Country music has changed. Even with a genre that has seemingly always had a fixation for crossover there has been a continued degrading of the roots of the genre, so nowadays what they call country music is virtually indiscernible from pop music. I mean Britney Spears may have a little more bassiness in the recording but she is in essence the same as Taylor Swift (where the bassiness is replaced by the 2 second fiddle solo, which is of course played over a heavily synthesized backdrop.) But most of the Nashville scribes take the Emperor’s New Clothes approach and pretend there is nothing wrong. Well, they do have to protect their jobs I suppose, but there can be no denying that the basic entities of country music, fine songs and sincere down home delivery are but for the odd, make that very odd exception, no longer exist. This phenomenon has been ten years in the making. The late eighties to three quarters of the way through the 90s produced some of the greatest country music ever made. Artists such as Ricky Van Shelton and Randy Travis ruled the charts and there were a swag of new artists coming through of similar talent. There were secondary labels such as Hightone producing traditional style music with a contemporary edge which we all embraced. How times have changed!

Some mornings when there is something on the antiques roadshow that I have already seen I switch over to the country music channel where I try and stomach what I can see for as long as I can. Some young thing with precious little obvious sign of talent is dancing around trying to express some form of sincerity with some song totally lacking in melody and seemingly having the same beat and tempo as the preceding one.

So at Yesterday & Today Records we just do not embrace this at all. Why should we, it is not country music. We offer you an alternate universe if you like where everything we have is good and is country…real country music where the “now taboo” subjects of drinkin’, lying’ and cheatin’ are still embraced and where tradition and sincerity are a must have ingredient. We get the independent labels from Nashville and Texas where talent and great songs rule. Where the needs of country music fans are satisfied, where artists such as Merle Haggard are kings and great songs rule. If you like we are the Choice Magazine for country music fans and I don’t mean those who turn the CMT on all day every day and think they enjoy it.

So settle back and have a read. If you are convinced you are a real fan then take our word for what is great and reap the reward. By all means give us a call if unsure. If you are a Merle Haggard fan you will love Kenny Seratt, if you are a Ray Price fan you will love Darrell McCall. If you are a Connie Smith or Loretta Lynn fan you will love the likes of Heather Myles and Amber Digby. If you are worried that you haven’t heard them, don’t! Fans of traditional country music will unreservedly love what we carry.

You will find a great selection of cds from $5 in our sales section. No rubbish, and they are genuine bargains. So settle back, rest a spell take your shoes off and give the list a peruse. Thank you.

2009 Albums of the Year 1. Ron Williams – The Longer You’re Gone.$30 Ron for the uninitiated is the son of Leona Williams, who of course was married for a time to Merle Haggard. Now, having Merle as a step dad may not have been all smooth sailing but it certainly instilled a spirit of true country music greatness in Ron. If he had been around at the end of the 80s he would have been on a major label and as good and popular as say Ricky Van Shelton. He has it all. Good looks and those peculiarly personal country music nuances that make for individuality and superb country. A must. 2. Dotty Jack – With Every Heartbeat $30 Just superb. 3. Joey Allcorn – All Alone Again $30 The best Hank III or Wayne the Train album ever is this. That demeans Joey but it is true. If you like Wayne or Hank III you are guaranteed to love this. 4. Darrell McCall – Keeping With Tradition 5. Jake Hooker – Lost Along the Way $30 the superb vocalist is equally adept as a band leader and musician. 6. Amber Digby – Another Way to Live

Reissue of the Year A tie!! Mel Street - “Mel Street/ Country Soul” $34 Sons of the Pioneers/Roy Rogers – Complete Commercial Recordings 1934-1943 $240 Two different era, the classic honky tonk of Mel Street and the unsurpassed trio singing of Roy and the Sons of the Pioneers.

Best Roots/Americana Album Loudon Wainwright III “High wide and Handsome: The Charlie Poole Project” 2cds + stunning package $35

For a small contrast this is the Swedish Cowboy’s Top 5

1. Ron Williams: The Longer You’re Gone 2. Teri Joyce: Kitchen Radio 3. Darrell McCall: Keeping With Tradition 4. Dottie Jack: With Every Heartbeat 5. Various Artists: Hillside Records Country Song Roundup

Kenny Seratt “The Best Of Kenny Seratt” $30 The reactivated Hillside label has been a blessing in this world where real country music is hard to find. Many bought and loved the “Hillside Country” cd from last year. Most of those were absolutely in awe of Kenny Seratt. Here was a man who sang like Merle Haggard and in his own right was every bit as good as the man. Merle himself has been quoted as saying “ Kenny sang like Lefty & me way before I did!”. The good news is we now have this superb cd. It came out right at the end of December in 2009 so technically it is a 2009 release but realistically a 2010 release and you would almost call the rest of 2010 off and proclaim this album of the year right now. A few years ago I had a cd by an indie guy called Rick Stancil. Now the cd was good but I could help remarking that one track, “Just a Damn Good Drinking Song” was as good as example of that fabulous honky tonk sub-set that I had ever heard, well lo & behold it was a Kenny Seratt song and the original is here! There is a mix of originals and covers. Some of the originals are by songwriters S Stone & J Cunningham. The latter could be the bloke who wrote the David Allan Coe classic “Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile”, as his & Stone’s “I Found Heaven in a Texas Honky Tonk” is a highlight in an album where nothing is less than a highlight. He does a wonderful job on the Tommy Collins song, recorded by Merle Haggard, “Goodbye Comes Hard to Me”. He has the voice and the songs. Why wasn’t he the biggest star in country music? As the late Benny Hill so often said , “How do you define the intangerine?”. So friends, you get 17 songs and so it is like getting 1 ½ of the best albums Merle Haggard or Lefty Frizzell ever recorded. He is that good. Just amazing. Justin Trevino, who is no slouch himself, reports that on a recent benefit show in Texas, where the absolute crème de la crème of Texas artists performed, Kenny Seratt absolutely stole the show. Said Justin, “People were asking who was he and where has he been!”. Well, you can find out. As far as I know he only ever had one lp (though a few singles of which only one made the Top 40) and now this cd. As good as it gets…maybe even better.

Mickey Newbury “Live at the Hermitage” DVD $38 Now, sometimes it is hard to understand how an artist such as the aforementioned Kenny Seratt is a virtual unknown, but twice as hard to work out how Mickey Newbury could have made it given that his lifestyle was not conducive to being discovered and now that he is gone the handling of his material in the hands of his somewhat less than functional family. Good news though is that it is being handled by someone who is a little better than the family member who was handling things last year when in the end we had to give up on obtaining his product. So things are kind of on

track, or so it seems. The dvd, recorded in Tennessee’s Hermitage ballroom goes for a mighty 147 minutes and features Mickey performing all his best known songs including “American Trilogy”, “Cortelia Clark”, “Just Dropped In” and “Frisco Mabel Joy” a joyous song about a woman of the night. 22 songs plus interview.

Mickey Newbury – “The Mickey Newbury Collection” 8Cds box set. $160 Nicely miniaturised and remastered versions of all his Elektra albums recorded between 1969 and 1981. The albums contained on this set are: 1. Looks Like Rain 2. Frisco Mabel Joy 3. Heaven Help the Child 4. Live at Montezuma Hall 5. I Came to Hear the Music 6. Lovers 7. Rusty Tracks 8. His Eye is on the Sparrow 9. The Sailor 10. After All These Years Again, because of the inconsistencies in supply (hopefully in the past) don’t dilly dally too long!

Billy Joe Shaver “Live from Luckenbach Texas” $30 DVD Georgia on a fast train Honky tonk heroes Thats what she said last night The devil made me do it the first time You asked me to Im just an old chunk of coal When the fallen angels fly Live forever Hottest thing in town Follow me down Love so sweet You cant beat Jesus Christ

**Billy Ed Wheeler – A Big Bag of Songs $28 New 28 track cd by a man who is known for his songs and appreciated by the aficionados for his recordings. His best known songs are “Jackson” and “The Reverend Mr Black”, both big hits for Johnny Cash (who also recorded other Billy Edd songs that are featured on this album such as “Blistered” and “After Taxes” and he himself is probably on more than a few compilations with his novelty “Ode to the Little Brown Shack Out Back”. Great songs and great storytelling are his trademarks and the original Monument recordings come up a treat. First time on cd.

**Troubled Troubadours – 27 Tales from the Dark and/or Strange Side of the Tracks. $28 Lust, murder, depravity, alienation, war and credit cards!! All our favourite subjects! Great bunch of rare songs by great artists. Marty Robbins sings of a man who is going to meet his maker from the electric chair, Dolly is placing her final steps high above “The Bridge”, and no folks she is not there just to admire the view, and so on. Many and varied but classic examples of political correctness.

Due soon from Omni

**Dolly Parton – Fairest of Them All/ My Favorite Songwriter Porter Wagoner (two of her best on a single cd with bonus tracks) **Porter Wagoner – What Ain’t to Be Just Might Happen/ Sings His Own (two albums on a single cd with bonus tracks).

**Best sellers from Omni. All come with the highest recommendation -Tommy Cash – Rise & Shine/ Six White Horses 2 0n 1 - Lorne Greene – The Man - Henson Cargill – On the Road: The Mega Years Plus - Johnny Paycheck – Nowhere to Run (this is in the bargains…don’t miss the best George Jones style singer ever…may be even better than George. Don’t judge him on “Take This Job & Shove It”. That was different to this as chalk & cheese.

**Augie Meyers – “Country” $30 Forever and a day the co-cort of the late and extremely great Doug Sahm. Also a fabulous musician on keyboards as well as accordion. Whereas Flaco played the button accordion Augie played the piano style squeeze accordion and Flaco himself was in awe of his great talent thereon. He incorporates his Tex Mex stylings (well he is from San Antonio). He balances the crying in your beer style admirably with the uptempo swinging style. “I’d Be Ashamed” I a waltz. For fans of the Texas Tornados and Dog Sahm.

**Heather Myles: In The Wind $30 This is the review of the great Swedish Cowboy. Reason I can’t review it is I never had the opportunity as the first lot went like hotcakes and I still have a few orders to fill. BUT, I never figured that Heather would be so darn hopeless at promoting her own product. This is the first fully independent cd she has put out. The first on her own label. But if you go that way you have to have the product to send and you don’t say you have shipped it when you

patently haven’t. So, I am waiting for more stock and that should be here by middle of the month. Soif you want one get in early. This next lot will probably be the last unless Miss Heather wises up. Here is the Swedish Cowboy’s review. Sometimes he reviews like a doctor writing a prescription but you get the idea…it is a great album. “Heather is the real thing. There is not a bad track here, and all bar 3 songs are originals. However, the final track, a blues with biting blues guitar and plenty of organ, doesn’t really fit in, and #3 is a slowie with plenty of organ! The title track is a bit on the weak side too, so not everything is tops. There are still plenty of great songs and the singing as well as the backing is generally excellent, so this platter is still another goodie from our Heather. Let’s hope the next one doesn’t take as long as this one took. It’s a long time since we last heard from her.” Tracks: When Did You Stop Loving me Broke and Broken Hearted Shoulder to Cry On Don’t Call Me Pretty Poison Mama’s a Star Smokin’ Drinkin’ Dancin’ Again Vaya Con Dios In the Wind Walk on By Right or Wrong My Baby’s Good to Me! NOTE: The next lot will be hopefully here next week. Do not miss out.

**Gene Watson “Matters of the Heart: Best of the MCA Years” $30 There has been precious little available of Gene Watson’s MCA recordings. This new UK cd changes that and full marks must go to the compilers who have done a sterling job with this 20 tracker. There are the classics “Fourteen Carat Mind”, “Sometimes I Get Lucky and Forget”, the raunchy honky tonker “You’re Just Another Beer Drinking Song” plus great album tracks such as “Three”, “From Cotton to Satin”, “Til Melinda Comes Around” etc . Great and welcome selection by one of the most popular artists we have ever carried.

**Cal Smith – “The Best of Cal Smith” $30. This is the first and only cd of Cal Smith’s original MCA recordings. There have been two earlier cds, both re-recordings but these are the originals. The 3 number ones are all here; “The Lord Knows I’m Drinking”, “Country Bumpkin” and “It’s Time to Pay the Fiddler”plus other favourites such as “Jason’s Farm”, “Between Lust and Watching TV”, “An Hour and a Six Pack”, “Macarthur’s Hand”, “Bits & Pieces of Life” etc. 16 must have tracks and again all the originals.

**Amber Digby “Another way to Live” $30 Amber is as close as it gets to royalty in the Yesterday and Today Records Palace of Musical perfection. 12 new songs and for the first time we get some Amber originals, of which the best is “Lie to Him”, an absolute classic cowritten with the significantly great Justin Trevino. Amber’s father, Dicky Overby contributes some wonderful steel guitar lines. If you haven’t heard Dicky play steel you simply haven’t heard one of the very best. As good as it gets. But in reflection is it as good as “After it Break”, a wonderful song about the demise of a relationship (with some great mandolin hidden in the mix). Or is “Soul Survivor” (perhaps autobiographical?) the winner in

the Amber writes. Let’s say they are all great. Dicky Overby’s superb “Wrong Number” must also qualify as an original. Classic song. The covers are all great too. Amber’s status as a classic vocalist is enforced again on Jack Clement’s great “Just Someone I Used to Know”. There are doubting Thomases everywhere. If I said Amber was as good as anyone in the history of country music then they would say I was wrong. Did you see the audition Susan Boyle did for “You Think You’ve Got Talent”?? The entire place was prepared to laugh at her but she shut them up when she sang. Doubters, are you game enough to have Amber shut you up!! Superb co-production with Justin Trevino. What a talent. Amber’s other albums: *Music from the Honky Tonks $30 *Here Comes the Teardrops $30 *Passion Pride & What Might Have Been $30

**Darrell McCall “Keeping With Tradition” $30 Amazing album. The Heart of Texas crew of Jake Hooker on Bass, Dickey Overby on Steel, Hank Singer on fiddle is as godo as the famous A team. Of all the Ray Price inspired vocalists I have no doubt that Darrell McCall is the best. Darrell’s kids Guyanne (as a songwriter) and Cody (as harmony vocalist) make substantial contributions. Darrell’s endlessly tuneful voice is as good as it ever was. “Hello Out There” is a wonderfully pretty waltz. As pretty a melody as you would ever hear and some wonderful Grady Martin style acoustic guitar to boot. Justin Trevino, who continues to amaze with his production talents has again masterminded a wonderful recording. He joins Darrell on the George Jones/Roger Miller song “That’s the Way I Feel”. Again, I have to mention Dicky Overby on steel. “The Kind of Love” is an excellent western swing tune, by sometimes Wills’ fiddler Jesse Ashlock. Great and then some and what’s more Heart of Texas have reissued 2 of Darrell’s excellent albums from the early 90s on 1 cd: “A Way to Survive & All I Did was Fall in Love”. Both were on the Artrap label and just wonderful. The former has one of his best ever songs in “Christmas in Cell #9” and the latter has a great duet with his very talented wife, Mona McCall, who appeared on the Opry as part of the Carol Lee singers (silly old Cosmic Cowboy though they were the Clair Poole singers…). Two gems now on 1 cd for $30

**Curtis Potter/Tony Booth/ Darrell McCall “The Survivors”. $30 My late dad was the very opposite of my mother and I. He had zero musical appreciation, well as little as humanly possible, so it came as a surprise when he said he liked anyone. It actually happened twice, so I dare say his compliments weren’t torrent like. The first (actually second chronologically) was when he heard Curtis Potter sing with Willie Nelson on “Six Days in Pedernales” (a copy of which appears in the sale section). Well, lo & behold, this gem reminds me how right he was. These 3 are great vocalists. Tony Booth, a fine fettle of a man, was on Capitol Records as a contemporary of Buck Owens. All three are influenced by Ray Price but each has his own distinct voice. Darrell is not generally known as a writer (even though he did write the big Hank Williams Junior hit “Eleven Roses”) but shows he still has it with the great “Whiskey Man” . The classic “It Is No Secret” is superbly handled with each man trading lines. The sign of a true talent is when they can weave their magic on something we are familiar with and give it new life. A surplus of riches. **Incidentally the only other artist my father actually said he liked was Leonard Cohen, who he affectionately referred to as “Ikey” Cohen” (now before anyone goes and complains about racial

epithets this was also what his high school English teacher was called by all & sundry)…So there!

**Landon Dodd “Call of the Wine” $30 Great voice, songs and album and not surprisingly on Heart of Texas label, who we would almost consider the new Hightone, in that everything on the label has a quality that is impossible to bypass. And this has 2 examples of that staple of country music, the duet. And how special they are! “We’re Off and Loving Again” is a Leona Williams’ song and the great lady duets on it…superbly. BUT, sounding like Tim Shaw, there is till more and that is “Mr Right & Mrs Wrong” with Amber Digby (credited as Mrs Wrong). A wonderful jaunty song about a mismatched relationship. The dynamic Bobby Flores is superb. “Face the Music” is a great honky tonk number. It is also a must.

OTHERS *Arnold, Eddy “Memorial Best” $35 Japan pressing 25 tracker. Superb sound and selection. *Tony Booth – Is This All There is $30 *Tony Booth – The Essential $30 first is last year recordings, the second from his time on Capitol label. Both are great. * Richie Furay Band – Alive 2cds $35 * Richie Furay The Heartbeat of Love $35 The first is a live retrospective by the former Poco & Buffalo Springfield member. And the second was his first non religious recording in many yearswith a wonderful book style cover. Just great. * Lucas Hudgins – The World Left is Mine $30 Great honlky tonk produced by Dave Biller in Texas. *Dotty Jack – Texan in a Stetson $30 *Bobby Marquez – Bobby Marquez $30 Great new singer who almost steals the show on the Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree dvd *Myles, Heather – “Just Like Old Times” $30 …her debut on Hightone. Someone asked me about this. *Roy Orbison – Sings/Im Memphis/Milestones 2cds $35 3 albums on 2 cds, the middle album includes his much sought version of “Danny Boy”. *Kimmie Rhodes & Willie Nelson – Picture in a Frame $30 Duets! *Johnny Rodriguez & Johnny Bush – Texas Legends $30 *Linda Ronstadt “The Capitol Years” 2cds Her 4 Capitol albums plus 5 bonus tracks on a great sounding double disc. What a country singer! *Leon Russell _ Best Of Hank Wilson $30 (22 collection of songs by Leon’s country alter-ego) *Leon Russell – “Bad Country” $30 Wow, a Leon country album we missed. Well it is on his own label. Seems it was recorded 2003 except the title track (which Leon fans will be reminded of “Me & Baby Jane”, a great song from Carney). So it is varying in its country-ness. “Honky tonk Dream” is pretty much the pure deal!! **Starline rhythm Boys “Masquerade for a Heartache” $28 A follow up to their great Live at Charlie O’s album for the rockin’ hillbillies! **Jerry Webb – There’s a Song in That $30 (all originals and all honky tonk)

Bear Family Records News The great German label will be fairly quiet for the beginning of the year with a few releases but then they will have a big lot of releases in March. As always we get Bear Family cds directly from Bear Family and the March releases will be here a day or so after their release, along with the

February releases. So please call as soon as you spot something to your fancy.

February Releases *DVD Town Hall Party March 28 1959 $35 The line up is outstanding on this 87 minute dvd with the headliner being Leon McAuliffe, along with Faron Young, the fabulous Gordon Terry, Skeets McDonald, Tex Ritter, Rose Lee & Joe Maphis, Collins Kids, Johnny Bond etc.

*DVD Town Hall Party July 25th & August 15th 1959. This 114 minute dvd features Merle Travis, Martha Carson, the fabulous blind musician Jimmy Pruett (who steals the show on previous issues he has been on), Gene Vincent (!) plus most from the previous volume, and I am keen to see Gordon Terry do “Tennessee Stud” and more of the great Jimmy Pruett.

**DVD Town Hall Party August 29th and September 5th 1959. 92 minute dvd features the regulars from the previous 2 volumes plus Bob Luman, Freddie Hart, the great Lefty Frizzell and an appearance by Fred Maddox. That is something I am looking forward to seeing.

The Town Hall Party DVDS are always entertaining with great restored picture and sound quality. Everyone who has bought them in the past want one thing and that is MORE of them.

* CD Jimmy Donley “The Shape You Left Me In” $32 A New Orleans based singer and musician he had 6 of his songs recorded by fellow New Orleans resident Fats Domino. Unlike the amiable Fats he was an angry young man, at least when he was drunk (and Bear Family points out he was always drinking), so the title track takes on an additional meaning. He recorded for Decca Nashville and all his recordings are included here.

* CD Big Jeff Bess “Tennessee Home Brew” $35 digipak including 88 page book. Jeff was the husband of “Tootsie” and yes he founded the iconic Nashville institution “Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge”. He was also a radio legend and his performing band featured members of the Nashville a team. His most famous song was “Step it Up and Go” and is featured here as are vintage radio performances and 32 tracks in all. The notes say pure country and swinging hillbilly. Sounds good.

* CD Jimmy Edwards “Love Bug Crawl” $32 Complete recordings and a full discography by Colin Escott. Features his entire output. His title track was a country music top 10 on Mercury records and was so successful he was sent out on tour with Buddy Holly & the Everly Brothers.

* CD “A Girl Named Johnny Cash: an Album of Tribute Songs”. Always popular this is a gam as it features a bunch of previously unreleased recordings by one of country music’s greatest vocalists, the highly Frizzell and Haggard influenced Stoney Edwards. Stoney performs no less than 9 tributes: 1. The Night the Ernest Tubb Show Came to Town 2. Cash 3. Roy Acuff, the King of country Music 4. The Jimmie Rodgers Blues 5. Bob wills, the Fiddlin’ Man 6. Hag Sang Me A Song 7. Red Foley 8. Bill Monroe – Daddy Bluegrass

9. Hank and Lefty Raised my Country Soul The title track is from the recording of Jane Morgan, and is both a tribute and answer song. Haggard chips in with a fine couple in “Leonard”, his tribute to Tommy Collins and “Goodbye Lefty”. And then there is the old favourite “The Ballad of Johnny Cash” by the fabulous Gordon Terry. This cd should be in everyone’s collection for sure!!

* CD Smiley Lewis “Smiley Rocks” $35 The new Orleans artist so readily identified with the great Fats Domino and a famous artist in his own right with songs such as “I Hear You Knocking” which was revived and was a big hit for Dave Edmunds. This is a 35 track gem which covers his classic Imperial label recordings.

* CD Ramblin’ Jack Elliott “At Lansdowne Studios London, these recordings date from 1955 when Jack was at the centre of the folk revival movement and date through 1959 when Jack returned to England where he recorded an album of songs by Jimmie Rodgers and Woody Guthrie. This cd has 33 tracks and has 5 previously unissued recordings, not that any of this has been available on cd before. $32

* CD Christine Kittrell “Call Her Name” $32 inc, 40 pg booklet A versatile singer who was part of the R & B face of NAshvilel in the 40s and 50s. She recorded for the Tennessee, Republic, Champion, Vee-Jay, Hit/Spar and Federal labels and on several tracks is backed by Little Richard.

March Releases CDS

**Buck Owens – Open Up Your Heart 7 cds + 120pg hard cover book. The second volume in Bear Family’s continuing Buck Owens reissue series includes everything recorded between 1965 and 1968 and also includes the Buckaroos albums. It was Buck Owens who had personally organised with Bear Family to reissue his complete works as only they can. This was Buck’s most successful period with all singles going to number 1 on the charts. They include gems such as “Waiting in Your Welfare Line”, “Sam’s Place”, “Open Up Your Heart” as well as the theme song “Buckaroo”. All up has 249 tracks with a running time of around 7 ½ hours. So, as always we say Bear Family is not cheap but there is imply nothing but quality and with so much great music they are cheaper than a plumber!! $270

**Carl Smith – “Hey Joe: Gonna Shake This Shack Tonight” $32 Sad to report Carl Smith passed away at the end of January. This collection of his uptempo and semi rockabilly songs features 34 songs and clocks in at an impressive 80 minutes. It includes the duet he did with his then wife, June Carter, on “Time’s a Wastin’”, and he really rocks out on “Cut Across Shorty”. All the great Smith hits such as “Loose Talk”, “Go Boy Go”, “Trademark”, “Doggone it Baby I’m in Love” are all here. Sadly, a very timely release.

**Johnny Horton “The Ballads of Johnny Horton” $35 Deluxe digipak presentation. The Bear Family box of Johnny Horton is now out of print. Whilst he made his name with mainly uptempo songs his great voice was equally adept at the ballads and this has 25 with a running time of just under 70 minutes. Horton had surprisingly few hits in his lifetime and generally the a-side was an uptempo number. The b side was often a ballad and included well known Horton songs such as “Whispering Pines” and the fabulous “All for the Love of a Girl” plus lesser known songs such

as “Counterfeit Love” and “The Mansion You Stole”. It also includes some of his peerless story songs like “Commanche (the Brave Horse)” and “When It’s Springtime in Alsaka (It’s 40 Below). Bring it on!

**Smoke that Cigarette: Pleasure to Burn $35 deluxe digipak This is gonna go straight on the must haves list. 32 tracks and over 85 minutes of songs about smoking, both the pleasures and evils and consequences of. The issue of cigarettes as a health hazard has only been of fairly recent origins. It was also seen as something socially unacceptable for women (in certain areas) and this includes a 1939 recording by Rev. J M Gates about the evils of a “Smoking Woman in the Street” and whilst it sticks mainly to country tracks there is a selection of pop gems included such as Peggy Lee’s “Don’t Smoke in Bed” and Johnny Ray’s “Coffee and Cigarettes”. There are only a few obvious choices such as Tex Williams “Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! That Cigarette” and Patsy Cline’s “Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray”, the majority will be things most will be unfamiliar with and even includes a Slim Dusty track ‘Sad Cigarette”. The notes are by music historian Hank Davis and include vintage advertisements.

**Don Woody “You’re Barking Up the Wrong Tree” $25 This is Bear Family’s first ever ep and has 11 songs on it, 9 by Don and two he wrote, Brenda Lee’s first single “Bigelow 6-200” (the b-side of “Jambalaya”) and Billy Eustis “The Rope”. This is issued as Don Woody is going to appear at a big rockabilly festival in 2010. His 4 Decca rockabilly tracks (which also appear on Vols 2 & 6 of “That’ll Flat Git It”) are as good as anything you’d ever hear and feature the guitar of Grady Martin. “Morse Code” may be the best of the lost and belies the belief that all rockabilly tracks are of a frantic uptempo nature. Opening with a great slap bass (that emulates the sound of morse code), this is a classic through and through. For anyone who doesn’t have the abovementioned “That’ll Flat Git It” vols 2 & 6 put this on your list!

**Rudy Grazzell “Lets Get Wild” $32 First ever cd by a man revered in rockabilly circles but equally able to perform classic country. This has 32 tracks clocking in over 80 minutes and features his recordings for Starday, Capitol, Sun, Abbott & Award. Like Don Woody he will also be at the 2010 “Viva Las Vegas” rockabilly festival. He was responsible for 2 of rockabilly’s most defining moments in “Don’t Mess with My Ducktail” and “Let’s Get Wild” and includes his cover of the classic “Hearts of Stone”. He was a wild man as well and the notes include details of his singing “Ducktail” to a group of women in a cemetery. Now, that will be good!!

**Jack Earls & the Jimbos “Slow Down: The Sun Years plus” 2 cds $45 Includes all his Sun recordings plus previously unissued tracks as well as recordings made when he moved from Memphis to Michigan where he become a local legend.

**The Treniers – Rock $35 The Treniers were one of rock an roll’s greatest performers incorporating great dance moves in their stage act as well as a sound that was highly influential on Bill Haley & the Comets. As such they were in demand for movies such as “The Girl Can’t Help It” and “Don’t Knock the RocK”. They were also one of the first groups to make a living performing in Las Vegas. Because of their performance schedule they were probably not able to get as many records made as they should have and so this 82 minute cd is a real pearl for rock and roll

fans. The song “It Rocks! It Rolls! It swings!” sums them up beautifully. Also includes the rather ribald “PoonTang’ as well as “Rock-a Beatin’ Boogie” which was given to them with great admiration from Bill Haley. Do yourself a favour and type in Treniers on youtube!

Rarities

These are mostly one offs and virtually all impossible to get.

Axton, Hoyt Spin of the Wheel (DPI). Perhaps his last album and one of the best with 9 originals, 2 covers of his mother’s songs (inc. a great version of “Heart- Break Hotel”) + 3 other covers $25 Austin, Chad All My Dreams $25 It some times happens that a record company sends out some advance copies of an album and yet never releases the thing. This is from 1999 and is very good on the Asylum/Elektra label. Barker, Aaron w. Curtis Wayne “Straight from Horse’s Mouth” $22 BSI label. Both are famed songwriters as well as

great singers. 12 tracks inc. the 2 big Barker tracks “Baby Blue” and “Love Without End Amen” plus the Curtis Wayne monsters “Love Bug” and “Next In Line” (both co-writes with Wayne Kemp). Also includes co-writes with Dean Dillon & Whitey Shafer. 10/10!! Barnes, Max D Max D Barnes was one of Nashville's greatest songwriters and often co-wrote with the likes of Vern Gosdin. Whether by coincidence or design he is vocally reminiscent of Vern. This is just about impossible to find and this copy is as new, absolute pristine condition. 15 tracks. $45 Almost impossible to get a copy. Bellamy Brothers Rebels Without a Clue $30. This is their gem from 1988 with superb songs with a theme of nostalgia. They sing about “The Andy Griffith Show”, reflecting on their youth in the title song and “Fountain of Middle Age” and the great story of “The Courthouse”. Bogguss, Suzy/Chet Atkins Simpatico Liberty (1994) $25 A classic with great interplay especially on “Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word” and the delightful “Two Shades of Blue”. It has a great down home feel esp. when Chet & Suzy share a duet. Equally loved by Chet & Suzy fans. Larry Boone Swingin’ Doors Sawdust Floors $30 Down That River Road $35 One Way to Go $25 First 2 on Mercury & last on Columbia. First is very muchGeorge Strait style with original versionof “Beyond the Blue Neon”. Second has “Everybody Wants to Be Hank Williams” a classic and the 3rd has a great ballad selection, “It wouldn’t Kill Me” was covered by others But Larry is best. All great esp. if you like Strait & Ricky Van! Browne, Jann It Only Hurts When I Laugh $25 Perky west coast gal who had 2 albums on Curb which are both superb. This 1991 features great covers & Browne originals. If you like Heather Myles then Jann is a must. They go quickly. Cartwright, Lionel Lionel Carwright $28 Classic album from 1989 which saw Lionel line up against Clint Black & Garth Brooks as best new artist of the Year. Superb w. Paul Overstreet song “Like Father Like Son”. Cash, Tommy 25th Anniversary Album $30 Features George Jones, Connie Smith, Tom T Hall and Tommy’s brother…now what’s his name again??

Conlee, John Fellow Travellers $30 His 1989 16th Ave label album is a classic but the label went belly up, so a real rarity. Cryner, Bobbie Bobbie Cryner $35 Until Miss Leslie’s 2008 album of the year this was the only time I had heard a gal sing like George Jones. This is the best ever female country album released during my years in business. Dwight duets “I Don’t Care”. If you get it and don’t love it send it back & I will eat it. Traditionally sound as well as being relevant to modern country. Dalton, Lacy J Crazy Love $30 Lacy’s gem has a great Version classic as the title song but the highlight was unquestionably “Little Boy Blue” a superb ballad written about her son. Goose bumps! Delray, Martin What Kind of Man $30 1992 Atlantic Now a professional tennis coach. The fact that country music could think they could let this wonderful vocalist walk away is nuts is scary. Check out Hugh Moffatt’s “Life of a Minor Poet” for a rare appearance. Wonderful. Ford, Tennessee Ernie Capitol Collectors Series $35 This series is simply the best offering by all the artists who are featured on it. This 29 track Ernie cd features all the country boogies, the big hits (“Sixteen Tons” “River of No Return” “Mule Train” etc) plus some great duets w. Kay Starr, Ella Mae Morse etc and the gospel “His Hands”. Brilliant variety. Freberg, Stan Capitol Collectors Series $35 We will try &include all in this series where possible. The best Freberg compilation includes his classic takes on “A Dear John Letter” (including that great line “Make it more country…a little more husky on the Ferlin”). 21 super tracks. Frickie, Janie Labor of Love $28 After Midnight $25 Her 3 albums where she adapted the phoenetic spelling of her real name “Fricke” were her best. “Labor of Love” saw her include songs from Steve Earle & Katy Moffatt & is not to be missed. Gosdin, Vern Alone $35 The album that followed the epic“Chiselled in Stone” may be one of the saddest albums about a deteriorating relationship since Willie’s epic “Phases & Stages”. Wundabar!! Gosdin, Vern Nickels Dimes & Love $25 Great album with the highlight being the duet with Janie Frickie on “Two Good People (With a Love Gone Bad)” No-one sings of heartache better than Vern!!

Grand, Gil Famous Last Words $25 (never released) Haggard, Merle Capitol Collectors Series Simply the best single cd anthology of Haggard’s best work with all the classics and more $25 Best sound. Haggard, Merle Chill Factor $38 long out of print 1987 gem from Merle. 9 songs written by Merle plus one each from Whitey Shafer & Hank Cochran. Can’t get much better than that. Hardwick, Billy Jnr Too Country $28 Only album and a true gem. With a voice a tad like Dean Dillon he wrote 8 of the 10 songs and all have instant classic. Whenever I played this someone bought it. It is that good. Harris, Emmylou Last Date. The out of print issue on Eminent label of Emmy’s peak period live album with Barry Tashian on harmony & & duet vocal. These have 2 unissued tracks on them. Nice slipcase on 1 of the two copies we have. $35 with slip jacket & $30 without. Hobbs, Becky All Keyed Up $30 Wrote every song on the album in which “Jones on the Jukebox” (a co-write with Mack Vickery and Don Goodman) is the classic all time female honky tonk track. Honeys Capitol Collectors Series $40 This is the group which features Brian Wilson’s future wife Marilyn Rovell and is produced by Brian Wilson who uses his Spector influence to produce a Ronettes’ style. “Raindrops” is a superb take on the Spector sounds and includes great original songs and select covers. Very rare!! House, James James House $30 House, James Hard Times for an Honest Man $38 Two gems from 1989 & 1990 which indicate a great singer & songwriter. Both very collectible. Husky, Ferlin Capitol Collectors Series $35 See the comments for Merle Haggard & Ernie Ford. This 20 tracker has the hits “Gone”, “A Fallen Star” & “Wings of a Dove”. Superb sound & notes too. Jenkins Greetings from Sebastapool cd + dvd $30 . It was due to be released 2004 but some reason was inexplicably dropped from the release schedule, which is hard to fathom given the dubious quality of 99% of the country music that comes out of Nashville today....well they call it country so it must be. The production is first class with that great producer/artist Rodney Crowell at the helm. The Jenkins are a mother and 2 daughters... yes a bit like the Judds with an extra one chucked

in for good measure. The mum is Nancy and the daughters Kacie & Brodie. The sound is a little bluegrass with great harmonies. It is inexplicable that this didn't get released. Crazy. This official advance release is a stunning package. It is in the form of a postcard booklet with six postcards within a bound cover. Jones, David Bridges $35 Truly fabulous independent album from 1994 on Lanor Records which has an an outlaw feel and brilliantly crafted honky tonk songs such as “The Tears OutWeigh theWhiskey”. Would be loved by Shaver fans. Jones, David Lynn Hard Times on Easy Street $35 Not to be confused with the previous guy. He has a Springsteen “Nebraska” style almost & his superb “Living in the Promiseland” was the title of one of Willie’s best albums. Jones, George You Oughta Be Here With Me $38 In the overall scheme of things George has not made a lot of albums where every song is superb. To the contrary many albums are riddled with hokey novelties. Not this one though. From 1990 I would rate it the strongest overall selection of songs George has ever had on one album. The title track was from Roger Miller’s superb “Big River’ whilst “I Sleep Just Like a Baby” is the closest it gets to a novelty but clever wordplay overrides. 10/10 Jones, George Friends in High Places $30 Duet album with all songs recorded specifically. Includes Ricky Van Shelton, Vern Gosdin, Randy Travis, Ricky Skaggs etc but the highlight is probably his duet with Shelby Lynne on the Paul Overstreet song “If I Could Bottle This Up”. She could have been anything.. Jones, George Live at Dancetown USA $45 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 amazing and George runs through things he has written (“Window Up Above”/ “Ragged But Right”/ “Accidentally on Purpose”) as well as songs by Dickey Lee (“She Thinks I Still Care”) Harlan Howard, Melba Montgomery etc. Although not a regular “Jones boy” Buddy Emmons joins the band for this set. Also Don

Adams (not Max Smart!) acts as the leader of the Jones’ Boys & duets with George 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”!! Kane, Keiran Find My Way Home $30 rare post O’Kanes pre Kane-Welch album. Kemp, Wayne One Song at a Time $30 A rare album by this great honky tonk songwriter & singer inc. “The Fireman” and “Don’t Send Me No Angels”. Logan, Josh Somebody Paints the Wall $48 Superb 1988 Curb album. He embodies the spirit of the wondrous Mel Street. Amazingly good album. McCarters The Gift $40 Wonderful debut inc. great Carl Jackson & Jennifer McCarter track “Letter from Home”. McCarter, Jennifer/McCarters Better Be Home Soon $25 equally as good but first is very very hard to get. Jennifer McCarter was given top billing on the second but the harmonies are the same & slight bluegrass tinged songs are ace! McDaniel, Mel Rockabilly Boy $35 1989 Capitol gem with some superb tracks inc. “Reverend Luther & The Madam” and “You Can’t Play the Blues in an Air Conditioned Room”, a huge personal favourite. McEntire, Reba Oklahoma Girl 2cds $38 Nicely presented in a slip case with 40 Mercury tracks. How good was she then when she still had a surname. Fabulous & hard to get. McQuaig, Scott Scott McQuaig $25 Again an album with Jimmy Bowen hallmark and superb as you may expect. Where did he go?? Dave Loggins “My Friend the Bottle” is a classic honky tonk song. . Moffatt, Katy Greatest Show on Earth $28 Our #1 all time folk country album. Lots of jointly written songs with Tom Russell & a super circus themed cover BUT Ringling Bros circus objected & so this version had to be withdrawn. It was released as “Evangeline Hotel” which we have for $20 but this is the one to get. Morse, Ella Mae Capitol Collectors Series $35 21 tracks with a big band R & B flavour but also country. Best ever “Cow Cow Boogie” Nelson, Willie A Horse Called Music $38 Nelson, Willie Born for Trouble $38 Late 80s gems long deleted & featuring great songs by the likes of Beth Nielsen Chapman (the super “Nothing I Can Do About It Now”) the

poetically named Chester Lester & more. Newbury, Mickey Lulled By the Moonlight $30 A 90s album of all new material. 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 $35 Kickin’ In $35 Buck Owens comeback albums both of which are out of print and very hard to find at all. Price, Ray Sometimes a Rose $28 Wonderful album Of early 90s which proves that if there is anything smoother than Ray Price’s voice then it has never been found. “There’s Not a Dry Eye in the House” is amazing. Randall, Jon Cold Coffee Morning $30 Couple of small marks on inner side of front paperwork but perfect otherwise. The thing that is strange is that Jon Randall has had 3 cds released, none of which was within a country mile of this gem which never made it to the street. He had a history as well. As Randy Stewart (full name Jon Randall Stewart) he was a member of Emmylou Harris' Nash Ramblers and was a talented vocalist and instrumentalist and even had a bigger profile in that he was married to Lorrie Morgan. Who wasn't you might say, but the duet on "Knowing You're There" is just great. Nonetheless the creme de la creme of this fine album is "Reno & Me", a great track which had been recorded by Waylon Jennings, but even Waylon's version was no match for the Jon Randall version. Joined by Willie Nelson, it is not an exaggeration to say it is one of Willie's best ever duets (and boy aren't there a few to choose from!). It gets better. During the chorus they are joined by the angelic Emmylou Harris. Rhodes, Kimmie West Texas Heavens $30 Hard to believe this gem is out of print. Beautiful production & great duets with Waylon, Willie & Townes Van Zandt Robertson, Kathy Hillbilly Down: To Roy Nichols With Love $30. Rather eccentric West Coast singer who has assembled a superb bunch including James Intveld, Rick Shea, Katy Moffatt & MerleHaggard!! Schneider, John You Ain’t Seen the Last of me $30 As we say, looks like a pretty boy & sings with the best of them. Jimmy

Bowen produced. Shafer, Whitey So Good So Long $40 Classic songwriter is also a classic Lefty style vocalist. 15 tracks o n this. Includes his versions of “Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind” plus “I Never Go Round Mirrors”, the original version of “All My Ex’s Live in Texas”, “That’s the Way Love Goes” and the superb “Heaven Was a Drink of Wine” for starters!! Shaver, Billy Joe “Salt of the Earth” $30 One of his best & out of print on cd. Shearer, Charlie Breakin’ Out $28 One of the best ever Indie albums featuring the great Curt Ryle & Mike Headrick. Smith, Russell This Little Town $35 Solo album from the voice of the Amazing Rhythm Aces. Great selection. Spinks, Kelly Thank God for Cowboys $30 OOP Texas fiddler who is an equally fine songwriter. Springfield, Bobby Lee All Fired Up $35 An absolute rip snorter. Crazed man who apparently got arrested for climbing over the White House fence in order to visit the President, presumably Ronny Regan. But his honky tonk style which includes the original “Hank Drank” is grand. Also includes a brilliant version of Eddy Arnold’s “What’s He Doing in My World” with intro by Eddy hisself!! Thompson, Hank Capitol Collectors Series $30 Again the best sounding and best selection. 20 tracks include his gems “Wild Side of Life” with nice bit of studio talk added in for good measure plus other gems such as “Six Pack to Go”, “Blackboard of My Heart’ etc. 20 in all. Thornton, Marsha Marsha Thornton $40 Highly desired debut produced by Patsy Cline producer Owen Bradley. Includes the stunning “A Bottle of wine & Patsy Cline”. Thornton, Marsha Maybe the Moon Will Shine Tonight $30 Excellent 2nd cd & less Patsy & more Marsha! Tanya Tucker Fire to Fire Radio Special 1 hr hosted by Charlie Chase $20 Tanya Tucker The Tanya Tucker Story Radio Special 1 hr $25 (Ron Huntsman Entertainment) Whitley, Keith I Wonder Do You Think Of Me $35 He had the world at his feet with a voice as good as anyone has ever had but a blood alcohol reading of .470 saw him die as this album was completed. Still a landmark cd with honky tonk songs galore which were sadly not just

part of the guise. If you fail to be moved by “Tennessee Courage” when you consider his history then there is something wrong. Whitley, Keith Tribute Album $28 Also has previously unissued recordings as well as a great bunch of artists from Alan Jackson to Mark Chesnutt. .Wild Rose Straight & Narrow $25 Listen to Your Heart $28 Fantastic upbeat all gal group with Pam Gadd on lead vocals & Wanda Vick on guitar & just about everything else. Kind of a bluegrass supergroup playing hard core country….superbly. Young, Steve Solo/Live. $25 1991 release on the Watermelon label. Very hard to get. Various artists . Beverly Hillbillies s/t The movie was only just. I mean how could anyone emulate TV’s funniest character, Max Baer Jnr’s Jethro Bodine or even come close for that matter. But the soundtrack was & still is a ripper with new artists (1993 vintage) doing classic country songs. Joe Diffie’s “White Lightning” and Lorrie Morgan’s “Crying Time” are just two of the best. Mind you I thought Erika Eleniak was terrific as Elly-Mae. $25 Mamas Hungry Eyes A Tribute to Merle Haggard $25 OOP Major label tribute is grand. Clint Black is more like Merle than Merle on “I Take a Lot of Pride in What I Am” and it may seem like heresy but I reckon Vince Gill’s “Farmer’s Daughter” is possibly better even than Merle’s.Also has Emmylou, Alan Jackson, Lorrie Morgan, Randy Travis. John Anderson, Willie etc!! Rig Rock Deluxe A Musical Salute to the American Truckdriver $25. 16 tracks with Buck Owens (“Will There Be Big Rigs in Heaven”), Junior Brown & Red Simpson together(Mother Trucker) Kay Adams with BR549(Mama Was a Rock) 16 gems!!

Other Box Sets (includes different styles of music)

**Bluegrass: Can’t You Hear Me Calling, 4cd 26 x15 cm hard box 109 tracks $55 as new. Spectacular selection and great book by Billy Altman and complete discography for all the tracks. Has both the superstars and the super rare. Superb presentation.

**British Invasion 4cd box 80 tracks $15 not all are original recordings but the artists are great and not the usual ones that seem to find their way into these compilations.

**Johnny Cash – At Folsom Prison Sealed box 26 x 15 cm hard cardboard box. Again I will say things released in Australia come with substandard packaging. This came in a standard jewel case. This US edition is brilliantly presented with 2cds + dvd and a large 40 page book. $40

**Patsy Cline The Collection $40 The contents are as new but the largely white matte 30 x 16 cm box is a little dirty, still the contents are beyond reproach. 4 cds 102 tracks in stunning sound and a glorious 64 page book. Just wonderful

**Cream Those Were the Days as new 4cd 26 x 15 cm box. The rock supergroup of Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce. 48 page book 63 tracks. Two cds of studio and 2 of live performances $45

**Dick Curless “A Tombstone Every Mile” $150 7 cds + book. Absolutely as new Bear Family 12 x 12 “ box. The first of two honouring the Baron, the wonderfully deep voiced Curless so associated with (but not exclusively) with that wonderful country standby, the truckin’ song. 181 tracks. A good one.

**Elvis 75: Good Rockin’ Tonight $65 New 2009 sealed box which JBHI FI is selling for $109 and others for more. 100 essential tracks to mark the 75 anniversary of Elvis’ birth. 26 x 15 cm hard cardboard box.

**Family “Old Songs New Songs” sealed 4 cd set. 26 x 14 cm box with book. Includes bonus 5th cd. English rock group featuring Roger Chapman. $50

**Narvel Felts “Limited Club edition Volume 1” 2cds 44 tracks in 25 x 14 cm box, which is probably unnecessary but looks good. $28

**From Where I Stand: The Black Experience in Country Music $55 Unusually styled 20 x 13 cm box designed to resemble a book. 60 tracks which dates from early stringbands and early stars such as Deford Bailey through to Charley Pride, Linda Martell, Big Al Downing and the best of all in Stoney Edwards. Sometracks have a certain poetic licence but it is very nice. 60 page book with sections by Claudia Perry, Bill Ivey and Bill Malone among others. As new.

**Jimi Hendrix 4cds as new 56 tracks all previously unreleased. Nice velvet style box 29 x 15 cm box. 80 page book. $50 One of rock’s iconic figures, ironically preceding Janis Joplin and Billie Holiday, a sad reflection on their tragic demises.

**Billie Holiday “Lady Day the Complete Columbia Recordings” 10 cd box $160

This is a wonderful set in great shape. It features a leather look cover with matte photo of Billie Holiday. It resembles an old fashioned style album for housing 78s. Dimensions of the box are 31cm x 27cm x 2.25cm. It opens to a pocket on the left with 120 pg book approx. 29 x 25 cm with a) Alphabetical song index b) Essay by Gary Giddins, a

columnist with Village Voice c) Essay by Farah Jasmine riffin, a professor in African-American studies at Columbia University d) Discography e) Track by track commentary by Michael Brooks (which is honest and quite funny to boot..."Oh dear! Billie is very doleful and slow-motion here as if she's stuck in the mud wearing an oversize pair of rainboats".

Next is a fascinating double sided sheet called "To Billie With Love" in which a whole bunch of singers give their thoughts. Etta James gives possibly the most compact tribute "A great woman, very cool, and the hippest thing I ever knew". Generally not a shabby lot of dedicaters either, though you'd have to say Diana Ross was conspicuous in her absence. I personally think Diana Ross was a poor choice to play Billie Holiday; you may agree or disagree, so there are no quibbles from me.

Finally, there are 10 discs which are all in as new condition except disc 9 which has the very lightest mark not affecting anything. These are in 10 individual inserts

All in all the box is in as new condition with the only exceptions being a)light mark on disc 9 b)slight ring mark on the sleeve holding disc 1 and 6. This is possibly going to be on even a newly opened one with the book being a deep purple cover fronting directly on to these. A very slight mark on page one of the book. This is the fine tooth comb treatment. Overall it is decidedly as new. Brilliant!

**Janis Joplin “Janis” as new 26 x 16cm hard cardboard fold out style box with similarly sized 48 page book. Lots of unissued songs including an alternate “Me & Bobby McGee”. Great box. $40 3cds 49 tks.

**Kingston Trio “The Capitol Years” This Capitol Us box set has 4 cds in a 4 cd jewel case with slip jacket and 48 page book by Bill Bush (I guess that is like George W without the George). Has an interesting table of charting albums and singles. Surprisingly they only had one number 1 single, yes “Tom Dooley”, one of the biggest hits of 1958, but their albums did spectacularly well and over 1959 & 1960 they had a number one album (4 different lps) for 45 weeks!! $50

**Let Freedom Sing: The Music of the Civil Rights Movement. Has gouge mark on bar code but otherwise as new. 3cd 58 tracks 26 x 15 cm hard box on Time Life. Notes by Colin Escott which gives a track by track run down; especially interesting on “The Death of Emmett Till” which is sung by the Ramparts (who are in actuality Scatman Crothers, who always seemed to play the amiable black guy and did so in two Jack Nicholson classics “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “The Shining”). This concerned itself with the injustice behind the lynching of a 14 year old in Mississippi and 2 men were acquitted by an all white jury in 67 minutes, prolonged because of a drink break. Harrowing stuff. In fact, read the notes and you will be constantly shaking your head in disbelief. $50

**Gordon Lightfoot “Songbook” 15 x 13 x 6 cm hard cardboard box containing 4 jewel case cds + 60 page fully bound book. 88 tracks by one of Canada’s most popular exports. Beautifully packaged as new $60

**Reba McEntire 50 Greatest Hits sealed 3cds in a spectacular leather like (very leather like) embossed box. $35

**National Lampoon “The Classic” 4cds in foldout 14 x 19cm box. Best from the comedy troupe where John Belushi and Chevy Chase got their starts. Some is uproariously funny (their song parodies are brilliant) whilst the standup part is a mixed bag. $30

**Willie Nelson: A Classic & Unrealeased Collection as new 3cds $48 Rhino 30cm x 16cm box with 36 page book(by Rich Kienzle) and discography of all the tracks which date from 1957 and feature an entirely unreleased album of Hank Williams songs. It includes outtakes from his Atlantic years as well as an unissued live concert with “Bloody Merry Morning/Take Me Back to Tulsa” as wild as anything you have ever heard. No doubt Willie had a substantial herbal intake before he took the stage that night.

**Buck Owens: “Collection 1959-1990” Rhino 30 cm x 16 cm x 4 cm box. As new $55 62 tracks plus beautiful largely in colour 76 page book.

**Dolly Parton “Dolly” $58 sealed 4cd 26 x 15cm hardcover box. 99 tracks plus great book. Includes 7 previously unissued tracks.

**Charley Patton “Screaming & Hollering the Blues” $170 The standard for box sets measurement is generally the Bear Family box set. The theme that comes out in reviews of this is that it is even better than Bear Family. This set has the following features. It weighs in at around 3 kgs.

1. Green cloth bound outer box which holds (2) 2. Inner album simulated leather style package designed to resemble an old fashioned 78 album. This in turn holds the rest (3) to (14) hereunder. 3. Inner pocket holding pocket book size (19.5cm x 12 cm x 112 pg) biography and discussion by John Fahey. This fronts dedication to the late John Fahey 1939-2001. 4. "Masked Marvel Screams and Hollers: Does Anybody hear? An Introduction to Charley Patton" by Dick Spottswood 5. "Charley Patton: the Conscience of the Delta" by David Evans 6. "The Worlds of Charley Patton" by Edward Komara 7. "Charley Reconsidered Thirty Five Years On" by John Fahey. 8. Track listing 9. Song Notes and Transcriptions by Dick Spottswood (fascinating that "Howlin' Wolf" the greatest is referred to throughout as "The" Howlin' Wolf. 10. Appendix (written and compiled by Edward Komara) 11. Credits list #s 4-10 take us though to page 128. 12. Next are 11 pages of stickers, 6 per page representing original 78rpm labels. I am not sure what you are supposed to do with them!??!?! 13. 6 pages of record company advertisements (one of these is shown at picture #4 along with the John Fahey book (#3 abbove) 14. 7 cds which are brilliantly shown to represent 10" records.

**Pentangle: The Time Has Come 1967-1973 as new 65 track collection from the traditional UK folk group whose main members are Bert Jansch and John Renbourn with the flawless voice of Jackie McShee on vocals; the other 2 sing as well of course. 4cds plus 56 page book. $60

**Respect: A Century of Women in Music $70 Stunning velvet covered 5 cd box with 80 page book written by the best female writers in the rock and pop world. It encompasses all styles and is beautifully presented. 114 tracks. Holy Emily Pankhurst! Holy Gary Pankhurst! This is just great. 21 x 26 cm velvet covered box.

**Roxy Music “The Thrill of It All” 4cds as new $48 26 x 15 cm hardcover style box plus large colour booklet. Featured Brian Ferry. 71 tracks.

** Sony Music/ Tree Publishing presents Volume 1 The Country Collection” This 15 x 26 cm hard box is in as new condition and has 6 cds with 120 or so tracks. Has a real cross section. This box was a promotional item put out by Tree Publishing. The book has a kind of pitching it to you feel with descritions of the songs and recommendations to record them $40 Exceptional value

**George Strait “Strait Out of the Box” 4cds + book 72 tracks. As new 30 x 16 cm box with book. This dates from 1995 which was almost a pivotal year for George as his recordings got safer and safer and blander and blander in every subsequent year, so much so that I have not attempted to listen to any of his recent stuff. This is the prime period Strait. As you will note I rate his “Beyond the Blue Neon” as one of the greatest country albums which it is and this box serves as a stunning reminder of how good George Strait was. $55

**Tanya Tucker “tanya Tucker” 58 tracks over 4 cd in 30 x 15 cm fold out style hard box. 48 page colour book with lots of info, some you may not want to share. $45

**Waylon: Nashville Rebel Beautifully presented black embossed box 26 x 15 cm hard cover with spectacular similarly sized 140 page book with an amazing bunch of essays from the likes of Shooter Jennings, lenny Kaye, Jessi Colter and the main section by Rich Kienzle 92 tracks. $65 As new.

**Waylon: Only Daddy That’ll walk the Line 2cds $25 30 x 15 cm box with 40 tracks and 20 pg book. The contents are as new and the box has a few marks. A great set if you want the basic best of Waylon.

** Hank Williams III – Collector’s Edition $35 His first 3 albums (4cds in total) in a very attractive 15 x 15 x 3 cm tin. Great deal if you don’t have any and a spectacularly necessary one IMO

I know the silver bodgie wasn’t impressed when asked if he would appear at a benefit. He said “They give benefits for stupidity”? Incidentally the Revell company put out a famous kid’s toy, the Revell Digger and this was reversed to give the name.

Books All are in new or as new condition. HC means hard cover. SB means soft.

30 Years on the Road with Gene Autry:My Recollections $35 By Johnny Bond HC Published after Autry’s death by Bond’s daughter as her father didn’t want to portray Autry in a negative light when still alive.

All Hopped Up and Ready to Go: Music from the Streets of New York 1927-1977 SC 453 pp Covers all music but has perhaps the biggest on the Greenwich Village folk movement and the folk movement in general as well as the origins of black music in Harlem etc. $15

An Epic Life: Willie Nelson Joe Nick Patoski 567 pp HC Stunning biography. Great photos and a bunch of stuff you haven’t previously read. Gives a great musical as well as personal perspective. $30

Behind the Grand Ol Opry Curtain: Tales of Romance and Tragedy $30 Great 416 HC book by Robert Oermann, arguably the best of the Nashville writers. Not quite Nashville Babylon but a hard to put down item. I do have a copy myself.

Born Country: Randy Owen with Allen Rucker HC 275 pp $15 the story of Alabama’s lead vocalist. Nice bits about trying to get that first break.

Good Natured Riot: The Birth of the Grand Ol Opry Charles k Wolfe HC 312 pages. The late Charles Wolfe was not only one of the greatest authorities on early country music he was able to write about it in an always interesting manner with great anecdotes. As such he stands alone in this field. Great book. $30

Hayloft Gang: Story of the National Barn Dance edited by Chad Berry SB 215 pp lots of photos. Chicago’s National Barn Dance was the main competition for the Grand Ol Opry under the auspices of John Lair. $15

Heartaches by the Number: Country Music’s 500 Greatest Singles SB 295pp large book. David Cantwell & Bill Friskics-Warren. A great read even if it does not rate the songs as you may expect. Lots of anecdotes and information. And of course it invokes a double “how dare they”! response with why did they put that in or how could they leave that out. Still a great read. $30

Historic Photos of the Opry: Ryman Auditorium 1974 Jim McGuire 190 pp HC coffee table style book. Great photos and info. Forward by Garrison Keillor and Marty Stuart. $25

Honky Tonk Heroes & Hillbilly Angels by Laura Levine HC $10 rather thin book with caricatures of a bunch of artists from Hank Williams to Kitty wells. Personally I would suggest finding your favourite and getting a couple of frames. Would be a nice item for your shelves.

Guitar Towns: Journey to the Crossroads of Rock & Roll HC $18 Covers a bunch of musical centres outside the usual New York, Nashville, Chicago and La. Includes New Orleans, Jackson (Mississippi), Bakersfield, Muscle Shoals, Cincinatti etc. Again covers a variety of styles with of course country being to the fore

He Is I Say: Neil Diamond HC 203 pp $15 David Wild.

Little Miss Dynamite: The Life and Times of Brenda Lee HC Robert Oermann 302 pp Brenda’s book is written first person style with ghosting by Oermann, one of Nashville’s best scribes and Julie Clay. Lots of anecdotes about the people she met who ultimately influenced her singing and performing styles. $18

Man of Constant Sorrow: My Life and Times Dr Ralph Stanley with Eddie Dean 452pp released end 2009. A great book from the perspective of the greatest living bluegrass artist. $35

Jimmie Rodgers: The Life and Times of America’s Blue Yodeller SB 460 pp Great definitive bio on the first great country music artist. One of the best country music books ever written. Superb text and anecdotes and some wonderful photographs. $25

King of the Cowboys and Queen of the West: Roy Rogers & Dale Evans Raymond E White HB 530pp This is a real encyclopaedia about Roy & Dale and deals with their recording careers, movie careers and televison careers with a discography, filmography and I guess you’d have to say teeveeography. Large size hardcover book would be a must for all fans. Great detail and no stone is left unturned $35

Music of Bill Monroe : Neil Rosenberg & Charles K Wolfe HC A complete discography 350 pages. This is a large book. The sessions are written about in depth and then discography details are aso given in depth. Of that “Bill Monroe & Friends” album I have often referred to with the lengthy spoken introductions they say “Some between Monroe and John Hartford and Monroe and Ricky Skaggs sound genuine and sincere whilst others are full of obsequious Nashville gush.” Hell, that’s why I love it!! Great book, $30

Nashville Portraits Jim McGuire HC Great coffee table book with portraits and tributes by a bunch of people they have influenced. You look at a 20 year old Steve Earle and wonder where he went wrong. Some of McGuire’s photographs graced the covers of albums. They are all pretty good. Nice bluegrass perspective on a lot of the photos. $25 142 pp

Old Roots & New Routes Pamela Fox & Barbara Ching SB $15 Any book that has a chapter on Neko Case (a footnote is too much) comes across as a wank and a half, as the Queen Mother once said. Generally the so called alt country is as bad as the Nashville variety and is guided by the old Emperor’s New Clothes syndrome in that no one is game to say it is crap for fear of being labelled as uncool. The Cosmic Cowboy & myself make no such reservation, but if you want to get a perspective on the rationale of the alt country movement then this is for you. 281pp

Public Cowboy Number 1: The Life and Times of Gene Autry SB 406pp

Holly George-warren’s book gives a warts and all account of Gene Autry. Nice anecdotes and yes he did ride side saddle with Gail “Annie Oakley’ Davis. Also has a discography of Autry’s recording sessions. $25

River of No Return: Tennessee Ernie Ford and the Woman he Loved 255pp HC by Jeffrey Buckner Ford (Ern’s eldest son) This is a real warts & all book about the seemingly always jovial Ern which indicates he wasn’t and carried many demons including being a chronic alcoholic. But it also delves into the part he played in recording history and I bet you didn’t know that one of the 50s biggest songs in any style of music was sent out as a b-side (“Sixteen Tons” of course). $30

Rough Mix: The Jimmy Bowen story HC $18 Great book about Bowen formerly as a performer and then as a producer and head of Liberty when Garth Brooks was on the label. Makes great reading and you should pump your fists ever times Bowen disses Brooks. Wundabar!!

Shot in the Dark:Making Records in Nashville 1945-1955 Martin Hawkins HC. Stunning coffee table style book with lots of text and great pictures. The title is pretty self explanatory and whilst the emphasis is of course on country music a lot of other styles are covered. US publisher’s price is US$65. This is must at $35. Absolutely wonderful.

Statler Brothers Random Memories by Don & Harold Reid $30 HC 288 pgs

Tammy Wynette “Tragic Country Music Queen” $35 Brand new 448 HC biography.

Those Grand Ole Opry Country Music Stars David Liverett 245pp PB Liverett gives a page by page ru down on the artist’s career as well as illustrating each entry. Not essential by any means but interesting as he features a lot of artists you never see written about except in passing eg Gordon Terry, the man who I would nominate #1 in the list of “How could he have not been a huge star”. $12

Waiting for a Train: Jimmie Rodgers’s America edited by Mary Davis and Warren Zanes SB A great collection of essays about the man and his times. Writers include Bob Dylan, biographer Nolan Porterfield, the always interesting Nick Tosches, Bill Malone, Charles Wolfe and many more. 299pp $25

Who Says You Can’t Cook It All Alan Jackson Yes, a Jackson family cookbook. About 100 pg SB If a Jackson fan you may just want it. $8

So that’s all for this time folks. Hope you can fine something to your liking.

Regards
