tv show rated the highest in US and is still one of the funniest most enduring comedies ever. To capitalise the cast made this album. It features them doing 12 songs plus the Flatt & Scruggs title song. For mine Max Baer Jnr as Jethro Bodine is perhaps the funniest character ever and his contributions are great especially the duet with Jed on “A Long Talk With That Boy”. Mr Drysdale is great on the song “Love of Money”. Produced by CBS long time country icon Don Law. Beverly Hillbillies Soundtrack $15 (RCA) It would have been a hard job to give the roles to others so this movie was hit and miss. Erika Eleniak was great though as Elly-Mae, perhaps because she was a former Playboy centrefold! The album features new artists doing old songs and is very strong. Includes a terrifc Hank Williams’ take by Aaron Tippin on “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” whilst Lorrie Morgan is great on “Crying Time”, Doug Supernaw on “Together Again” and Ricky Van Shelton on “If You Got the Money”. Joe Diffie energetic on “White Lighnin’” Country Bluegrass and Mountain Music 3cds $18 60 tracks Nice overview. Get With the Beat: The Marvel Masters $20 (Ryko) Great 27 tracker on a major distributed label of a very obscure label which drew the line between hillbilly & rockabilly and combined the two. Originally on the Cowboy Carl label on lp. Mar-vel Records began just south of Chicago in the 40s. As it stands the best known artist on this label was Bobby Sisco so you could certainly expect some true unknowns. Sisco is great on “Honky Tonkin’ Rhythm”, which has slappin’ bass in the rockabilly style but takeoff steel guitar in the hillbilly style. Includes great tracks from Jack Bradshaw, Bobby Burton, Shorty Ashford, Ginny Carter, Ronnie Durbin etc. A great label of authentic hillbilly. Hank: the Lost Notebooks (Sony) $15 Lost songs set to music for first time with Dylan, Alan Jackson, Norah Jones etc Hillbilly Fever Volume 4 Legends of West Coast (Rhino) $18 Out of print overview on the great label, with 16 page booklet. The great thing is they do not include the usual tracks West Coast edition has the likes of Ferlin Husky, Haggard, Jean Shepard, Tommy Collins etc. Hillbilly Fever! The Preston Story Volume 3 (Canetoad) $15 30 tracks recorded at Melbourne’s Preston Studio featuring independent Melbourne artists many with a rockabilly bent. Mama’s Hungry Eyes: Tribute to Merle Haggard (Arista) $20 with Alan Jackson, Emmylou, Vince Gill, Willie, randy Travis, Marty Stuart etc . Mark Twain: Words & Music $20 with Vince Gill, Emmylou, Skggs, Paisley, Diffie, Buffett etc and...... Clint Eastwood....Make my day!! Memphis Ramble: A Sun Country Collection $18 (Rhino) 18 tracks with only one track of each featured artists though it opens and closes with different versions of Warren Smith’s “So Long I’m Gone”. Includes a Cash and Jerry Lee track but also Charlie Feathers, Hardrock Gunter, Malcolm Yelvington, Carl Perkins, Mack Self, Miller Sisters, Doug Poindexter etc. Nod to Bob 2 $18 (Red House) Another 16 tracks on the Red House label this time for Bob’s 70th birthday. Includes John Gorka, Lucy Kaplansky, Eliza Gilkyson, Cliff Eberhardt, Robin & Linda Williams, Jimmy Lafave, Peter Ostroushko etc Old Faithful: Songs from the Saddle $20 (Jasmine) 27 tracks about horses and horseriding. Compiled by a UK resident, Paul Hazell, who spent best part of a decade here in the 90s and fell in love with early Australian country music; Aussie artists on this include Les Wilson, Buddy Williams, June Holms, Smoky Dawson, Tim Mcnamara, Tex Morton plus favourites such as Wilf Carter, Rex Allen, Carson Robison, Roy Rogers, Texas Jim Robertson, Elton Britt, Bob Atcher etc. Pearls in the Snow: The Songs of Kinky Friedman $20 One of the best tributes, with a fabulous lineup Dwight Yoakam (“Rapid City South Dakota”), Tompall Glaser (“Get Your Biscuits in the Oven”), Kinky himself doing a wonderful song about Marilyn Monroe and her actual but hard to understand love of Joe Dimaggio (“Marilyn & Joe”…brilliant), Lee Roy Parnell sounding uncannily like Merle Haggard (“Nashville Casualty & Life”). That’s for starters as it also includes Delbert McClinton, Asleep at the Wheel, Guy Clark, Marty Stuart, Lyle Lovett (“Sold American”) Billy Swan and even Tom Waits!!! A must. Onje of best ever. Real: The Tom T Hall Project $20 Another great cd with a mix of well known and lesser known artists. It is all good but Johnny Cash “I Washed My Face in the Morning Dew” and Iris Dement’s “I Miss a Lot of Trains” are hard to beat. The rest is mainly alternate country artists who sometimes believe in being weird just for the heck of it BUT not here. In fact Joe Henry’s “Homecoming” may be the best track. 17 tracks in all. Red Hot Rockabilly Pt 1 $15 30 tracks mainly from Imperial. Similar lineup to the following though this one includes legendary Texas dj, Bill Mack, and a great track in “Play My Boogie”. Red Hot Rockabilly Pt 2 $15 31 tracks from Imperial and other Emi controlled labels. Brought out by EMI Holland. Includes Merle Kilgore, Ricky nelson, Bob Luman, the great Lew Williams, Eddie Cochran, Laura Lee Perkins etc. Rig Rock Truck Stop: Another Collection of Diesel Only records $15 20 tracks from a label that essentially released singles of truck driving songs. The two others in this were “Rig Rock Jukebox” and “Rig Rock Deluxe”. Best truck , woops that would be track…is by the Five Chinese Brothers (who are neither Chinese or brothers) and it is a wonderful infatuation song about a waitress appropriately called “She’s a Waitress”. Lots of wit and good songs. Silver Meteor: A Progressive Country Anthology $20 One of the best ever compilations of country rock based around the album that guitar legend Clarence White was working on when he was killed by a drunken driver in a car park whilst loading his car for a gig. His 4 tracks from that unreleased album open the set and include likes of Everly Brothers…”I’m on My Way Back Home Again” and “The Cuckoo”, both only on this, Barbara Keith, with the much covered “Bramble & the Rose”, Paul Siebel, Rusty Young (with Clarence White), Ian Matthews, Red Rhodes, Country Gazette etc. Songs from Chippy (Hollywood) $15 Joe ely, Terry Allen, Butch Hancock, Wayne Hancock (no relation and his first recordings), Robert Earl Keen etc Songs of Dwight Yoakam: A Benefit for the Homeless Mercury $20 14 artists interpret what are generally Dwight’s lesser known songs. Includes David Ball, Sara Evans, Tim O’Brien, Lonesome Strangers, Rhonda Vincent etc. Starday Dixie Rockabilly Volume 2 $20 (Ace UK) Starday, the label owned and ran by Pappy Daily had the offshoot Dixie label where artists could pay for recordings to be made. Starday also included the Pep label and this cd begins with a 2 song selection from Corky Jones, a name chosen by Alvis Owens, who was better known as Buck Owens. “Hot Dog” is featured here and is a frantic workout. When Buck chose this as the title song for his comeback album it varied surprisingly little to this version. Also includes selections from Lattie Moore and Joe Poovey and YES…they are the best known artists! Straight Out of Boone County: Cowboy Songs/Home Songs/ Western Songs/ Mountain Songs $15 (Bloodshot) Bloodshot Records is a hit and miss label. This is a hit with new artists doing older songs even though the legendary Hardrock Gunter with the Dalhart Imperials doing the Hank Penny classic “Won’t You Ride in My Little Red Wagon”. 20 tracks in all. . Texas Reunion $18 This was put together by Skinny Don Keeling a 40 year old veteran of the Austin Music Scene and includes vocals by Skinny Don, Don Walser (aka as not so skinny Don), Justin Trevino, Jason Roberts etc and a great steel guitar duet between Scott Walls (who has backed Dale Watson and is now in the fabulous Cornell Hurd Band) and Jimmy Day. This One’s For You: Guy Clark Tribute $25(Musicroad Records) See review. We have only one solitary copy at this price 2 cd. Touch My Heart: A Tribute to Johnny Paycheck $18 The good is great and the bad…not really…although I never warm to the wacky and seemingly ordinary Neko Case. But with George Jones “She’s All I Got”, Hank III’s “I’m the Only Hell My Mama Ever Raised”, Johnny Bush’s sublime “Apartment Number 9”, Dave Alvin’s “11 Months & 29 Days” a duet between Gail Davies and Robbie Fulks on “Shakin’ the Blues” and maybe the best of them all, Dallas Wayne “I Did the Right Thing” you know you are on a winner. Also includes the great Larry Cordle, a songwriter who is a great recording artist as well. Town South of Bakersfield I&II $20 There were 3 volumes altogether and this collects the first 2. essentially it is Los Angeles based artists (hence witty title), many of whom performed at the legendary Palomino Club, now I believe a restaurant, but in its day the place where everyone went when in California. Many of the artists have gone on to have successful recording careers but these selections are only available on here. Not all are well known and in fact a cover of “Mister Love”, a Wilburn Brothers song, by Re Winkler (pronounced Ray) and done in an amazing Ernest Tubb like voice is easily my favourite. But hard to resist Candye Kane’s “Tell Me a Lie”, Lucinda Williams’ “Dark Side of Life”, Dwight Yoakam’s pre WB “I’ll be Gone”, Katy Moffatt’s “Love & Only Love”, the Rosie Flores & Albert Lee duet of “Heartbreak Train”…in fact all 20 tracks are tops. Twistable Turnable Man: A Musical Tribute to Shel Silverstein $20 John prine, Kris Kristofferson, Todd Snider, Bobby Bare Jnr (doing “Daddy What If” with his child…the part he played when Bobby Bare Snr recorded the original), Nanci Griffith are all fabulous but also pale behind Ray Price’s “Me & Jimmie Rodgers” one of the best vocals I have ever heard. Lucinda Williams is awful and totally rank as she destroys “Ballad of Lucy Jordan” but that is the one exception. Wanted: The Golden Era of Capitol Country $20 Excellent 2 tracker from Capitol Japan with 20 tracks that are never usually featured on such compilations. Excellent sound. Western Swing Texas 1928-1944 2cds $22 Fremeux (France) Nice 36 tracker with 16 pages of notes in both French & English. Includes the first ever truckin’ song, Cliff Bruner’s “Truck Drivers Blues’ with Moon Mullican on vocals, as well as the same ribald twosome that appear on the “Hillbilly fever” cd on Rhino. Whistle Bait $18 companion volume to “Ain’t I’m a Dog” (above) with another 25 rockabilly gems from CBS that again feature quite a few country legends such as Carl Perkins, Lefty Frizzell, Freddie Hart, Billy Crash Craddock etc. Highlight though is “Ugly & Slouchy” by the Maddox Bros & Rose. So hilarious and also politically incorrect…shock..horror!! White Country Blues: 1926-1938 A Lighter Shade of Blue (Sony Legacy) $28 This out of print gem concentrates on white artists performing basically in the blues idiom as would be done by Jimmie Rodgers. Fine track by track 32 page notes with likes of Frank Hutchison, Charlie Poole, Cliff Carlisle, Homer Callahan, Prairie Ramblers, Anglin Brothers, etc with several previously unissued songs such as Clayton McMichen’s “Prohibition Blues”. Hard to get now. White Mansions/ Legend of Jesse James 1847-1882 2cd set (Mercury) $30 Subtitled “A Tale from the American Civil War” White Mansions was a country rock opera by Paul Kennerley who at the time was married to Emmylou Harris. It features Waylon Jennings, Jessi Colter, Eric Clapton, Bernie Leadon etc. Jesse James includes Levon Helm (as JJ) Johnny Cash, the aforementioned Emmylou, Charlie Daniels, Rodney Crowell etc…yep a few slightly known folks. Winning Hand (Monument) $20 Brenda Lee/ Kris Kristofferson/ Willie Nelson & Dolly Parton A one off project with duets and solo songs . Excellent, Zydeco Champs: 50 Years of Louisiana’s Black French-Creole Dance Music (Arhoolie) with 22 tracks including Clifton Chenier, Lawrence Ardoin, John Delafose, Ambrose Sam & the Sam Brothers. Etc

INDEPENDENT CDS ...great bunch of honky tonk, straight country & some rockabilly (rab after listing designates straight rockabilly but a few country with some rockabilly overtones kind of Elvissy..how’s that for an invented word!). Mostly one offs as they are virtually all short runs....once gone gone forever.

Prices...You can combine these with any of the other offers. These are marked down in places so $5 combine with any other $5 in newsletter; ditto the $10 cds.
