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 ($7.50) 3kgs ($11.50) 5kgs ($14.50) P & P. The latter 2 are perfect for larger interstate packages as anything over 500 grams even is going to cost more than $11.50. 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. Again Australia Post have this ludicrous notion that if a package can fit through a certain slot on a card it goes as a letter whereas if it doesn’t it is classified as a “parcel” and can cost up to 5 times as much. One day I will send a letter to the Minister for Trade as their policies are distinctly prejudicial to commerce. Out here they make massive profits but offer a very poor number of services and charge top dollar for what they do provide. Still, the mail mostly always gets there. But until ssuch times as their local monopoly remains, things won’t be much different.

Some are in the rarities section and lo & behold the Frankie Miller is a new release. Rest assured John holds a similar feeling about today’s so called Nashville country as I do so this is a great traditionalist

list....Mickey Newbury is a bit out there for my tastes but then again that is a minority. Would love to sit Honest John down with the Swedish Cowboy. It would be a battle to the end with ‘great album except for the 7th track’ being a much featured part of the conversation.

LATEST & NEW ARRIVALS Blake & Kendall Barnes “Welcome to Barnes Country” $28 Blake and Kendall Barnes are a father & daughter duo. Kendall is 13! Now, I know what the cynics might say and I must admit being one prior to hearing this album but that changed moments after it started. They really don’t do duets starting with a track from Blake and then Kendall and so on. Blake’s opening “My Baby Turns the Lights on Uptown” may be the best opening track you will hear all year. The Swedish Cowboy reckoned it took five seconds to fall in love with this and I think I agree. Production is by the wonderful Justin Trevino and the opening steel guitar by Dicky Overbey will hook you immediately. Blakes voice is classic country all the way and you can tell his nuances have a little Jones in them. Justin and the wonderful Amber Digby provide backing vocals. What sets Kendall apart is the wonderful expression she gets in her vocals. It indeed reminds of Brenda Lee. She shines on “A Tear Dropped By” and her version of Dolly’s early “Dumb Blonde” is simply fabulous. Blake’s version of Leon Payne’s “Things Have Gone to Pieces”, a tale of things still having the chance of getting a little worse, is a a show stopper. Goose bump stuff and there is even a tickle of a Mel Street influence in there. Ray Griff’s “Better Move It On Home”, previously done by Porter and Dolly. is a duet. Kendall is simply fabulous in this upbeat number which almost has a rockabilly feel to it. The only duet as such, which normally would be something to lament, but not the case on this album. The material is great. Whilst many are covers they are certainly ones that are not that familiar. Such a case is Harlan Howard’s “Imagination Is a Wonderful Thing”, handled beautifully by Blake. “Ain’t Had no Lovin’” , sung by Kendall is a knockout. Such expression; it sets here apart. The name Jerry Chesnutt in the songwriting credits always excites “On the Back Row” is superb and Blake is abetted superbly by Amber Digby on this gem....as he sits in the back row of the church as he watches his love wed another man. “Nobody But a Fool”, one of the many Bill Anderson gems recorded by Connie Smith is another showcase for Kendall, and I might add has a great steel guitar solo. 13 tracks and I love them all. 6 by each and one true duet. Individually and collectively, this has album of the year written all over it. Every track a gem. Kimberly Murray & Bob Manning “One Night Only!: The honky Tonk Roadshow” $28 The title of this is a tad misleading as it seems to me to indicate a live album but it is a studio album by this fairly recently married pair and a duet album which harks back to the classic country albums of Porter & Dolly, Loretta & Conway/Ernest etc, but includes a selection of choice solo tracks as well. Classic retro styled cover.The tracks are all originals. The songs are great. Kimberly does the lead on “Blame This Mess on You” about a woman scorned...who sits alone at the table made for two...”I’ll have to tip the waitress & blame this mess on you”. “From Wher I Came”, was surely on a Haggard album, but no Bob wrote it. He captures the reflective style of Haggard as well as anyone....yep even the man himself. Classic themes appear throughout. “Cheatin’ Side of Life” features Justin Trevino’s name in the credits. Some great exchanges with Bob painted as the ultimate heel.....with his begging “don’t tell my wife”. “When I’m Drunk” is a classic tale of regret sung by Kimberly Murray. “Bunkhouse Breakdown”, the album’s second last (of 13) tracks is a classic country instrumental which leads to the bluesy finale, “The Devil Makes No Change”. The product of their singular talent is reflected in this gem. Benny Berry “Bugle Ann” $20 Benny is a true an enigma. Mike Headrick, who most will know is my pick as the greatest producer in modern country history actually told me that he is probably Benny’s greatest friend but does not really understand him. Everyone

who has heard Benny sing would rate him as good a singer as they have ever heard... Jones, Haggard ...you name it. Benny made this unplugged album for some of his friends. It is just Benny and his guitar He introduces the songs in his delightful Oklahoman drawl. His between song rants may be a bit much for some but the songs are a delight. It is a document that gives credence to Mike Headrick’s statement. Songs are great: Bugle Ann/ Pickin’ Wildflowers/ There Goes the Farm/ Too Old to Die Young/ Jesus on the Radio (Tom T Hall song)/ All That Matters Anymore/ Give My Heart to You. Plus spoken introductions. A revealing, sometimes sad, sometimes happy document but one I would really recommend Benny Berry fans listen to. Bill Anderson “From This Pen/ Get While the Gettin’s Good” $30 UK 2 on 1 which may be ideal for those who are a bit intimidated by the size of the Bear Family box. Sometimes Bill’s merit as a songwriter gets overlooked, so it is a delight just to read the titles Saginaw Michigan/ City Lights/ Once a Day/ Mama Sang a Song/ Tip of My Fingers/ I’ve Enjoyed About as Much of this As I Can Stand/ Still etc. Great examples of the Nashville sound. Jordinaires feature as well. 25 tracks in all. John Conlee “Harmony/ American Faces” $30 Same series with 2 of John Conlee’s Impossible to get CBS albums from 1986 & 1987. Highlights include his version of “Class Reunion” which I rate better than the Statler Brothers and the # 1 hit “Got My Heart Set On You’. Also interesting to compare his “Mama’s Rockin’ Chair” with that of Benny Berry. Today when country music has such an homogenised sound it is refreshing to hear such a distinctive voice. Tompall & the Glaser Brothers “Award Winners/ Rings & Things” $30 Anothe rfine 2on 1 issued in the UK featuring 2 of their early 70s albums. The first has their interpretations (always more than worthwhile) of classic country songs, whilst the title song from the second was one of their biggest hits and was also covered by Twiggy, of all people, and by gum she did a great job of it. Clinton Gregory “Too Much Ain’t Enough” $28 One of the most popular independent artists of the early 90s on the now (sadly) defunct Step One Records where over the course of several albums, Clinton esatablished himself as a star to be reckoned with. This is his first in what must be 10 years or more. Pleased to say the wait has been well worth it. “Too Country for Nashville” is a great look back how things were back in those days. A witty number by Tommy Barnes & Wild Bill Emerson. Great humour, and something you will also find on the fabulous “You Play Like Chet”. Then there are classic country songs which great turns of phrase such as (on “It Took Every Tear”) “ it took every tear I had to keep from crying”. The balance of the songs is excellent. The album flows beautifully. “If That Ain’t Jones” is a song about a song...true or fiction I haven’t worked out...but of course Jones carries the name of George. Jerry Salley is one of Nashville’s best writers ,who among other things wrote the song Catherine Britt did with Elton John. His contribution here is “Chase Away the Lonely” which really seems like a biographical song about Clinton. Pebe Sebert, who with then husband Hugh Moffatt, was responsible for the classic “Old Flames (Can’t hold a Candle to You)” pops up with “You Smile”, which continues the excellence in the songs. A classic country ballad, which is just wonderful. “The Crucifixion” is one of only two songs by Clinton on this album. No surprises, a very religious song. “The New” concluding track also has a religious connotation. These two may be a little deep for some but on the strength of the first ten tracks, this is Clinton’s best album. A gem, and very attractively packaged as well. Davy Jay Sparrow & His Well Known Famous Drovers “Olde Fashioned” $28 If you could imagine a style where Hank III/ wayne the Train meets Br549 meets Don Walser you would get a rough approximation of this excellent retro styled album with some wonderful hillbilly/ rockabilly overtones. Davy Jay is actually responsible for 9 of the 12 songs and they have a very authentic flavour. “Honky Tonkin’ Daddy”, the opener is exceptional. He also varies the pace such as on “Slow Slow Boogie” and “Think Again”,

5

the former has a very Wayne the Train vocal and features excellent steel guitar from Chance Wagner and slap bass from Justin Meier. The latter has some wonderful piano fills. Could almost be Hank Williams singing. A lot of these retro style albums are pedal to the metal and the variety Davy Jay shows makes it refreshing. BUT, there is nothing like a frantic boogie and he delivers superbly on the instrumental “Well Known Famous Boogie”, where everyone gets a little solo. They really romp on “Swing Around My Walkin’ Cane” an adaptation as you may expect of “Hand Me Donw My Walking Cane” which is expertly handled with a nice yodel trill thrown in. Great album, which garnered a 5 star review in Country Music People magazine. Marty Stuart “Nashville Volume 1: Tear the Woodpile Down” $28 Marty has been one of the real protectors of the true country sound and has had a swag of albums out of which 2 for mine stand above all. Thesee aare “The Pilgrim” and “Hillbilly Rock”. Well I reckon if you combined the two you’d come up with this gem, which for mine is the best thing Marty has done so far. He is joined by some unusual guets including Kenny Lovelace, long time sideman of Jerry Lee Lewis and Buck Trent. He is joined by two members of country music royalty. Lorrie Carter Bennett is the daughter of Anita Carter and contributes hamronies on the appropriately named “A Song of Sadness” and Hank III of course is grandson of Hank Williams and is great on “Pictures froim Life’s Other Side”. I might add that Marty is joined in the guitar role by Kenny Vaughan, who is the son of Jimmy and nephew of Stevie Ray. He engages in comparable guitar duels as did Marty and the excellent Richard Bennett on that earlier “Hillbilly Rock” album. As mentioned earlier I love the songsof Jerry Chesnut and perhaps the highlight is his “Holdin’ on to nothin’” , which was previously a hit for Porter & Dolly but is done solo by Marty. He could have very well brought his wife, Connie Smith, in for this but handlesi t more than admirably by himself. Yes, this is hard to beat. I read a quote from mArty recently in which he said “the most outlaw thing you can do in Nashville nowadays is play country music”...so I gues you could call this an outlaw album. Great stuff. T Jae Christian “I Wish I Was Home” $28 T Jae is part of Y & T country music royalty. This, for starters, is a massive 22 tracks long and features 17 new tracks plus 5 that are from his earlier album, ‘Marriage on the Rocks”. T Jae is a classic drawling vocalist and he does things that he really has no right to do yet always manages to pull them off. For example on an earlier album he had the temerity to do a version of “He Stopped Loving Her Today’. Now, you would expect to say, why? What you wouldn’t expect is for someone to pull it off so deliciously so that it could stand beside the Jones’ version and yes, you would actually want both. On this new cd he does Kristofferson’s “Lovin’ Her Was Easier” and pulls it off brilliantly. T Jae’s voice is nearly as deep but ten times as tuneful. It is like hearing it for the first time. He is joined on two tracks by T Graham Brown (yep...they share the same name...”T” that is) and as a duet the fabulous “Bag of Bones” is even better than when it was on Brown’s solo album. He is also joined by songwriter, Lola Jean Dillon, on her “I’ve Learned to Lie”, which I know from a version by Josh Logan and guess what, T Jae’s is the equal. As always T Jae’s own songs are as good as any. Favourite is the wonderful “Ol’ Sad Songs” with its wonderful refrain...”memories, whiskey and old sad songs”. On an earlier album he handed the vocal chore to Chance Martin, who was reborn as the fabulous Alamo Jones, one of the albums of the year. This time he gives the lead on one song to Roy August, who co-write “The Way I never Knew How” with T Jae. Fabulous artist Curt Ryle provides “Slow Death” a superb ballad which provides the opportunity for T Jae to absolutelty sore. Stunning. Albums like this are treasures. T Jae is in the best ever independent artist list and is also a treasure. T Jae Christian “Put Me Down Easy Lord” $28 We also have restocked this gospel album. 11 songs but none are familiar. “I Don’t Care Where You Dig That Hole” is a witty Ken Holloway song (himself a great artist) , about a guy trying to sell a funeral plot. “This Is Where Jesus Would Go” is a reflective song about where Jesus would go if he

returned. And it wouldn’t be a true gospel album without an anti-honky tonk song and lo & behold we get a couple from the pen of Mike Manuel, himself a recording artist so it seems. Wonderful and refreshing album. Beverly & the Rockabillys “Dark Side of the Barn” $28 This excellent group from Okalhoma provide a wonderful mix of rockabilly and honky tonk. All original songs as well, with personal favourites be the great “I Like It Strong”, in which Beverly certainly doesn’t opt for any safe options and the opening ‘Put a Little Hank On It” Beverly is the slap bass player as well as the vocalist. Lots of humour and a greta debut. Beverly’s name by the way is Beverly Haggard...could it possibly be?? Leona Williams “Duets” $28 Leona is one of the best female country singers and was married at one time to Merle Haggard. Her son, Ron Williams, from a previous marriage, is a fine singer in his own right and certainly took note of his step-father’s style. He joins his mother on two songs including the Haggard classic “Somewhere Between”. That is for starters. There is a very generous 18 tracks and duet partners also include, Johnny Bush, George Jones, Ferlin Husky, Justin Trevino, Frankie Miller and Joe Paul Nichols. The best for mine may be the one with another of our indie gods, Billy Keeble , on the fabulous “I’m So Afraid of Losing You”. The Cornell Hurd Band: Drop In On My Dream, $28 (Guest reviewer The Swedish Cowboy) Wow! What an album! Of all the excellent Cornell Hurd albums we have got through the years this must be the most excellent! All 14 songs are new and original, and not only that, they are all excellent. The band is just getting tighter and better, and the songs are just getting better too. Not a half weak song in sight. Why isn’t this genius and his wonderful big band out there tearing down the big venues instead of Asleep At The Wheel? Well, you cannot travel with this size of a band, and these musicians have other jobs in Austin. This is my type of music all the way! I love it! I couldn’t agree more. The centrepoint of the great group is of course the wonderfully amiable Cornell with wonderful instrumentalists Howard Kallish (on fiddle), Scott Walls (on steel Guitar), T jarrod Bonta (piano) and Allen Crider on guitar, who has slotted into the guitarist role since the passing of the legendary Paul Skelton. He has also slotted into the role of producer and one of the key songwriters.Would have to endorse the Cowboy’s comments re Asleep at the Wheel. Give me Cornell Hurd any day of the week, Jason Allen “Lovin’ You” $28 Jason is a Texan and this is maybe his third album. This time it is released on the Smith Music Group label and it maintains his Texas roots and has a good balance of songs that are quite reminiscent of country as it was in the late 80s and early 90s. That is a true compliment by the way. Best is probably the tex Mex...”Just let me prove it to you” and who could resist a song called “Mama Got Jesus”, with just that little hint of the tongue in cheek. Oh, if we could only get back to how it was. Billy Keeble “Just for You” $28 Just hit the decks the latest from the member of Yesterday & Today Records Indie Hall of Fame, the fabulous Billy Keeble. How can you top that? Well...the cd is produced by the wonderful Curt Ryle, who co-wrote a song with Billy, “Sharla Amne’s Ghost”. Billy is the honky tonker we all love. Many Y & T folks would knw “I Wish I’d Never Borrowed Somebody’s Angel’ and Billy exceeds al lwe have heard. Just in so again a quick run through. Hard to believe may be his best. We also have limited stock of Billy’s last album “Sings Wynn Stewart” $28 Joey & Rory “His and Hers” $28 Just in so haven’t had much of a listen. Firstly this is the edition ONLY available at Walmart and only available for purchase in the USA. Well here it is. There last album was in 2010 and was our hands down winner of Album of the Year, and deservedly so. This goes a step further as Rory (the guy) shares the lead vocal

7

chores with Joey (the gal). His reluctance to sing may have been understandable given Joey is such a stunning singer but fear not he is simply superb. “Bible and a Belt” is a song in which he tells how he was raised...he had to believe in two things; the belt by the way is the leather one that goes around the middle. He is fabulous on the opener “Josephine”, set in the Civil war, it concerns a soldier missing his loved ones. Rivetting track. Certainly not all beer & skittles. Always trying a little bit more “Someday Whe n IGrow Up” is a jazzy little ditty..laid back and nice. “When I’m Gone” on the other hand is a sad ballad featuring Joey. What a voice. “Let’s Pretend We Never Met’ is classic upbeat Joey & Rory song. Again there are two additional tracks:” Play Me the Waltz of the Angels” and “In the Time You Gave Me”. Album of the year 2010...I smell an encore. Fabulous cd. Karen Collins “No Yodelling on the Radio” $28 Classic honky tonk. The title song is a lament about the changing passage of time and its effect on music. “Mama’s in a Honky Tonk Downtown’ features band member Geff King, who was a member of the great indie group Honky Tonk Confidential. Great song in which he tells his kids all about their errant Mama. This is just a great cd. “I’m a Walkin’ Advertisement for the Blues” is very Loretta Lynn inspired and you can’t get much more of a recommendation that that. The great “Salvation Saloon” is classic honky tonk. Great album with good songs. POP GOES THE COUNTRY DVDs 20 volume set $350 This is from the same folks who gave us the Porter Wagoner Shows. This was also a syndicated TV show in the USA, hosted by a number of different comperes including Ralph Emery. The title may give a wrong impression. Each dvd has 6 shows and has a 2 hour running time, so put aside plenty of time if you want to watch in one sitting. The first dvd features FAron Young, Connie Smith, Freddy Weller, Merle Haggard (with Leona Williams), SAmmi Smith, Hank Williams jnr, Mickey Gilley, LaCosta (Tucker), Ronnie Milsap and a full show of Willie Rex Allen Jnr, Johnny Rodriguez, Billy Crash Craddock etc. As you can see, great artists you don’t normally see. They have only just brought out an additional 4 volumes which are not sold as part of the package. What can you say...I will do a special on the additional 4 for $80. Normally they are $25 each when purchased as single dvds. MICKEY NEWBURY “Live at the Hermitage” dvd $38 This is not a continuing item I’m afraid as this was just 5 my supplier found in his stock...it is not currently available. Mickey’s recordings are controlled by his family and they frankly don’t do a great job. That is what is called an understatement. The quality of this is exceptional and his performance is riveting and charismatic. That is from a non Newbury fan. So again a once off and only 5 copies. Don’t hesitate. The Thirty Third of August * Apples Dipped In Candy*Juble Lee's Revival * Frisco Mabel Joy * Earthquake*Ramblin' Blues * My Lady Now * Lie To Me Darlin'*Genevieve * Just Dropped In * Mickey Growing Up*Amazing Grace - Cortelia Clark * What Will I Do*Saint CeCelia Four Ladies * Nights When I Am Sane*Tokyo Song Festival - Heaven Help The Child*A Weed Is A Weed * Jessie & Maggie*Angeline * Poison Red Berries*American Trilogy * 147 minutes Norma Jean “Pretty Miss Norma Jean” DVD $25 Brand new release from the Classic country dvd folks with this featuring 2 hours of the best of Noma Jean both solo and with Porter. She was a member on the Porter Wagoner Show between 1962 and 1967 and the earlier years are in black and white and the latter are in colour. Johnny Cash TV Shows 2DVD $45 Now out of print locally and have been asked for this on a number of occasions. This features over 4 hours duration with 66 performances. Lots of great insights including a very special one on Linda Ronstadt, who appears in a great version (with Cash) of the traditional “I Never Will Marry” All the superstars are her and the sound and picture quality is stunning.

Woody Guthrie “ Woody at 100: the Woody Guthrie Centennial Celebration” Smithsonian Folkways $100 This is basically in the form of a 154 page lp size book (a la Bear Family) in which the cds fit. It has 3 cds 57 tracks including 21 previously unrelased. Notes are by Smithsonian researcher Jeff Place and include lots of hitherto unpublished material. Would love to break one open but will not yield to temptation. Woody is essentially a folk artist but his importance in the history of American Country Music cannot be understated. Woody Guthrie “Live Wire: In Performance 1949” $28 We also have this gem. This was a recently located live performance captured on a wire recorder and remained unreleased. The sound is quite good. It includes an opening address from Woody and he runs through many of his classics paying particular attention to many of the “Dust Bowl Ballad” songs. He also does an immaculate “Grand Coulee Damn,” which was covered by Bob Dylan on the famous Woody Guthrie Tribute album. More than just an historical document, Frankie Miller “ Back When Gas was Thirty Cents a Gallon” $28 Frankie’s latest offering on the Heart of Texas label is superb. I bow to Honest John and his appraisal. The Heart of Texas crew is stunning as always with Jim Loessburg on steel and Bobby Flores or fiddle being outstanding. He is joined by fellow H O T artist, Darrell McCall on “YoungfWidow Brown” & by Mona McCall on “Put me in Your Pocket” Like Ray Price Frankie gets better with age. “Macarthur’s Hand” would be familiar to Cal Smith fans and Frankie does a sterling job on this. A gem. Bobby G Rice “Down in Texas” $28 May not be a name known to everyone but had 30 Billboard charting singles including a #3 hit in “You Lay So Easy on my Mind”, a version of which is included here. He is joined by the Heart of Texas crew and reprises a number of his hits such as “Mountain of Love” which sounds fresher than ever. The Swedish Cowboy will be salivating with a host of shuffles. He is joined by Amber igby on backing vocals and includes a duet with former RCA recording artist, Dottsy, on “I Think We’re On to Something” Kelly Spinks “ Right Out of this World” $28 You wish hard enough for anything and it comes. I was telling Big Bad John that another album from kelly Spinks would be grand and lo & behold here it is. His voice has deepened a little and it is pretty safe to say he bears more of a resemblance to Mark Chesnutt than ever especially on the wonderful “Who’s the Stranger at Our Door”. Cheating and barroom songs are in prominence and he handles the ms uperbly. Just for the traditionalists he nails Stony Edwards’ wonderful tale of “almost being a heel” on “Two Doillar Toy”. Then it is back to “Barmaids & Barstools” and a great workut on “Texas Fiddle Man” , which I think was done by the great Alvin Crow. As good as his previous two albums were, I would say this was better. Omni New Releases **Grandpa Jones “Everybody’s Grandpa/ Sings Hits from Hee Haw” $28 32 tracks with two complet albums plus rare b sides. **CW McCall “Wolf Creek Pass” $28. This will be in any tick of the clock. This has C W McCall’s second albuma s its focus and has 25 tracks with his unique style. I love his humorous apocalyptic (if there is such a thing” There Won’t Be No Country Music (There Won’t Be No Rock ‘N Roll). Red Jenkins “Cheating Heart Motel” $30 Swedish artist who has gone to the honky tonk university and achieved first class honours.

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 $18 Early nineties “solo” cd from George Strait’s touring band. Includes guest vocals by Mel Tillis & Darrell McCall. Anderson, John – “Blue Skies Again” (MCA 1987) $30 Sealed copy of post WB album. It was a return to the more traditionalist style and is the only place you will get JA’s wonderful duet with Waylon Jennings, “Somewhere Between Ragged & Right”.. Anthony, Rayburn “By the Way” (CMC Sweden) $30 1996 gem featuring some of Nashville’s best pickers including Hargus “Pig” Robbins on piano and the late John

11

Hughey on steel guitar. The title song is a co-write with the great Max D Barnes. The material is first rate including a couple of biographical songs “Nashville Here I Come” and “Back to My Roots”. Anthony, Rayburn “Country Music Fan” (CMC Sweden) $40 Even better with the fabulous title track leading the way with its references to Cash, Loretta etc....”I like songs about mama, pickup trucks and trains”...it ain’t corny...it is real. What’s more there are 22 tracks and none are less than great. Shuffles, a bit of outlaw stuff and what may be best ever interpretations of some covers such as Harlan Howard’s “I Don’t Believe I’ll Fall in Love Today”, yes even better than Buck and Conway. Arledge, Kenny “I Barely Get By” (King’s Country) $28 This was released in Australia (although Kenny is an American)in the early 90s and shows Kenny as a Jones’ influenced vocalist. Produced in Nashville with a great bunch of pickers. Best is possibly Wayne Kemp’s “Don’t Send me No Angels’ plus two of Kenny’s own songs which conclude this album. Atkins/Reed “Sneakin’ Around” $25 Chet’s3rd album with Jerry Reed is full of great picking & the wonderful interplay of the first two. “Gibson Girl” is a great song about a guitar though it takes a while before you can cotton on to that. Ball, David “David Ball” $25 $15 BARGAIN OF THE MONTH 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 fabulous version of Marty Robbins’ “Cigarettes & Coffee Blues” being the concluding track. A must for David Ball fans, and isn’t that just about everyone?? Bandy, Moe No Regrets $30 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 $30 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) $55 (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. Still sealed. As good as it gets. Bandy, Moe “Hank Williams You Wrote My Life/ Cowboys Ain’t Supposed to Cry” $35 Koch reissue of two of best Columbia albums. The former is not a Hank Williams’ covers album, but a reference to following every bad life style that Hank himself did. Two great honky tonk gems. Bandy, Moe “Following the Feeling” $28 Only ever issued in Australia on cd. Great honky tonker with the wonderful play on words of “Liquor Emotion” and the Dave Kirby gem “If I Lay Down the Bottle, Would You Lay Back Down With Me” being the absolute highlights. Bandy, Moe “Honky Tonk Amnesia: The Hard Country Sound of Moe Bandy” $30 Razor & Tie Hard to believe this gem collecting 20 of his best could go out of print but it has. Don’t let this last copy escape. Bandy, Moe “Act Naturally” $30 Rare 1997 album on Intersound which sees Moe do some great and unusual covers. Great is “Borrowed Angel” and he shows a surprising turn on “Crazy”. Don’t miss it” Bandy, Moe “Gospel Favorites” $25 Intersound 1995 out of print. Max D Barnes “Day After Forever” $35 This is the very last copy. 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

12

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 Down to one copy only of each. 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. Had a few of each but solitary copies now. Bogguss, Suzy/Chet Atkins Simpatico $25 $15 BARGAIN OF THE MONTH 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 “Larry Boone” $40 First copy of Larry’s Mercury debut I have had in a couple of years. Unlike his other albums his own songs were in the minority. Best known of them is “American Faces” title of a john Conlee album. Here are two songs by Texas songwriter David Chamberlain which shows the great state of country music in 1988 when this came out. 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 $35 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” $25 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. Brewer, Teresa “Music! Music! Music!: The Best of Teresa Brwer” $30 Varese. A pop artist with quite a bit of country leaning in places has been very poorly treated in the reissue market, so much so there has never been a box set nor is this 18 tracker with original versions of her hits is out of print.

13

Brown, Roger Rodeo Boogie $35 Great indie album from one of Texas’s best writers. He came to prominence on a five track album on Decca with his group Swing City. Some songs are cowrites with the equally fine Clay Blaker and several have a rodeo theme. One to treasure. Browne, Jann Tell Me Why $25 $15 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 $15 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. Hard to pick favourites as all so good. Maybe “The Last Cowboy Song” with almost a cameo appearance by Willie and of course his own “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow up to be Cowboys” and the delightfully melodic “When Youy Fall in Love Everything’s a Waltz”. BUT as implied they are all good. Bush, Johnny “Texas Legend Series Vol 2 Greatest Hit 1968-1972” $50 This is a wonderful cd that has the best ever drinking song on it. The 24 tracks are from the RCA archives and Johnny is in superb voice. Johnny’s biggest ever hit was his top 10 version of Marty Robbins’ “You Gave Me a Mountain” and followed his version of Willie Nelson’s “Undo the Right”. BUT it is the hard core honky tonk that really scores. “Jim, Jack & Rose” is all about Jim Beam, Jack Daniels and sweet Gypsy Rose but it is on “Bottle Bottle” where Johnny hits his mark. Although recorded earlier by Jim Ed Brown, Johnny’s version is superior in every way and the song is so damn clever. You think he is singing to his girl but he is singing to the amber bottle. “Gasping for air I come up from your lips, amazed at the beauty at my finger tips, Awed by the softness and warmth of your touch…bottle Bottle…why do I live you so much!!” Clever song, fabulous cd. Cargill, Henson “All American Cowboy” $48 Amethyst 20 tracker from the late 80s may have been Henson’s final hurrah as a recording artist but it equals the best he ever did. His voice has matured and in places sound a little like Ray Price especially on “Bridges I Have Burned”. He includes a new version of his biggest hit “Skip a Rope” and it is everything you would hope it would be. This is impossible to get. Several songs employ rodeo imagery. Cartwright, Lionel Lionel Cartwright $25 He debuted same time as Garth & Clint Black & his first was a stunner. “Like Father Like Son”, a Paul Overstreet song is a classic, whilst the rest are Lionel originals and stand up very well. Particularly good is “Little Lesser Blue”. Sounds as fine today as when first released. Cash, Tommy “The 25th Anniversary Album” $35 Playback label gem which features Tommy duetitng with some of the best. “Thoughts on the Flag” features the dream team of Tommy with brother Johnny Cash, George Jones and Tom T Hall...where else could you find Johnny Cash singing with George Jones?? It is just George who sings with Tommy on “Hank & George, Lefty & Me”. He does a one on one take with brother John on Jack Clement’s “Guess Things Happen That Way”, whilst the delightful Connie Smith is excellent on “We’ve Got Love”. Tommy is in excellent form throughout. Cash, Tommy “Let An Old Racehorse Run” $25 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!! Clark, Guy “Craftsman” $40 Philo re-issue of Guy’s 3 out of print Warner Brothers’ albums on 2CDs: Guy Clark/ South Coast of Texas/ Better Days. Includes 28 page booklet with sessionography, notes by Robert Oermann and lyrics. 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.

14

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” $20 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 $25 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 “Underground Album” $28 WARNING this is X rated. IT IS VERY RUDE. I am also finding them very hard to find. 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. Highlight is the wonderful “HopelesslyYours” which would even be better if it were the only song about the tropical disease, yaws, but it isn’t but still great. Conlee, John Blue Highway $35 $25 (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 “Crashes’ Smashes” $45 Razor & Tie. This is a great compilation of Crash's country recordings which are highlighted by the big worldwide hit "Rub It In". Crash was exceedingly popular in Australia due to his 50's hit "Boom Boom Baby", so much that when big acts such as the Everly Brothers toured Australia they were on the undercard. 19 tracks Crickets T-Shirt $30 $25 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 $28 (signed copy $35) 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. Curtis, Sonny No Stranger to the Rain $30.$25 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. 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. Dalton, Lacy J – Crazy Love $35 Capitol, followup to “Survivor” and right up there with it. Highlight is “Little Boy Blue” a song Lacy wrote about her own song and a

15

wonderful ballad that suits her husky voice. Great title track, a cover of an excellent Van Morrison song Dalton, Lacy J – Lacy J $30 Capitol..She was really on a roll. At this time she did a wonderful duet with Glen Campbell (“Woodcarver”) on his excellent “Walking in the Sun” album (we have it for $18) and this time Glen has returned to do the favour with the fine “Shaky Ground”. This album featured the very bluesy “Black Coffee”. Dalton, Lacy J “16th Avenue” $38 Columbia... Check out what this goes for!! Her 1982 album produced by Billy Sherrill and with one of the best ever tracks about the plight of the country music songwriter. Lacy wrote half the songs herein including the other hit “Blue Eyed Blues”. Again very very very (maybe one more) very hard to get. Damron, Dick “Still Countrified” $35 the legend and the legacy series bought out by Westwood in US features songs recorded in 1989 by Joe Bob Barnhill. His style is a tad reminiscent of Waylon and features all songs written by Dick, who is probably Canada’s greatest ever country singer. 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. Great value with 18 tracks which range from pure honky tonk to explorations of just about every style of 50s country. 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 “The Other Side of Love” $28 Nice Capitol label album from 1990 with al lbar two songs by Gail, who also produced. Davis, Joey “Love Songs, Waltz’s True Stories & Lies” $35 The spelling may be a bit out but 17 superb honky tonk tracks are as good as it can go.“Barroom Hall of Fame” may be the best. Everybody loves this album. This has been voted as one of the Top 10 indie albums of all time. Delray, Martin Get Rhythm $30 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 $20 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 $35 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. Love the angst filled ballads. Great artist still performing. 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, but whose version pales in comparison to that of Dean. Still more, a great duet with Tanya Tucker. Terrific album. We had one listed last newsletter...this is a different copy. Whether we wille be so lucky again is another matter. Dixie Chicks “Shouldn’t a Told You That” $35 Last of 3 albums prior to Natalie Maines joining the group. Interesting that they are credited as “Dixie Chicks Cowgirl Band”. Laura Lynch is the lead vocalist though Martie Erwin does the lead on “I Wasn’t Looking for You”. Nice album but they do “Planet of Love” by Jim Lauderdale one of the most turgidly awful songs I have ever heard YET it has been done by George Strait, Mandy Barnett, and even Felicity. It is just a hideous song that starts out slow and then goes backward from there. I don’t get it!! Don’t be put off as this is a nice album Dunn, Holly Across the Rio Grande $30 $25 Dunn, Holly Holly Dunn $35

16

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 (“Across the Rio Grande” had her delightful version of the title song, also done by Reba, but Holly wins!! All 3 albums are delightful. Dunn, Holly “Milestones: Limited Edition” 2CD $40 WB This was a promo only item which has the WB hit album “Milestones” BUT as a bonus this has “MTM Hits” cd which has 6 gems from this period interspersed with Holly’s comments on them. 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.. 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!! 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 wonderful and includes the hits “The Gospel According to Luke” and “Burning a Hole in My Heart”. Ford, Tennesee Ernie & Glen Campbell “Ernie Sings & Glen Picks $35 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” $35 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”. Four Preps “Capitol Collectors Series” Capitol $30 This is a gem and a great sampling of their work . Includes their biggest hit “Big Man” (“he was a big man yesterday but lord you ought to see him now”) plus “26 Miles Santa Catalina” and not forgetting “Down by the Station”. My favourites are two songs incorporating imitations of other groups (as the UK Barron Knights did with their “Call Up the Groups”). Four Preps do “More Money For You and Me” and “The Big Draft”. Still fun and 20 tracks all up 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. 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.

17

Gaffney, Chris “And the Cold Hard Facts” ROM label $40 Very hard to get debut album which also features that other great west coast artist Rick Shea. It has some great honky tonk, “Frank’s Tavern” and “Room 208” in particular, the latter could be Moe Bandy. “The Gardens” is a tale of a drive by shooting, something rather common in LA during the period. A fabulous cd, which he never quite equalled. George, Sonny Country & Western Roundup volume 1 $30 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”. Grand, Gil Famous Last Words Never actually released. $20 has partial graphics. Excellent Canadian artist. Gosdin, Vern Alone Columbia $35 $28 when it comes to sad crying in your beer style this may be the best ever album. Documents his broken marriage. It followed “Chiselled in Stone” and there is not a struck match between ths two. His vocal angst on “Alone” makes it one of the saddest songs ever. Whilst many rate George Jones as a lay down in the best country voice stakes I am not so sure. Gosdin, Vern The Voice $35 $25 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. Green, Bill “World of Make Believe” Neon Fire (Sweden) $35 Bill is from the San Antonio area of Texas and has his own label (see Bill Mata on the BGM label). His own albums are firmly rooted in the traditions of Ray Price and Johnny Bush. He is also versatile musician who on this album alone plays harmonica, steel guitar, fiddle, guitar and piano...bUT not all at once. Only his second album and a true delight, 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 include 3 duets with the wonderful Jeannie Seely. Highlight is mine later revived by Ricky Van Shelton, “Statue of a Fool”. Greene, Lorne “On the Ponderosa” Razor & Tie $35 Great 20 tracker taken from Lorne’s solo albums as well as the Bonanza cast albums. Whilst everyone knows “Ringo” his world wide hit I actually prefer the tale “An Ol’ Tin Cup (and a Battered Old Coffee Pot) about a miner who thinks he has the big one but found only fool’s gold. Haggard, Merle The Way I Am $55 $40 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 $25 Another out of print title. He covers Elvis & includes his own “From Graceland to the Promised Land”. Haggard, Merle Capitol Collectors Series $25 $18 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” $50 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 Williams “Mama I’ve Got to Go to Memphis”. Very good story in the “Life of a Rodeo Cowboy”. 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, 22 years old and only available here!! Haggard, Merle His Greatest And Best $25 $20 MCA collection which is very well compiled and features his great tribute to Tommy Collins, “Leonard”, one of his best ever songs IMO!

18

Haggard, Merle “Friend in California” $35 Original copy of this great album on the Epic label which includes his answer song “The Okie From Muskogee’s Coming Home”. He does a superb cover of Floyd Tillman’s classic “This Cold War With You”. Haggard, Merle “Country Boy” Pair $20 a good selection, no make that great selction, of 16 Capitol tracks that don’t really appear elsewhere. Hall, Tom T - Places I’ve Done Time $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. This features the great followup song “The Son of Clayton Delaney” The notes say “Tom T’s 1978 RCA album filled with the story songs about women, booze (and groceries), too! 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. Harris, Emmylou “Last Date” Eminent $48 Expanded version of Emmylou’s WB live gem which sees Barry Tashian taking the Gram Parsons’ part on the wonderful “We’ll Sweep Out the Ashes (In the Morning)”. Beautifully presented with new notes and slip case (goes over the jewel case). The label went bust...hard to believe. Harris, Emmylou “Cimarron” EMI Australia!! $28 This was also issued on the Eminent label but hard to get and this Aussie issue on the EMI legendary Masters series is the only place you will also find it. A great album highlighted by her soaring version of Poco’s “Rose of Cimarron” from where the album gets its title. Many highlights but I love her version of Sonny Throckmorton’s “Last Cheater’s Waltz” as well as a lovely version of Townes’ “If I Needed You”. Harris, Emmylou “Songbird” 4CD/ DVD + 200 page hard cover bound book with a stack of unissued tracks. 78 tracks plus 10 track DVD. There are actually 2 bound books which slide in a jacket. The book containing the cds slips together in this outer jacket. Both the copies I have are in pristine condition as far as the internals go. The cds and dvd in both are as new. This is not always the case as the action of taking them out and putting them back can scratch the discs but these are fine. Both external sleeves have a few very minor marks on them. I have two copies. Remember this is out of print all over the world.

a) European version has cardboard sleeve, designed to resemble the US cloth edition. $110

b) US edition Cloth box. $220....wait for it AUTOGRAPHED BY EMMYLOUHARRIS.

Hawkins, Hawkshaw ‘Im a Rattlesnakin’ Daddy $35 Out of print cd on the UK Westside wlabel which features his fabulous King recordings between 1946 and 1953 as well as the great version of Justin Tubb’s classic “Lonesome 77-203” which was a number one hit in 1963, after he tragically died in the plane crash which also killed Patsy Cline and Cowboy Copas. 24 tracks in all. Hayes, Wade “Wichita Lineman” Single $15 Never commercially available. It was going to be on one of his Epic label albums but the record company in its ultimate show of non-wisdom decided it was too country. The fools!! What we have is the best ever version of that song. They all pale into comparison to this. Wade gives it an almost Lefty style work out, deep deep drawl and it is stunning. Hobbs, Becky All Keyed Up $25 $18 Best ever female honky tonk album, with the b est 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 $28 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

19

of hit songs which featured equally fine musicianship, especially Jethro Burns on mandolin 20 track on Razor & Tie. OOP House, James James House $30 $20 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 $25His second MCA album was even better than his first self titled album & is very very hard to get. Howard, Harlan All Time Favorite Country Songwriter $35 1996 Koch reissue of Monument album, both long gone. Has 12 of his biggest hits sung by the Irving Berlin of country music, including gems “Heartaches by the Number”, “Tiger by the Tail”etc. Not a classic voice by any means but it is always something special to hear the song the way the writer intended. 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. This was only issued on the Hitsound label in Netherlands. Very much a legacy of the Outlaw movement and sung with great humour and spirit. Husky, Ferlin Vintage Collection $30 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). Has a great selction including “A Fallen Star”, the classic (and biggest one for him in Australia) “Wings of a Dove”, “A Dear John Letter” (with Jean Shepard) Jackson, Larry Blue Highway $40 (Loree label) I don’t think I have ever had a song like Larry’s “The Blue Highway” to attract a question as to who is it?? Larry’s voice I would suggest has been weathered to perfection. He is a superb singer and writer but alas these are his only two albums. You feel he has lived the songs. The sad “When Love Dies” has a real ache to it. He has real angst in his voice when he sings “Damn Those Memories”. Up there with the greatest indie cds ever Jackson, 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!!! 22 tracks including an all star performance of “Waterloo”. Jansen, Frank You’re a Phone Call I Need to Make $48 (Bob Grady) Jansen, Frank My Way or the Highway $40 (Pink Records) Staggeringly great albums, the first on the wonderful Bob Grady label with production from Mike Headrick (the Swedish Cowboy will NOT go to bed at night unless he has said a prayer of thanks under the mounted 8 x 10 signed Mike Headrick photograph that hangs proudly in his living room) . I know there are several who rate the title song of the first as one of the greatest album tracks ever, and I am not going to argue. Most of the tracks on the first are by Bob Grady whilst Frank proves himself a writer of the highest standard on the second. He is also a brilliant interpreter. On the first he does a wonderful version of Dwight Yoakam’s “The Heart That You Own”. Am I going to suggest Frank does it better than Dwight...yep, I am. 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. One only. 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

20

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 I was told”…no argument there…a classic case of “there but for the grace of God go I”. Jones, George Friends in High Places $25 $15 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 Too Wild Too Long $80 If you were a country music lp collector in the 80s you may have bought from an American, L. Stanley Baumruk who had the rarest albums. When one was so incredibly rare he would always use 2 words in his listing and I use the same 2 here.” Find one!”Next to impossible. Includes some great songs but the best has to be “The Old Man No One Loves”. Jones, George Wine Colored Roses $20 1986 album is very very hard to find on cd and includes classic Jones on “The Right Left Hand” a 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 $45 2 on 1. “Alone Again” is only available here & is rated one of his very best albums. Jones, George My Favorites of Hank Williams / Trouble in Mind $40 Long out of print EMI UK issue of two of George’s classic United Artists albums. Jones, George The Battle/Memories of Us $30 Two gems from 1975 and 1976. His Epic recordings Jones, George Bartender’s Blues $30 Has the great “Ain’t Your Memory Got No Pride at All’ plus a couple of songs with great wordplay “When Your Phone Don’t Ring, It’ll Be Me” and “I Ain’t Got No Business Doing Business Today” Jones, George One Woman Man $25 $18 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 $25 $18 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 $40 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, George Cup of Loneliness: The Classic Mercury Years 2cds $40 Includes 20 page booklet. Includes original versions of George’s self penned classic “Window Up Above”, in fact it is surprising how many George has written on this set...28 out 48 songs, many with Derrell Edwards but also with the likes of Lawton Williams & Roger Miller (“Tall Tall Trees”) 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.

21

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” $20 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 $18 rare post O’Kanes pre Kane-Welch album, on the Atlantic label from 1993. 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”. They do great versions of classics such as “Pick Me Up on Your Way DMwn” and “Heartaches by the Number” as well as their great cheating songs “You’d Make an Angel want to Cheat” and their smash “Heaven’s Just a Sin Away”. Logan, Josh Somebody Paints the Wall (Curb) $55 Logan, Josh Something Strange (Bob Grady Records) $45 Logan, Josh Gentle Rain (own label) $35 Logan, Josh Cartersville Kentucky Country Boy (own label) $35 One of the great country singers who is revered by all who have his cds as the embodiment of the soul and spirit of Mel Street, one of the greatest country singers ever and its main proponent of the cheating song. He nails ever song he sings and has garnered a loyal fan base on the strength of just a handful of albums. Sammy Kershaw was at one time going to do a Mel Street tribute cd but I would sincerely doubt it would be as good as these 4. 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. 24 tracks which give a terrific overview. Louvin, Charlie “50 Years of Making Music” Playback label $35 This was a 1991 release which was just superb. It featured great guests. Charlie is joined by Waylon & Willie on “Makin’ Music”, Crystal Gayle on “Just Beyond the Pain”, Waylon and George Jones of “Country Boy’s Dream” BUT unquestionably the highlight is his duet with Willie on “This Darn Pen”, a wonderful song and without doubt this is one of Willie’s greatest ever duets. He is also joined by Tanya Tucker and Melba Montgomery. Don’t miss it!! Lyda, Jacob My Dreams Just Came True $30 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. Lyda, Jacob Here We Go Again $30 1997 Bob Grady label Lyda, Jacob Three Times the Charm $25 Country Discovery Records The thing is Jacob is largely an unknown who should be spoken of in the highest terms and is in the process of releasing a new album but is getting short shafted by the record label. These

22

out of print gems are for those who love the likes of Ricky Van Shelton and Randy Travis. YES, he is that good. McCarters The Gift $30 $25 Wonderful debut inc.great Carl Jackson & Jennifer McCarter track “Letter from Home”. Superb harmony singing especially on the Hugh Moffatt gem, “Loving You”. . McCarter, Jennifer & McCarters Better Be Home Soon $22 $15 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! Also includes a Hugh Moffatt gem in “Mama Rita”...or the “femaled” version “Papa Sita”. McClain, Charly “Charly McClain” (Mercury) $28 1988 release which is very hard to get. This is in fact the last album Charly ever made. The cahrting song was “You Got tHe Job” She has since. dropped out of sight McClain, Charly “Ten Year Anniversary” Epic$28 A collection of her hits include “Who’s Cheatin’ Who” and “Radio Heart” along with favourites such as “Sentimental Old You”. McDaniel, Mel Rockabilly Boy $30 $20 As a 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”!!!! Great story songs such as “Reverend Luther and the Madam” and “The Tractor”. McDaniel, Mel Country Pride $30 $22 Great album on the defunct DPI label from 1991, and I believe the last album of new material for Mel. Great album including Mae Axton’s “If I Live to Be A Hundred I’ll Die Young” and the fabulous “Annual Blount County Snuff Dipper’s Ball” Not a Tom T Hall song but sounds like it could be, doesn’t it. McDaniel, Mel Now You’re Talking $38 $28 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 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 McEntire, Reba “Heart to Heart” $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 and 1981 respectively show what a shame the transition has been. Some of these are on the “Oklahoma Girl” set but honestly all are good, and you know I am hardly what you would call a fan of the current variety. McQuaig, Scott Scott McQuaig $30 $25 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 Dave Loggins “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.Classic Jimmy Bowen produced album. 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 19058 version here & it is a knockout. The other 15 songs were o recent recording. A really top cd. Bill has contributed notes about each song. “Me and My Buddy”....I wrote this after seeing an old wino leaning against a building. Martin, Mario Keep it on the Country Side $40 $30 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.

23

Still as stunning and as perpelexing (in the sense of where is he now??) Favourite track is probably “Another Nail in the Wall”...very reminiscent of Ricky Van Shelton. A stunning album. 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 $28 1996 gem on the Bob Grady label produced by Mike Headrick. A very Haggard/Bakersfield influenced cd. What makes this so great is that it features 9 new Whitey Shafer songs, many co-written with Lonnie Williams who also writes one with Roger Springer. Mata. Billy Made in Texas $35 a real favourite. San Antonio’s top country artist which contains one of the Cosmic Cowboy’s and my favourite tracks the impossibly catchy “If This Was Texas”. This is on the Bill Green label or should I say was as it is impossible to find. He covers a number of styles with great versions of Ian Tyson’s “Navajo Rug” plus one of the last songs that hit for Lefty, “Honky Tonk Stardust Cowboy”. A wonderful album. Mellons, Ken – Sweet $35 Ken Mellons is a classic country singer, highly reminiscent in places of one of the greatest ever in Vern Gosdin. On this album he sings “Paint Me A Birmingham”, which was also covered by Tracy Lawrence, but without the sheer emotion that Ken Mellons brings to his version. Very hard to get. Mensy, Tim “Stone By Stone” $25 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 Two: King of the Road $25. $18 Best single cd of his hits. Long OOP. Great companion to the previous cd. Moffatt, Katy The Greatest Show on Earth $28 $18 This was the original issue but was withdrawn when Ringling Brothers claimed ownership of the title. It is the best folk country album we have ever had; Katy & Tom Russell have never 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. 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 $35 Has 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. Naturally has all his big hits headed by “Candy Kisses”. Morse, Ella Mae Capitol Collectors Series $30 $25 21 tracks with a big band R & B flavour but also country. Best ever “Cow Cow Boogie!! Mowrey, Dude “Honky Tonk” $30 $20 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 $40 Want to know my all time favourite

24

independent, yeah not one of but the top spot?? This is it. Great album produced by Bob Grady with assist from the great Mike Headrick. 12 great tracks with a duet with Bill Arwood on the title track.I think on reflection a 3 way tie with Ron Sweet and Arnold Sanford is in order. Alas both Ron & Arnold have gone and heaven knows where Leo is?? To me the jewel is how easy Leo sings. Marsha Britton contributes harmony vocals. Favourite tracks? Start at the beginning and stop at the end. BUT, if pushed“Mama Did Raise One Fool After All” and “Under Neon Light”, the duet with Bill Arwood are superb. Nelson, Willie Horse Called Music $20 Nelson, Willie Born For Trouble $20 Nelson, Willie The Promiseland $25 Nelson, Willie Who’ll Buy My Memories: The IRS Tapes $30 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’. “The Promiseland” is headed by David Lynn Jones great “Living in the Promiseland” and also sees Willie steer away from his own songs, although he does a brilliant full country version of his “I’m Not Trying to Forget You”. Finally, his acoustic guitar and voice on the IRS tapes, an album everyone should have. O’Kanes O’Kanes $30 Their stunning debut with classics“Oh Darlin’” and the bluegrass like romp “Oh Lonesome You”. Long long deleted. O’Kanes Tired of the Running $25 Second album from Keiran Kane & Jamie O’Hara is also hardest to get. Blind accordionist Jay Spell is superb. O’Kanes Imagine That $15 Third and final cd from 1990. Owens, Buck Hot Dog $25 His first of three Capitol label comeback albums. Includes the title song which he originally recorded under the alias “Corky Jones” and what’s more this sounds even better. He duets with Dwight on “Under Your Spell Again”. A shortish album but a true gem. Owens, Buck Kickin’ In $25 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. Owens, Buck Act Naturally $35 Third and final comeback album and a very impressive one. As many may know the Beatles di “Act Naturally” on their “Help” album and featured Ringo (a fine country singer) on lead. Well Buck joins Ringo for a duet version. Even better is “Crying Time”, done as a duet with Emmylou. It also showed Buck could still write a mean song. Oxford, David David Oxford $70 $50 There has only been one and there appears to be little chance of another, but despite hope being minimal there is still some hope. This is superb with a mix of honky tonk, cryin’ in beer ballads and just plain great songs “”1-800 Wine” is pure honky tonk whilst the Cosmic Cowboy, a sentimental old fluff if ever there was one, closes his annual community radio father’s day show with Oxford’s “Don’t Tell the Babies”. As far as production goes this is stunning. The great Bobby Flores is present throughout. And Michael Morales who apparently performed strictly in a Spanish market is great on acoustic guitar. David had talks with major labels apparently but was disillusioned when he was told he didn’t have the right image. Damn, why didn’t he get angry and produce a box set. Even that would not be enough. A gem gem gem!! Oxford, Vernon Let Me Sing You a Song: The 1960s RCA Recordings $50 Westside UK out of print gem with a whopping 28 tracks. These are on Bear AFmily box but that may be a bit too much for some. This is just about perfect. 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

25

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 $35 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. Parton,Dolly & Porter Wagoner Two of a Kind $28 Pair label 20 RCA tracks, sticking mainly to the lesser known material, which is of course pretty grand. Paycheck, Johnny “The Real Mr Heartache: The Little Darlin’ Years” CMF $55 The fact is that Johnny Paycheck not only preceded George Jones as the best hard country singer he also provided the main influence for George. He was promoted as an outlaw singer in the seventies but those recordings do not compare with this 24 tracker which is simply perfection. “Apartment Number Nine” was written by Johnny as was the amazing “Pardon Me I’ve Got Something to Kill” and the ultra dramatic “It’s a Mighty Thin Line Between Love & Hate”. A stunning cd. Every track a slighltly warped winner. Paycheck, Johnny Survivor $30 His last hurrah, out of print . the highlight “I Can’t Quit Drinking”. Paycheck, Johnny The Difference in Me $30 Playback This 1993 indie is a real gem with Paycheck reprising his “The Old Violin” and covering some classic country. Highlights are “The Waltz of the Angels” and “My Name’s Not on the Sidewalk”. This is a return to the hard country singing at which he had few if any peers. Pennington,R/Buddy Emmons Swinging by Request $35 $28 Going Out Swingin’ $35 $28 Swing & Other Things: We’re Steel Swingin’ $38 Swinging from the 40s Thru the 80s $40 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 Buddy Emmons 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. Like the 2nd and 4th cd this was originally a double lp, which featured some classic country and some jazz along with a handful of new Pennington songs. 21 in all. Spectacular version of “Take the A Train”. The final cd has 22 tracks with a lot of Bob Wills oriented material plus a few new songs to boot. Perkins, Carl & Scotty Moore “A Sentimental Journey: 706 Reunion” $25 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. Planet Rockers Hillbilly Beat $20 featuring the great Sonny George. Despite being labelled a rockabilly album it still contains enough of Sonny’s great hillbilly baritone. Price, Ray Heart of Country Music $50 Now Ray’s albums on Step One were all special. Some were double records. I have it on good authority this 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 backings by the excellent Step One team are uniformly excellent and largely unplugged. 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.

26

Price, Ray “ Happens to the Best” $25 Nice collection of Columbia tracks featuring 70s versions of his hits, preferred by many to the originals. Prosser, James “Life Goes On” $45 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. Reeves, Del Silver Anniversary Album $25. 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. Reynolds, Lawrence "He Comes from Alabama" $28 Fabulous 16 tracker, produced by Mike Headrick and one of the all time favourites among Yesterday and Today Records regulars. "Haggard & Jones", "Them Old Hank Williams Songs" and "There Ain't Enough Whiskey are just as good as it gets. Lawrence is in the George Jones/ Norman Wade vein and has tragically passed on. How long this will be available again is not known, but do yourself a favour Rich, Charlie Pictures & Paintings $28 $18 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 with 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. . Robertson, Kathy At the Cantina $38 $28 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 $30 inc. Bonnie Owens, Chris Gaffney, Rosie Flores etc. 15 tracks tribute to Roy Nichols, long time guitar player with Merle Haggard Robertson, Kathy Hillbilly Down: To Roy Nichols With Love 2 $40 (Includes Haggard!, Rick Shea, Katy Moffatt). Second volume, highlighted by a rare appearance by merle Haggard himself. Rogers, Roy Tribute $25 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 Shelton. This is the original deluxe package. Ryle, Curt Life Time Guarantee $35 What can you saybut 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!! Ryle, Curt Your Old Used to Be $35 2001 gem now no longer available and right up there with the previous album...both in superb honky tonk material (and dress “non”sense). Curt wrote all songs except for a version of Haggard’s “The Emptiest Arms in the World”. Great songs such as “Bottom of the Fifth” “I Wish Your Memory Would Die” and “Son of a Honky Tonk woman” are all major label quality. Sahm, Doug SDQ 98 $45 A blink & you will miss it gem as the record company went out of business shortly after release. It is right up there with his “Return of Wayne

27

Douglas” cd and he keeps it pretty much country all the way. Great version Tom Russell’s “St Olav’s Gate”& “Ballad of Davy Crockett” Includes his great colleague Augie Meyers. A lot has an almost unplugged feel. Simple worked best for the great man, 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 $60 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 $25 Schneider, John “Too Good to Stop Now” $30 Schneider, John “Tryin’ to Outrun the Wind” $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. The 4th has one of his best ballads in “Leavin’s Been Comin’ for a Long Long time, as well as the fun track with a rather ambiguous title “I Don’t Feel Much Like a Cowboy Tonight”. Scott, Jack Capitol Collectors Series $35 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 $30 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 $30 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” plus the wonderful “Hill Country Love Song”, as tender as it gets. Also done by Benny Berry, 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!! He begins with a great shuffle version of Willie’s “I Just Destroyed the World” and then follows with a big Curt Ryle ballad “History Repeats Itself”. Originally from Texas...this is just how it should be.

28

Simpson, Red “Best of Red Simpson:Country Western Truck Drivin’ Singer” Razor & Tie $30 20 tracks with great wit and style...as all truckin’ albums should be. A major influence for Junior Brown. Includes all his big hits such as “Highway Patrol” (one of Junior’s best as well) , “Nitro Express” and “I’m a Truck”, the very clever song which has the truck telling the story. Simpson, Red “The Man Behind the Badge/ Roll Truck Roll” $35 EMI UK 2 on 1 with 2 albums from 1966. “Motivatin’ Man” was actually picked up and recorded by John Laws but don’t hold that against Red. 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. Of course she helped put the name Kristofferson on the map with her version of “Help MeMake It Through the Night”. 16 tracks...don’t miss it. 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 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!! . Sun, Joe - Heartbreak Saloon $30 Sun, Joe – Hank Bogart Still Lives $30 Sun, Joe – Out on the Road $30 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 title 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. Mind you “wasn’t Born in Tennessee” is darn catchy too... Thompson, Hank “Six Pack to Go/ Breakin’ In Another Heart” EMI UK $25 2 of Hank’s Capitol albums on 1 cd. The first is full on honky tonk with a firm leaning toward the drinking aspect of that genre whilst the latter sees Hank covering some standards as only he can do. Thompson, J W Songs for Real People $45 We speak of the truly great independents. This is decidedly one 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 kept 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 $35 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. Also includes wonderful version of “Jealous Heart” plus a couple of great Max D Barnes songs.

29

Thornton, Marsha Maybe the Moon Will Shine. Second of only 2 is equally good. Gets away from Patsy influence. She even wrote a couple on this one. $22 Hard to believe these date from 1990 and 1991. Tubb, Ernest Live 1965 $20 OOP on Rhino this like George 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 $35 King label anthology 1949-1953. On the now defunct Westside label. 24 tracks. Wade, Norman “For a Minute There” $30 Norm’s (actually I think he would only ever be Norman...) 1997 gem which includes his wonderful “I’ve Got Hank to Thank” and “Sarah’s Eyes”...mind you every song is great especially his own “Crying at 3am”. Wagoner, Porter Greatest Hits $30 20 tracker with great andunusual selection including of course “Rubber Room” 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 & he does the song that was even featured by Ian McNamara, “I Feel Like Hank Williams Tonight”. 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 $25 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 $20 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 $30 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 Cowboy Nation $28 But he’d be wrong as this is his best with the wonderful “My Favourite Lies” almost being his best song...even though he does his own version of “I Feel Like Hank Williams Tonight” on this. 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 the fabulous “Ship Me Back to Texas” Watson, Dale From the Start $40 14 tracker on the Country News label. His pre Hightone label material. Rare. Includes early versions of several gems including “Cheatin’ Heart Attack”. Watson, Gene Back in the Fire $45 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”, BUT I will say this emphatically there is not one Gene Watson album which should not be in every collection and furthermore on the top shelf of that collection. Watson, Gene The Good Old days $30 $22 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 $22 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”.

30

Watson, Gene In Other Words $40. 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 $22 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 $25 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. Wells, Kitty Duets $28 16 tracks on Pair label with Red Foley, Webb Pierce, Roy Drusky, Roy Acuff, Johnny Wright etc. Vale the Queen of country Music. Whitley, Keith I Wonder Do You Think of Me $35.$25 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 $20 15 tracks not on his other albums. Augmented with some historical and rare clips. Whitley, Keith Tribute $20 A gem put out by his label 5 or so years after he so tragically died. BUT for the Whitley fans it is not just other artists interpreting Whitley (all quite superbly I may add, especially Alan Jackson, 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 $20 Wild Rose Straight & narrow $20 Wild Rose Breaking New Ground $20 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. 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

Rig Rock Deluxe A Musical Salute to the American Truck Driver $30 $25 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 $25Westside label...out of print. 24 tracks

Meet the Pearls Series Juke Box Pearls $32 The new series which features girl singers. This first volume is a compilation with the likes of Jean Shepard, Jean Chapel, Bonnie Lou, Nita Rita & Ruby (Anita Carter), Loretea Lynn, Rose Maddox plus unknowns such as SCArol Jarvis & Roberta Shorewood. It concentrates on the uptempo side of things and like all Bear Family series are more tha n worthwhile. This has 25 trcaksand runs an hour. Myrna Lorrie “Hello Baby” $32 What makes Bear Family so great is they focus on artists many of us may not have heard of and Myrna is certainly one of those. She was a Canadian who basically stayed in Canada where she was a star both of the recording and television variety. This includes 3 duets with Buddy Deval. RCA in the USA wanted here when they had Elvis. 22 tracks. Laura Lee Perkins “Don’t Wait Up” $32 Billed as the female Jerry Lee Lewis, she was from the coal mining country of Weste Virginia.

Inclues 25 trcaks and over and hour. Street Corner Symphonies Series: The Complete Story of Doo Wop

32

Volume One 1939-1949 $32 30 tracks 87 minutes!! No doubting the value Bear Family gives to consumers. Doo wop was a form of Maerican music and this is actually a pre- doo wop “doo wop” set. I always loved the Ink Spots, with their fabulous bass vocalist often to the fore and with seemingly the same riff starting every song. Similarly the Mills Brothers (originally including their father as well) changed the style of group harmony singing. This volume is principally black artists and if you want to do research you will find these are the most collectable records anywahere with 45s even changing hands for thousands of dollars. The Robins evolved into the Coasters. Volume Two 1950 $32 30 tracks 83 minutes. Includes The Orioles, The Ravens, more of the Mills Brothers, The Del Rhythm Boys, The Four Aces, Five Larks and many more. Volume Three 1951 32 tracks and 89 minutes. The names are starting to become more familiar. The Swallow, the Cardinals, The Dominoes, The Five keys, The Falcons, The Royals, The Drifters, the Clovers etc. Volume Four 1952 31 tracks 85 minutes The Clovers, The Royals, Diamonds, Five Sharps *this track “Stormy Weather” is considered to be the rarest single ever! A copy has been listed at $45,000. * The Orioles, Du-droppers etc. Volume Five 1953 32 tracks 87 minutes Checakers, Moonglows, Clyde McPhatter a& Drifters, Billy Ward & the Dominoes, The Velvets, The Platters etc. As always these have comprehensive notes. Plug It In! Turn It Up! Electric Blues: The Definitive Collection. The most comprehensive ever set of electrified blues on 4 volumes each of 3 cds, compiled by blues expert Bii Dahl and each with 160 page (approx)booklet. The volumes when joined together form a composite picture on the spine. $80 per volume is not cheap but hell, it is Bear Family!! Nobody does it better. Volume One The Beginnings 1939-1954 77 tracks 217 minutes running time. Features T Bone Walker ( several tracks but what is better than his original “Stormy Monday” here given its original verbose title “They Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday’s Just as Bad)”, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, a truly amazing artist, Arthur Big Boy Cruddup (original version of “That’s All Right Mama”), John Lee Hooker (original “Boogie Chillen”, a song which has a riff that appeared in many 60s rock songs), Elmore James, Little Walter, Memphis Minnie, Muddy Waters, Wynonie Harris. Volume Two 1954-1967 79 tracks 221 minutes Howlin’ Wolf (possibly the greatest blues vocalist ever...better make that probably), Chuck Berry (great raunch!), Bo Diddley (did someone mention a riff...”I’m a

33

Man”), more elmore James, T-Bone Walker, plus Lightnin’ Slim, Slim Harpo, Magic Sam, Brownie McGhee, Lazy Lester etc. This is just the tip!! Volume Three 1960-1969 70 tracks 220 minutes Featuring many of the blues revival acts such as Canned Heat, John Hammond, Paul Butterfield, plus classics such as Albert King’s “Born Under a Bad Sign”, Etta James, Koko Taylor, more BB, Wolf, Bo, Elmore etc Volume Four 1970 -2005 65 tracks and 263 min minutes!!

Texas trio, High Noon was one of the most dynamic rockabilly acts and who better to pack one of the greatest in Ronnie Dawson. Not at Carnegie but part of the tour. Country Music People have given this a five star rating in their August edition with the comment this was as good as any live rockabilly ever recorded!!! Dick Damron “Lost in the Music: The Recordings of Dick Damron 1978-1989” 3 cds 70 tracks 194 minutes. 48 page booklet $80 Producer Joe Bob BArnhil lsaid “not as hard driving as Waylon or as laid back as Don Williams” but certainly somewhere in between. Dick is perhaps Canada’s best loved country artists with a tradition bsed firmly on the American side of things. His forte was honky tonk but also love songs were part of his repertoire. Sometimes referred to as Canada’s Willie Nelson....whay I am not quite sure...maybe longevity and overall excellence. Big Bad John rates this the best set he has acquired all year!! Johnny Cash “Unseen Cash: From William Speer’s Studio” This is an lp ...a 180 gram single sided lp with an etching of Johnny Cash on the Reverse side.

Great Bakersfield artist and songwriter known for his trucking songs and a major influence on the likes of Dwight Yoakam and Junior Brown, who often reminds a lot of Red. Red was perhaps the best proponent of the honky tonk song out of all the Bakersfield artists, as exemplified in his classic song, “Close Up the Honky tonks”. **Big Bopper “Hello Baby” the Complete recordings $32. Graet humour and darn good songs. 31 tracks . **Friedman, Kinky “They Ain’t Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore” $32 Has two Kinky albums on cd for the first time “Kinky Friedman” and “Lasso from El Paso” ...the latter featuring the voice of Ringo Starr playing the part of God...just a stretch you may say but pretty funny! **Hamilton, George IV “To You & Yours” $32 Great album featuring tracks from both ABC and RCA.

From the “Gonan Shake This Shack Tonight” series. **Ray, Wade “Idaho Red” $32 Original RCA recordings from a man who performed staright country and some western swing. Part of the Gonan Shake This Shack tonight” series. **Scott, Jack “Rocks” $32 one of best in this series. ** Johnny Tillotson “The Outtakes” 2cds $58 superb sound Wooley, Sheb “White Lightnin’; “ $32 Pre People eater collection of his uptempo country tracks. **Various “Shit Happens” ...the difference between tragedy and comedy is whether the excrement happens to you ore somebody else”!! $32 It is a mix of being in the wrong place at the right time and every thingh that can go wrong does go wrong.

Not available till mid September but if you are interested please let me know now as Haggard is so popular. I will have it the instant it is released. This is his complete MCA recordings, virtually all out of print. Check our rarities section!! I love this period ,slightly moreintrospective and personal than his Capitol Recordings. Includes some previously unissued notes, though the publicity does contain an error as the track “Bull & the Beaver’ with Leona Williams has been on cd before and in fact I have a copy in my list of Haggard cds herein...but don’t let that worry you!

Bailes Brothers “Remember Me : King Records 1946” $32 Bailes Brothers “Standing Somewhere in the Shadows: King Records 1953 plus” $32 Two from the formative period of the very popular family group, including many rarities...well guess the whole thing is a rarity! Johnny Horton “I’m a Fishing Man DVD” $35 There are 25 filmed performances and three bonus audio performances spanning the years from 1953 until 1960. He not only sings his biggest hits, 'North To Alaska', 'Johnny Reb', 'Sal's Got A Sugar Lip', 'Sink The Bismarck' and of course 'The Battle Of New Orleans', but he also performs songs that won't be as familiar to collectors, like 'Electrified Donkey', 'Be Honest With Me' (as part of a trio with Eddy Arnold and Molly Bee), and 'I'm A Fishing Man'. Even though there are no published interviews with Johnny Horton, on this DVD he talks with the hosts of the Ozark Jubilee show Red Foley, Bobby Lord, and Eddy Arnold.

Includes one cd of duets including the classics with Jerry Lee Lewis. Oxford, Vernon Keeper of the Flame 5 cd + book $120 When country was country....Vernon was “too country for country”.

37

for Rounders”, one of the greatest ever country albums by anyone & the first ever stereo country album.

A great singer and writer’s only album. He walked into the record company office and talked himself into a contract.Like Dean Dillon somewhat vocally and does a stunning version of Dillon’s “You Sure Got This Ol’ Redneck Feelin’ Blue”.

**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. Caught in the Webb A Tribute to Webb Pierce $20 One of ithe best if not the best ever country tribute albums. Great line up and they stick faithfully to the traditions of the songs. Emmylou is superb as alway on “Wondering” and it makes you wish she hadn’t strayed when you hear Alison Moorer doing “Back Street Affair”. Dwight, Willie, Jones, Dale Watson, Charley Pride...all hear. 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 l 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. Good Rockin’ Tonight: The legacy of Sun records (Sire) $18 Great line up including McCartney, Plant & Page, Carl Perkins, Dylan, Clapton, Petty, Elton etc. Hank: the Lost Notebooks (Sony) $15 Lost songs set to music for first time with Dylan, Alan Jackson, Norah Jones etc Happy Birthday Buck A Texas Salute $20 22 tracks including a couple of Buck’s final recordings . Includes David Ball, Rodney Crowell, Derailers, Rick Trevino etc 22 tracks 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. I Dreamed I Was Elvis $15 Buffalo Bop 32 tracks of a rare nature of those trying to adapt the Presley sound. Jukebox Cowboy $18 UK compilation of 23 tracks from a variety of sources. Includes indie artists Roy Heinrich, Kathy Roberston, etc Lighter Side of Blue $20 Columbia Legacy 2cd 48 tracks of early country artists 1926-1938...best of white artists singing country blues Old Faithful: Songs from the Saddle $15 (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.

82

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. 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, Barfrom Marvin Rainwaqyrebara Keith, with the much covered “Bramble & the Rose”, Paul Siebel, Rusty Young (with Clarence White), Ian Matthews, Red Rhodes, Country Gazette etc. Singing with Emmylou Vol 1 $15 Singing With Emmylou Vol 2 $15 Two great volumes on Raven with 20 tracks on each that feature the greatest female duet artist ever. Lots of rarities. Stunning. Songs of John D Loudermilk Canetoad $18 whopping 31 tracker with everyone fro Marvin Rainwater to Roy Acuff Jnr singing the great songs of John D Loudermilk. 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. 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 III Essentially it is all 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. All are good and this includes Dale Watson!!, Wylie & Wild West Show, Patty Booker, Rick Shea, Ronnie Mack plus a bunch of “who the hell are theys” who are pretty darn good such as Steve Kolander, Calvin Davidson, Ruby Trees etc. 16 tks 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.

83

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

Looks great. Little House on the Prairie project *Vol 1 Arkansas Traveller $15 *Vol 2 Pa’s Fiddle:Charles Ingalls American fiddler. $15 Sometimes I amaze myself as to how clever I am. Sure enough it happened again. Firstly the tv show “Little House on the Prairie” was based on a real life family, though the real life Charles Ingalls looked nothing like Michael Landon. As such the original books had tunes listed tha tIngalls’ played on his fiddle. As such they were from a bluegrass/ old timey point of view fundamental in providing the basics on which the whole genre developed. So these two are essentillly old time fiddle and guitar reels, with Bryan Sutton, Pat Flynn on guitar and Matt Combs on fiddle. The first has guest vocals whilst the second is all instrumental. Vocalists include Ranger doug Greene, Elizabeth cook, John Cowan....but if you want to summarise bluegrass...from whence it came. Now for the cleverness.....Volume 2 is instrumental and I was playing it...on came “When Johnny Comes Marching Home.....and wait for it...it is the same tune as “Madamoiselle from Armentieres”. Hallelujah...what a revelation. Great cds.

Garth Brooks “The Limited Series” (Capitol) This iis Garth’s first six albums each with a bonus track. This is the only place you will get those tracks and it is long out of print. Subsequent issues did not have the bonus tracks $50 Garth Brooks “The Limited Series 2” The albums Seven, Scarecrow, Double Live (2cds)/ the Lost Sessions/ DVD both sets have large books. $38 Johnny Cash Collector’s Crate package $35 Not really a box but a nice item, albeit one I was only able to get two copies. It consists of 16 Biggest Hits cd plus a t-shirt with a vintage Cash image...size XL...plus a colelctor’s crate which is a cd size “milkcrate” style with Cash emblazoned across the front. The perfect pace to put your Cash cds. The cd is one most would have BUT the accoutrements are stunning. Johnny Cash “Portrait” 4cds 104 tracks in book style box UK Version $45. Honest John who gave us that magnificent list at the beginning reckons this is the best box set he has ever purchased. He had never heard Cash do “Forever Young” , a Bob Dylan Track and yes HJ I agree with you. Includes nice book written by Patrick Carr.

Merle Haggard “Down Every Road 1962 -1994” 4cds + 76 page book plus 104 tracks which span all the labels he has recorded for The book is something else with lots of colour photo. Takes its title from the opening line of “Lonesome Fugitive”. One of the best box sets ever $60 George Jones “The Hits Then Till Now’ Time Life $20 What a steal. Book style box with career spanning 60 tracks, including a good selection of duets. Did I say steal...a bargain of highest order!! Willie Nelson “The Complete Atlantic Sessions” Rhino. Willie only actually released 2 albums on Atlantic but those 2 are credited with elevating him in status throughout the music industry. He certainly has never done better than these albums. I personally rate “Phases & Stages” his best. It is the second of the two albums for Atlantic and tells of the breakup of a relationship from a woman’s perspective (side on of the lp) and from a man’s perspective (side 2). I wouldn’t say “Red Headed Stranger” was an overrated album but it is not as good as “Phases or Stages” nor the other album he did for Atlantic, “Shotgun Willie”. “Shotgun Willie” had some wonderful tracks. His “Sad Songs & Waltzes” is as good as it gets and Willie’s own version contrasts wonderfully with the version we know by Keith Whitley. Those two gems of albums both have a stack of bonus cuts whilst a third cds features “Live at the Texas Opry House’. That one has one of the most manic tracks you will ever hear...a medley of “Bloody Mary Morning/ Take Me Back to Tulsa”. Willie plays the wildest guitar solo you would ever hear and off the cuff the brilliant fiddler Johnny Gimble segues into “Take Me Back to Tulsa”. Superb. The box features nice mini lp style covers and a 48 page book. They are housed in a wonderful leather look box with a silver embossed Willie in the middle. To add that extra bit of class the box has a magnetic seal. $40 Buck Owens “The Warner Brothers Recordings” Rhino Handmade 2cds $45 This is an expensive one on this specialised boutique label which manufactures a limited edition.

Quite a few duets $45...thankfully cover features the distinctive looking Kenny not current one! Stanley Brothers “The Definitive Collection 1947-1966” Time Life. Superb presentation with 60 tracks and 40 page book in attractive book style packaging. Not a mistake...this is a giveaway $20 Townes Van Zandt “Texas Troubadour” $35 Charly UK.

Bob Wills And His Texas Playboys “Legends of country Music” Sony Legacy $50 105 tracks on 4 cds. Foremost Wills authority Rich Kienzle, one of the better country music writers contributes the notes as well as compiling the sets. It is the best single Wills set as it includes post CBS hits such as “Faded Love” and concludes with some of the final session from 1973. As always any Wills cd which Kienzle has his name on will include “Drop Us Off at Bob’s Place” one of the most ebullient tracks you wil lever hear. Bob Wills “King Of Western Swing: Complete Published Sides 1935-1940” JSP UK 100 tracks $20 ....a steal!!! Various From Sea to Shining Sea $20 4cds Readers Digest set with categories: God Bless America/ The American Spirit/ Great songs of Pride & Patriotism/ Rocky Mountain High/ Our Great Land in Story & Song/ Country-folk Favourites/ Highways & Home/ God’s Country (gospel) 74 tracks Richer Tradition: Country Blues & String Band Music 1923-1942 JSP Uk 4 cd box $28 Rarest of the rare...amazing how many have what appears to be somewhat racist connotations in the title. Train Songs: 200 Great Songs about Railroad Heroes, Hobos and Freight Trains $45 10 cds in small size flip box.

90

different arrangemsnts of classic country songs such as “Bye Bye Love” and “I Can’t stop Loving You”. Best for mine is the superb string laden version of “You Don’t Know Me”, a classic Eddy Arnold track revamped superbly. This is extremely hard to get now and to be honest is just fabulous. Patsy Cline “Patsy Cline Collection” 4cds + 64 page book. All in the 12 inch lbox. An absolutely essential box brought out by MCA and the Country Music Foundation. Someone once said if you lined up ever female singer Patsy would be singing lead and the rest could consider themselves lucky to be singing in the chorus...yep...could be right. $40 One of the best box sets ever. The sound is superb. Patsy Cline “The Ultimate Collection” $20 3cds This is an Australian only compilation which surprises on 2 counts: the sound is superb and the song selection is also superb. 50 tracks. Good deal. John Denver “The Country Roads Collection” RCA 79 tracks over 4 cds and 24 page book. Always liked the guy even when he was John Deutschendorff, when he changed his name when he became a member of the Chad Mitchell Trio, a Kingston Trio styled protest group. He never had to worry about paying the rent again after Peter Paul & Mary recorded his wonderful “Leaving on a Jet Plane”. His nice guy image was not an act. Very underappreciated artist. $55 OOP Vince Gill “These Days” Ultra Special $28 4cds plus book. This is his 2006 box with 4 cds each with a separate theme on each.

Attractive long style box. Paul Kelly “The A to Z” 8cds $60 Live Recordings in which Paul manages his way through 105 songs...in alphabetical order starting with “Adelaide” and ending with “Zoe”. Ledoux, Chris “American Cowboy” This is a great set which pays heed to his pre Capitol tracks on his own label. He truly is the king of the rodeo singers, This has 54 tracks over 3 cds and includes a 40 page book which tells how he rose to prominence with a mention in a Garth Brooks’ song (“a worn out tape of Chris Ledoux”). All of a sudden he was famous. An excellent singer and writer. $45 Chronologicallly arranged.
