Marti, which you must pronounce Mar-tee…two distinct syllables…take a small break between them. Marti for the uninitiated is a Texas singer who treads a brilliant line between country and rockabilly music. She doesn’t write much but she has exceptional taste and her covers are not the overly familiar type. They are sound remarkably fresh. The opener, Wynona Carr’s “Finders Keepers” is an absolute cracker. A classic toe tapper. She does a great cover of Nat Stuckey’s “Sweet Thang” with Bill Kirchen on a duet basis. Terri Joyce, who had a top 10 album with us last year contributes the great “Something Blue” ,a track that sounds like a standard, it is that good. Marti is a superior vocalist and her version is a cracker. Arty Hill ,who is a great honky tonker (shamefully & ridiculously some of his albums are in our $10 bin) contributes “Mascara Tears”, a number replete with a great fiddle and piano solo reminds of that other underecorded great, Mandy Barnett, maybe it this similar Patsy Cline emphasis she places on certain words. The title track is from Sean Mencher of the group High Noon. Nice production by Peter Bonta, assumably a relative of T Jarrod Bonta, that great piano pounder who is a member of Cornell Hurd’s great band. 15 tracks and another outstanding album from Marti, well in line for a place in the albums of the year list, which will appear in the first newsletter in 2011.
Joey & Rory “Album #2” $30 Husband (Rory) and wife (Joey) team were great on their first album. But this is even better. On the first album Rory was content to do harmony vocals but on this he does a couple of duets as well as a solo number and the great news is he has a fabulous voice. The opener “Album # 2” serves as both an introduction as well as a witty number about what might happen if they do not succeed. They have no worries. It is a great opener, a shuffle with a real humorous touch. Joey Martin & Rory Feek have a unique blend. Although Rory has a career as a songwriter it is the ability to write songs which fit their combo so rightly that make it so special on this. “Born to Be your Woman” is a classic duet. Why didn’t he solo on the first? You can’t help like the guy. Carl Jackson produces superbly, with a hint of bluegrass on the wonderfully witty “Baby I’ll Come Back to You”. “God Help My Man” is another stunning number in which Joey summarises what she will do to her man if his delay in returning home is a result of him fooling around. This is real Loretta Lynn stuff…”I hope he’s got a real good lawyer cause he’s gonna need one, you know my daddy’s the judge in this town.” “Farm to Fame” is all bout the farm boy who is lucky to get a deal in Nashville, but alas “rags to riches to rags again”. Joey’s voice is amazing. She has a slightly nasal tone which is not meant to be a putdown in any way, shape or form. She sings with such a sincerity and clarity that you hang on every word. Rory’s solo spot “My Ol’ Man” is brilliant. He seemingly had a lack of confidence singing solo, and given Joey is so brilliant that is understandable but he has no worries. Mainly piano accompaniment this is a great great performance. The rural theme gives the album a n authentic flavour. The final “This Song’s For You” is produced by Keith Steagall and features the Zac Brown album. Hard to find a seconds fault in the entire album; I don’t think there is one. A must have. Who said country music is dead?? Not me, this is as good as it can get.
DVDTruCountry Season 1 3 dVDS$48 The dvd that came out on the Heart of Texas label featured great performances but was hampered by very poor production. This on the other hand has superb production….as good as Austin City Limits and that is saying something. Both visually & aurally this is a1!! Firstly this was a cable tv show which was produced by Heather Myles. This has all 12 episodes of season one (with better news even that season 2 is due anytime). Here’s a quick summary as to who is featured in each episode. I don’t have to say they are Y & T royalty! Episode 1 Jake Hooker/ Heather Myles/ James Hand Episode 2 Bode Barker/ Darrell McCall/ Mona McCall Episode 3 Bobby Flores/ Miss Leslie Episode 4 Amber Digby/ Justin Trevino (duet & solo) Episode 5 Dallas Wayne/ Heather Myles (even a duet) Episode 6 Jake Hooker/ Jimm Loessberg/ Leona Williams Episode 7 James Hand/ Bode Barker/ Miss Leslie/ Bobby Flores Episode 8 Darrell McCall/ Mona McCall/ Heather Myles Episode 9 Jake Hooker/ Amber Digby (inc. duet) Episode10 Bobby Flores/ James Hand Episode11 Heather Myles/ Justin Trevino (inc. duet) Episode12 Miss Leslie/ Leona Williams
Shawn Camp – “1994” $25 Shawn Camp is one of the most talented guys in country music. He has it all; great voice, songwriting skill, multi instrumentalist/ highly personable/ good looking….but he never became a big star as he apparently didn’t want to play the touring game. But, he didn’t really need to as that bloke called Garth Brooks hit #1 with Shawn’s “Two Pina Coladas”. His own material has been more traditional and this album was one that WB chose not to release but advance to the present and new Warner Brothers President John Esposito going over some old tapes is totally knocked out and insists on an immediate release of this gem. What, a Nashville CEO with musical taste…it couldn’t be true. “Near Mrs” is about about a relationship that almost made it. “Stop Look & Listen (Cow Catcher Blues)” is a great romp. Great musicians include Richard Bennett, James Burton and producer Emory Gordy. Patty Loveless is a guest vocalist. But I’ll leave the best to last, and it is the last track…”The Grandpa That I Know”. This is about a funeral, and it is brilliant. It evokes comparisons of “Jim, I Wore a Tie today” (to me anyway) but this time it is about the man in the coffin…actually the lyrics say “This ain’t the grandpa that I know”…the one he knew wore overalls, not a pin stripe suit. It has previously been recorded by the excellent Tim Mensy, Shawn’s collaborator, but Shawn’s version is even better with simple instrumentation and a real lump in his throat voice. May be the best track I’ve heard all year. If you scoured all of Nashville you would not find one person who would have anything but the greatest praise for Shawn Camp, both as a person & performer.
Peter Cooper – “The Lloyd Green Album” $30 Firstly this is Peter Cooper’s second solo album and it is right up there with his first which was right up in our album of the year list 2 years ago. Secondly this is unusual in that a lot of the instrumentation is just acoustic guitar and Lloyd Green’s steel guitar. To use the word living legend is probably not giving Lloyd the respect he deserves. The album reminds me a lot of Mike Nesmith’s album “And the Hits Just Keep on Coming”, in which the only instrumentation was Mike on acoustic and Red Rhodes on steel guitar. There are snippets of other instrumentation but they are subdued. “The Last Laugh” is a song Cooper co-wrote with Todd Snider and Lloyd’s stunning final steel passage leads into the story song “Elmer the Dancer”. “What Dub Does” is probably my favourite with a jaunty steel opening leading into the true story of Dub Cornett, a guy who is the friend of all in Nashville…he’s sitting at all good tables and his name’s in the magazines. Only trouble is no one can quite figure out “what Dub does”. Cooper also interprets Kristofferson’s “Here Comes That Rainbow Again” and “John Hiatt’s “Train to Birmingham” which closes the album with some stunning steel and electric piano (Jen Gunderman) interplay. It is just an entrancing album as was his first. Fayssoux Starling & Rodney Crowell guest on backing vocals.
Erin Hay “Blue Country Song” $28 Has long been a favourite but hasn’t risen to the heights we hoped she should have; she is great. This is her first in a while and it seems the reason is that she and her husband, the wonderfully named Perley Curtis, have had time off to have a baby. Perley is also excellent on steel guitar and dobro. Erin’s new album has 12 songs and 4 are written for this album with the rest being covers. I would rate only one, a “why Worry” and that is “Harper Valley PTA” but Erin’s version is great, but the song is so closely associated with Jeannie C Riley. The only mistake on the album. I was going to also include “Between an Old Memory & Me”, a gem when covered by Keih Whitley but wait…the arrangement of this is great. Slowed right down and with a simple backing it is like a new song. The other song choices are superb. “Country Music’s King” is a great shuffle with some nice fiddle by Jim Unger, who rather sadly appears to have recently passed on. “Long Days” , written by her manager Lonnie Radcliff, has some great lines about “long days turning into such short years”. A great traditional style vocalist, this is bound to please all the fans she has gained but I still can’t work out her overall relative anonymity in the world of country music. She is just so darn good.
Chris Hillman & Herb Pederson “At Edwards Barn” $30 A live album in which Chris & Herb go back and talk about their careers as well as performing songs that have been associated with the many and varying groups they have been in. Chris of course was a founding member of both the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers whilst Herb was a member of the Dillards, as well as being an in demand session man. They eventually joined together in the Desert Rose Band, which took its name from Chris Hillman’s great Sugar Hill label album (see our $10 bin…a steal), on which Herb played. There are new songs as well which fit in with the Bakersfield sound to which they now lean. Of course songs as Hillman & Gram Parsons’ co-writes “Wheels” and even more so “Sin City” are part of musical history. The anecdotes are great and the performances sublime. All unplugged with the principles on mandolin & guitar, and banjo & guitar respectively.
Lonnie Spiker “Coming to a Honky Tonk Near You” $30 Lonnie’s last album was called “Unapologetically Honky Tonk” and for some lucky soul there is a solitary copy in our sale list below. But this is even better as Lonnie has recorded it for our favourite Heart of Texas label with production by Justin Trevino, who with Amber Digby contributes backing vocals. Both of these greats also do stunning duets with Lonnie; Justin on the opening “Eyes as Big As Dallas’ and Amber on “A Hundred Years from Now”, a great cheating ballad, maybe the best on the album. Damn! It is good. In fact Lonnie wrote 10 of the 13 songs on the album and they are all grand. As always the Heart of Texas crew is great with Reggie Rueffer on fiddle showing there must be one on every corner in Texas! The great Dicky Overbey alternates on steel with Jim Loeessberg. Whether it be a shuffle such as “Soft Place to Fall” or a weeper such as “What’s He Got That I Ain’t Got” it is all class. “Bubbling Under” is a classic drinking song. This album has it all.
Wayne Walker “How Do You Think I Feel” $32 European release on the El Toro label which is the first cd for Wayne Walker one of Nashville’s most successful songwriters. A whopping 33 tracks, 18 if you count the 2 duets with Jimmy Lee are Wayne Walker’s own recordings whilst 15 are other artists doing Wayne Walker songs. His own recordings range from rockabilly (“Bo Bo Ska Diddle Daddle” was on several CBS rockabilly compilations) to country (“What Kind of a God do You Think You Are”. Of the Walker songs we get such things as “Holiday for Love” (Webb Pierce), “Rock the Bop” (Brenda Lee), “I’ve Got a New Heartache” (Ray Price), “Rosalie (Is Gonna get Married)” (Faron Young) and so on
Roy Acuff “The End of the World” $28 Goldie Hill “Don’t Send Me No More Roses” $28 Joe & Rose Lee Maphis “Cold Heart of Steel” $28 Carl Smith “Happy Birthday My Darling” $30 Four UK releases which for the first time cover the Hickory releases of Acuff and Carl Smith along with the Decca releases of Goldie Hill and Columbia releases of Joe & Rose Lee. The albums are let down a bit by lack of notes but sound good and the content is all first time on cd. Goldie, the second Mrs Carl Smith (after June Carter) has been an artist I’ve been asked for for years. Included are a couple of duets with Justin Tubb; if only someone would release his RCA albums! The 16 songs on her album show her to be a fine traditional vocalist. There are 20 songs on the Acuff album including several Hank Williams covers. The Maphis album has 10 duets plus 5 Joe guitar instrumentals and a real up tempo number from Rose. The 22 tracks on the Carl Smith are superb with great range of styles. It didn’t chart but his version of “Drinking Champagne” may be the best of the lot. Great stuff.
Ken Mellons – “Rural Route” $30New bluegrass album which features duets with both Vince Gill and the stunningly gorgeous Sonya Isaacs.
Conway Twitty – “Next in Line/ Darling, You Know I Wouldn’t Lie” $30 Conway Twitty – “I Love You More Today/To See My Angel Cry/That’s When She Started to Stop Loving you” $30 Conway’s Decca albums have had a song here and a song there on compilations but this is the first time they have been issued in their entirety to my knowledge. The first two are from 1968 and the other two are from 1969 & 1970. Conway’s albums were mainly written by others and as at the time there were quite a few covers, Conway puts his own slant on things such as “DI-V-O-R-C-E”, “mama’s Hungry Eyes” and even “Proud Mary” but was always able to tweak them enough to make them his . “Darling, You Know I Wouldn’t Lie” may be a half head in front as the best of these 4 albums and that edge is given by 2 Conway songs, “Bad Man” & “Bad Girl”. “Next in Line”, the song, gave Conway his first #1 country single whilst the title song “Darling You Know I Wouldn’t Lie” was his second. These give a great indicator of the early part of Conway’s massive country career in which he is rated one of the 10 all time great charting artists.

Bear Family News
Hank Williams Complete Mothers Best Recordings $280 This is one of the most unusual packages we have ever seen and as such is quite stunning. It all comes housed inside an old style wooden shelf radio and lo & behold if you turn the on dial you get an old time radio show with samplings of Hank. It is heavy and an odd shape so will be well protected for shipment. Includes 15 cds + dvd as well as an 108 page book and an exclusive from Bear Family an lp size jigsaw.

A great series.
Allerton & Alton Black, White & Bluegrass $32 It was almost unheard of at the time, let alone in a genre so right wing as country music. The Cumberland Ridge Runners were perhaps country Music’s first interracial duet.
Ella Mae Morse “Rocks” $35 Great series and with a massive number of tracks. Ella Mae covered R& B/ Rock & roll/ and country with equal aplomb, often backed by big band such as that of Freddie Slack. She also teamed up with the likes of Tennessee Ernie Ford. 34 tracks and 84 minutes.

Rarities These are some of the best albums over the years and they are all out of print. All are in new/as new condition. Don’t miss out, as most 1 copy only. These take great skill in acquiring, believe me.
Anderson, Bill Greatest Hits (Varese) $40 This is out of print and stands as the best cd by Bill with the classics “Mama Sang a Song” & “Golden Guitar” hard to get. Atkins, Chet/Jerry Reed Sneakin’ Around $30 Great album that followed on Chet’s equally great effort with Mark Knopfler & earlier albums with Les Paul & Merle Travis. Lots of good time humour and some great guitar. Ball, David David Ball $30 This was going to precede “Thinkin’ Problem” and in their wisdom RCA didn’t release it. A pity as it is very good with originals & covers. A must for David Ball fans, and isn’t that just about everyone?? Bandy, Moe Many Mansions $35 (very rare MCA album) Bellamy Brothers Rebels Without a Clue $30 There MCA album from 1988 was their best with the title track, “Fountain of Middle Age”, “The Courthouse” & “Andy Griffith Show” being just some of the classics. Bogguss, Suzy/Chet Atkins Simpatico XXXXSpecial priceXXXXX $20 One of Chet’s last albums and one of Suzy’s best, if not the best. A must have. Boone, Larry One Way to Go $20 XXXXXXSpecial priceXXXX Great ballads on this. Boone, Larry Swingin’ Doors, Sawdust Floors $30 Boone, Larry Down That River Road $35 All 3 are as good as it gets. A great songwriter & singer he reminds of George Strait in the late 80s! Superb, Mrs Johnson. The first listed was his first CBS album & may be the best value in the entire newsletter Britton, Marsha Good Times & Hard Times $30 Great Album on Hawk label “We’ve Had Some Good Times” is a duet with Benny Berry. Browne, Jann Tell Me Why $35 1990 gem long OOP As well as being a cracker singer she is a great writer with the highlight being “Louisville”. Emmylou guests. Browne, Jann It Only Hurts When I Laugh. $25 Great west coast singer reminiscent of Emmylou. Cartwright, Lionel Lionel Cartwright $30 Was nominated as one of 1989’s 3 best new artists along w. Clint Black and Garth Brooks. He loses absolutely nothing in comparison. Cash, Tommy Let An Old Racehorse Run $28 12 track indie on Playback inc duet with Jeannie C Riley Cash, Tommy Classics $25 15 tracks on his own label has Johnny cash on 4 tracks plus Connie Smith, Tom T Hall, George Jones etc. Cash, Tommy 50th Anniversary Album $30. This is The gem which features George Jones, Johnny Cash, Connie Smith & Tom T Hall. Coe, David Allan 1990 Songs for Sale. $40 20 new original recordings (not re-recordings of hits) was first on the DAC label. All great Coe songs such as “A Marriage Made in Heaven Went to Hell”, “The Devil was to Blame”, “Tennessee Waltz With Me” etc Cryner, Bobbie Bobbie Cryner $35 I 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. Conlee, John 20 Greatest Hits (MCA) $30 Conlee, John Fellow Travellers (16th Avenue) $35 Conlee, John Harmony (Columbia) $40 Classic country vocalist & very popular. The first is all his great MCA hits such as “Busted” & the incredibly warped “I Don’t Remember Loving You” which the great Harlan Howard cited as one of the very favourites he had written (and there were indeed a few). The second was on a label that went bankrupt and 3rd an impossible to find gem on Columbia, with the highlight being “Class reunion”. Dalton, Lacy J Crazy Love $30 Stunning album which features a great version of Van Morrison title but the highlight is “Little Boy Blue” one of the best things you’ll ever hear. Dalton, Lacy J Survivor $45 an amazing album; easily her best & that is 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. Davies, Gail Pretty
Words $25 The ubiquitous Jimmy Davis, Joey “Love Songs, Waltz’s True Stories & Lies” The spelling may be a bit out but 17 superb honky tonk tracks are as good as it can go. Everybody loves this. $40 Delray, Martin Get Rhythm $45 This is absolutely one of the best albums we have ever had and whilst the title track featured 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 XXXXSALEXXXX $25 Second of only 2 albums. Dillon, Dean I’ve Learned to Live $48 second of his Capitol albums. Impossible to find. Inc. his version of the song he wrote with Vern Gosdin, “Back in the Swing of Things” as well as “Changes Going On” which hit for Alabama. Still more, a great duet with Tanya Tucker. Terrific album. Draper, Rusty Greatest Hits $28 Out of Print 18 tracker. Dunn, Holly Across the Rio Grande $38 Dunn, Holly Holly Dunn $38 Dunn, Holly Cornerstone $40 Holly Dunn’s first 3 albums on the MTM label were definitely her best with the self titled one containing her biggest hit in “Daddy’s Hands”, the second “Cornerstone’ maybe her best with 2 stunning tracks in “Strangers again” & a delightful version of Jim Croce’s “Lovers’ Cross’ whilst the final MTM album had her delightful version of the title song, also done by Reba, but Holly wins!! All 3 albums are delightful. Earle, Steve Uncut Gems $40 20 tracker put out by his Publishing company. Some have never appeared on his albums and in different versions when they did. Earle, Steve The Hard Way $28 and still in the Long box. Includes “Billy Austin” a wonderful tale of a condemned man. Ford. Tennessee Ernie Capitol Collectors Series $35 This 29 tracker is out of print and contains the best single collection of Ernie’s hits & more. This is the best ever US series. Ford. Tennessee Ernie/Glen Campbell Erie Sings & Glen Picks $28 Just Campbell on acoustic (+ occasional vocal) & Ern on vocal. A favourite! $30 Freberg, Stan Capitol Collectors Series XXXXXSpecial priceXXXXX $20 21 tracks. Again, the sound and presentation is stunning. Collects the best of Stan’s musical parody tracks plus his “Green Christmas” tracks. 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”. Frickie, Janie Saddle the Wind $30 Ironically her best two albums were ones in which she changed the spelling of her true name “Fricke” to reflect the pronunciation. This even starts with a stunning swing number in “Sugar Moon”. Gosdin, Vern Alone $30 Came after his best “Chiselled in Stone” and was 100% cry in your beer ballads; as good as any George Jones album, ever! Gosdin, Vern The Voice $30 1998 classic which proved Vern had not as yet reached the other side of the hill! Now out of print. Grand, Gil Famous Last Words Never actually released. $25 has partial graphics & have just acquired the only one I have ever had with full graphics $40 Greene, Jack The Jolly Green Giant $38 20 MCA & Decca tracks long deleted. Only time the originals have been on cd. Inc. 3 duets with Jeannie Seely. Haggard, Merle Capitol Collectors Series $25 20 tracks. The best single cd of Merle at his best. Haggard, Merle 5:01 Blues Epic Out of print $35 Haggard, Merle Back to the Barrooms/ The Way That I Am (MCA) 2 on 1 $48. The second cd is out of print and to have it with the classic “Back to the Barrooms” is a plus. Haggard, Merle Chill Factor $25 Original album Haggard, Merle It’s All in the Game $35 Epic Out of print. Haggard, Merle His Greatest And Best $25 MCA collection which is very well compiled. Hardwick, Billy Too Country $25 A great singer and writer’s only album. Like Dean Dillon. A+ Harms, Joni Hometown Girl $35 Joni’s original Capitol album. Very hard to get. Harris, Emmylou Last Date $35 On defunct Eminent label & has 2 bonus tracks. This also has attractive slip sleeve. No slip sleeve $28 Hobbs, Becky All Keyed Up XXXSpecial price $20 Best ever female honky tonk album, with the best track being “Jones on the Jukebox”. Homer & Jethro America’s Song Butchers: The Weird World of Homer & Jethro. $35 Great humour and equally fine musicianship. Apparently they were originally billed by their real names till some guy forgot who they were & on the spur of a moment said…”Here are Homer & Jethro” and it stuck. 20 track on Razor & Tie. OOP Honeys Capitol Collectors Series $40 Not a country one but a classic of female pop mixed with surf elements as Marilyn Rovell married Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. 20 great tracks. Very influential. Horton, Steven Wayne Steven Wayne Horton Capitol album from 1989 was sadly his one & only. What you get is a great upbeat album a la Marty Stuart “Hillbilly Rock” but better. $28 House, James Hard Times for an Honest Man $40 His second MCA album was even better than his first self titled album & is very very hard to get. Husky, Ferlin Capitol Collectors Series $38 This is a wonderful cd. The entire Capitol Collectors Series is a must and though repeating myself represents an artist’s best output. 20 tracks Jenkins The Jenkins $35 Record companies are in general a brainless bunch as proved by the fact this album didn’t get a release. It is a gem and featured a mother & two daughters. Sound is superb with a reminder of the Judds & McCarters. Johnson, Johnnie & Kentucky Headhunters That’ll Work $30 This was just a one off unfortunately as Chuck Berry’s piano player worked very well with the Kentucky Headhunters, who had an amazing rhythm section, which is why they could fit inside the country genre. Jones, George Friends in High Places $30 All duets Jones, George Wine Colored Roses $48 1986 album is very very hard to find on cd. Jones, George Alone Again/Grand Tour $40 2 on 1. “Alone Again” is only available here & is rated one of his very best albums. Jones, George One Woman Man $35 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! Jones, George You Oughta Be Here With Me $38 This was the last album he did for Epic & it may be his best. Superb songs & he is in absolutely wonderful voice. Jones, Geo./Melba Montgomery Vintage Collection $55 20 classics!! Out of print and has all the wonderful United Artists’ label duets.His best duet partner. Jones, George Sings the Hits of His Country Cousins. OOP Razor & Tie issue of 1962 album and a wonderful selection of songs including a great cover of “Little Bitty Tear” $28 Jones, George Sings Bob Wills $28 OOP Razor & Tie Jones, George Live at Dancetown USA $50 Amazing album superbly recorded which was on Ace UK label but has been deleted 10 years or so, 26 tracks and over an an hour running time and in great stereo sound. Like the Ernest Tubb below (also from 1965!) this is amazing and George runs through things he has written (“Window Up Above”/ “Ragged But Right”/ “Accidentally on Purpose”) as well as songs by Dickey Lee (“She Thinks I Still Care”) Harlan Howard, Melba Montgomery etc. Although not a regular “Jones boy” Buddy Emmons joins the band for this set. Also Don Adams (not Max Smart!) acts as the leader of the Jones’ Boys & duets with George on Melba Montgomery’s “We Must Have Been Out Of Our Mind” as well as a couple of his own leads. Just remembered the classic Jones’ line “We’re gonna take a short liquor- mission I mean intermission”!! Jones, George The Rock: Stone Cold Country 2001 Radio Special $35 Jones, George Cup Of Loneliness: The Classic Mercury Years 2cd 51 tracks 24 page book. This came out both as a jewel case & a book style, the latter is what we have as new. His classic earlier Pappy Daily produced tracks are unavailable elsewhere. Kane, Keiran Find My Way Home XXXON SALEXXX $22 Rare post O’Kanes album. Kemp, Wayne One Song at a Time $30 One of the best honky tonk writers is a shamefully under-recorded singer as well. 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”. Lind, Bob Best of Bob Lind $35 25 tracker Inc. #1 hit “Elusive Butterfly”. Logan, Josh Somebody Paints the Wall $55 sung in the style, sound & spirit of Mel Street. Louvin, Charlie And That’s the Gospel $30 Like his other Playback album this features duets & is long OOP. Guests include John Conlee, Tammy Wynette, Little Jimmy etc Lyda, Jacob Three Times the Charm $30 Great indie album with the great indie producer Mike Headrick in tow. McCall, Darrell Pictures Can’t Talk Back $35 his debut cd on the Atrap label from 1992. McCarters The Gift $35 Impossible to get debut. McCarters Better Be Home Soon XXXXON SALEXXXX $20. Hard to believe they only ever had 2 albums. This billed as “Jennifer MCarter & the McCarters” features a stunning take on the Crowded House song. Has slight bluegrass leanings & great songs. McDaniel, Mel Rockabilly Boy $35 There is no better song than “You Can’t Play the Blues in An Air conditioned Room”!!!! McDaniel, Mel Stand Up $30 Very hard to get on cd McEntire, Reba Oklahoma Girl 2cds 40 Mercury tracks. Double cd case with attractive slip sleeve & book $30 (on sale****) Her best & most country. Have one without slip case $22 McQuaig, Scott Scott McQuaig $35 This album is deserving of a special award and that is “Best Album by an Artist Who only Ever Had One Album”. Haven’t given up hope of a second but won’t hold my breath. And whilst Scott wrote 5 songs on this album, all of which are great his version of “My Friend the Bottle” is as good as that other ode to the inanimate object, Johnny Bush’s version of “Bottle Bottle”. Certainly vintage George Strait fans will (pardon the pun), lap this up. McRight, Alecia For Love’s Sake $25 rare independent album from the wonderful Alecia Nugent. Not sure if “Nugent” is married/single/ married again or divorced name but this is a great album prod. by Carl Jackson/ Martin, Sonny I’ve Always Been Country $38 Great indie with the saddest song ever on it. “Rock A Bye Baby” makes Little Jimmy Dickens’ “Raggedy Ann” seem jolly! Miller, Roger Best of Volume One: Country Tunesmith $48 This gem focusses on Roger’s own versions of songs that were hits for others. As such the 20 tracks are ultra rare & essential. They include “Tall Tall Trees”, “Don’t We All Have the Right”, “Husbands & Wives”, “Half a Mind” etc. Miller, Roger Best Of Volume Two: King of the Road $30. Best single cd of his hits. Long OOP Moffatt, Katy Greatest Show on Earth $20 *** on sale**** Taken of the market as Ringling Bros objected to the title. Superb album & purists will need this version. It was later reissued as “Evangeline Hotel”. Montgomery, Melba/ Norma Jean First Ladies of country 22 tracks $28 Only place you’ll get Melba doing “No Charge”. Moore, Lattie I’m Not Broke But Badly Bent: Best of King-Starday recordings 1953-63 $40 29 great tracks on defunct Westside label Morgan, George Room Full of Roses: the George Morgan Collection Razor & Tie OOP $35 Has a rare duet with Lorrie. Morse, Ella Mae Capitol Collectors Series XXSALEXX $25 Mixed her styles from big band to country Nelson, Willie A Horse Called Music $35 Nelson, Willie Promiseland $35 Nelson, Willie Peace in the Valley: The Gospel Truth Collection with Willie Nelson Jnr. They used a little poetic licence with the artists as Willie Nelson Jnr was known as Billy Nelson all his life, up until it tragically ended on Christmas day 1991. So this album had special meaning for Willie as it seems this was the only time Willie Jnr/Billy had recorded. The results are stunning. Billy/Willie Jnr generally trades parts of the songs with Wilie and has a distinctive voice that is instantly memorable. He does the sole vocal on "My Body's Just a Suitcase for Your Soul" and it indeed may be the best track on an album where nothing is less than grand. Willie solos on "Troublemaker" and it is a different and far better version than on his album of the same name. being a big Willie fan I must rate this as his best gospel album an indeed one of the best in general. $40 Newton, Wayne Coming Home $25 No I haven’t gone nuts as this is a 1989 country album which is really good and features a great duet with Tammy Wynette. All good. O’Kanes O’Kanes $40 O’kanes Tired of the Running $35 O’kanes Imagine That XXXON SALEXXX $20 Superb duo of Jamie O’Hara & Keiran Kane. Wonderful songs with a touch of bluegrass. The debut self titled is almost impossible to get. Owens, Buck Hot Dog $30 Owens, Buck Kickin’ In $30 Owens, Buck Act Naturally $40 His 3 comeback albums the latter is very hard to get as it features the likes of Emmylou, & Ringo (who did vocal on the Beatles’ version of ‘Act Naturally’ & duets here) Pacheco, Tom Bare Bones & Barbed Wires 2cds $40 Everybody’s favourite songwriter, that nobody’s ever heard of!!! Great unplugged album Parton/Wagoner Two of A Kind $28 20 tracks Parton/Wagoner Sweet Harmony $30 another 20 tracks Both on the excellent Pair label. Paycheck, Johnny Survivor $30 His last hurrah, out of print w. the highlight “I Can’t Quit Drinking”. Also issued as “I’m a Survivor” ($25) Paycheck, Johnny The Difference in Me $38 Rare 1993 album on the Playback label with classic takes on “The waltz of the Angels” & “My Name’s Not on the Sidewalk” in in particular. Pennington,R/Buddy Emmons Swinging by Request $35 Ray Pennington was honcho of Step One Records, a Nashville independent label which had a wonderful roster. He was also a fine Ray price inspired vocalist & as many steel players would say 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. Peters, Gretchen Buried Treasures 14 great songwriting demos which place her in the same league as the likes of Iris Dement and Emmylou Harris. Like Steve Earle’s “Uncut Gems” this was put out as a demo disc but is as fine a female country/ folk album as we have ever had. $55 It is exceedingly rare & then some. Simply put you will not find a copy except here. Price, Ray Sometimes a Rose $25 great 90s album which contains one of our favourite tracks in “Not a Dry Eye in the House.” Price, Ray Happens To Be the Best $30 16 tracks of CBS material issued on Pair label. As such a mix of rare and well known tracks. Raye, Susan 16 Greatest Hits $30. Out of print on the Varese label. Rhodes, Kimmie West Texas Heaven XXXspecial PriceXXX $20 In the top 2-3 female folk-country albums ever & has duets with Willie, Waylon & Townes Van Zandt. A steal. Rich, Charlie Pictures & paintings $38 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! Ritter, Tex Capitol Collectors Series $35 25 tracks in this great series. Has all you need if you only want one disk! Blood on the Saddle/ Deck of Cards/ Hillbilly Heaven/ Just Beyond the Moon. Briliant selections Rogers, Roy On Track Radio Special $30 Radio special based on Roy’s final album “Tribute” Schneider, John Too Good to Stop Now/Tryin’ to Outrun The Wind 2 on 1 $38 Schneider, John You Ain’t Seen the Last of Me $22 Great singer. 2on1 features albums from 1984 & 1985 whilst the latter is probably his last album from 1987. Scott, Jack Capitol Collectors series $35. 23 Capitol tracks including the hit “What in the World’s Come Over You” Also has 4 previously unissued tracks. All great! Seals, Dan Rage On $25 His 1988 Capitol album with the classic title and the great “Five Generations of Rock County Wilsons”. Sears, Dawn What a Woman Wants to Hear $20 WB 1990 album Great traditional feel. Seekers Capitol Collectors Series $25 It is this great series again & it is hard to believe that as quintessentially Australian they are the best ever compilation is clearly this both in terms of selection & sound. Shafer, Sanger D “Whitey” I Never Go Around Mirrors $35 10 tracker by the writer of many of Lefty Frizzell hits who also sounds a lot like Lefty. Shaver, Billy Joe Salt of the Earth $30 Shepard, Jean Honky Tonk Heroine Classic Capitol Recordings 1952-1964 24 track out of print gem on CMF label $38 Shepard, Jean Signature Series $22 14 Capitol tracks. Smith, Russell This Little Town $35 Great solo album Amazing Rhythm Aces vocalist. Smith, Sammi Best $30 Another must have out of print cds Springfield, Bobby Lee All Fired Up $35 Great honky tonk with rockabilly feel. Includes the original “Hank Drank”. See Scott McQuaig. This would be a top 5 in that list. Starr, Lucille The French Song $30 Expanded 17 tracker, now out of print. Stewart, Wynn California Country- Best of the Challenge Masters. $30 29 great tracks from one of the west coast’s absolute best. OOP Thompson, Hank Capitol Collectors Series $25 20 great Capitol tks including “Blackboard of My Heart”, which rarely pops up. Thompson, Hank Dance Ranch/Songs for Rounders $55 The first is a great album, but the second is simply one of the greatest in country music history. It is the first stereo country album and the first themed country album. Up until that time most albums were based around a couple of hits with a lot of filler. It is otherwise only available on the $400+ Bear Family box set. Thompson, Jeff Jeff Thompson $40 No, not 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 $28 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. This is a corner missing on the booklet. Thornton, Marsha Maybe the Moon Will Shine. Second of only 2 is equally good. Gets away from Patsy influence. XXXSALEXXXX $20 Tubb, Ernest Live 1965 $28 OOP on Rhino this like George Jones’ Dancetown showed 1965 as a vintage year for live recording even though both were not issued at the time. His band included both Jack Greene & Cal Smith. Wade, Norman For A Minute There $40 Think Vernon Oxford meets George Jones with a bit of Hank Thrown in. This one was his second & last cd on the Bob Grady label and what can I say is stunning. We sold them by the bucket & every one loved them. His “new’ album which was due out “next month” (about 10 years ago) is still coming!! Hopefully. Wade, Norman Old Time Country Music $30 his equally fine 2002 album. Wagoner, Porter Greatest Hits $28 Great compilation on Pair label (all original RCA recordings) Top selection includes “Rubber Room”. Watson, Gene Back in the Fire $48 Great singer as he is & no correspondence will be entered into on that fact, this is his best album, a Warners album from 1989 with the best version ever of “Dreams of a Dreamer”, which was also done by Darrell McCall so there is plenty competition plus Gene’s best ever ballad “The Great Divide” Watson, Gene The Good Old days $30 Step One with a superb selection excellently produced by Ray Pennington who also contributed 4 Songs. Watson, Gene Jesus Is All I Need $30 Great 1997 gospel album on the defunct Step One. Wells, Kitty Duets $30 16 tracks on Pair records with Red Foley/Webb Pierce/ Roy Drusky etc West, Speedy/Jimmy Bryant For the Last time $25 (Step One label) Whitley, Keith I Wonder Do You Think of Me $35. The album he had just finished when he died. One of the greatest ever country vocalists. Deep rich voice with his own nuances. Pity the wonderful honky tonk songs were lived out so tragically with his alcohol overdose. Whitley, Keith Kentucky Bluebird $35 15 tracks not on his other albums. Augmented with some historical and rare clips. Wild Rose Listen to your Heart $28 Wild Rose Breaking New Ground $28 two great albums by talented all gal group led by Pam Gadd & Wanda Vick Williams, Hank Rare Demos First to Last $25 CMF Williams, Hank The Health & Happiness Shows 2cds $35 Only place to get these. Williams, Hank Live at the Grand Ol Opry 2cd book cover $28 Young, Faron Live Fast Love Hard: Original Capitol Classics 1952-1962 $28 CMF label Various Beverly Hillbillies Cast Album $30 Songs by Buddy Ebsen, Max Baer Jnr Donna Douglas, Irene Ryan and feat. Flatt & Scruggs. Beverly Hillbillies Soundtrack Classic country songs presented by likes of Ricky VanShelton, Doug Supernaw, Lorrie Morgan, Joe Diffie etc. Tops $22 Mamas Hungry Eyes Tribute to Merle Haggard with John Anderson, Alan Jackson, Clint Black, Vince Gill, Lorroe Morgan etc $25 Red Hot & Country An Aids benefit project with gem after gem, though easy to pick the best as a wonderful mix of Carl Perkins, Duane Eddy & the Mavericks on “Matchbox”. Johnny Cash does a superb take on the Bob Dylan song “Forever Young” and Mark Chesnutt is superb on the Haggard (via Tommy Collins) gem “Goodbye Comes Hard to Me” 17 great tracks.

Bear Family’s second Eddy Arnold box covers the years 1951-1955. $140
**Bear Family 35th Anniversary box set. $90 has 3 cds plus a 200 page 12x12” hardcover book which gives a history of the label and has photos of all the releases. Experts rate the best Bear Family releases The 3 cd set has al lnew songs by various artists with a common theme of “bears”. If you have ever bought a Bear Family cd and thought “how good is this”, then this is a must have item for you. Very heavy 3 kgs. Incidentally the text is often quite witty…hard to believe it comes from Germany!! For example the section where people reveal their favourite Bear release is called “The House is Burning”…in other words if it were burning, what would you grab first.
**Carter Family 1927-34 5cds JSP $22
**Carter, Wilf Cowboy songs 8 cd (over 200 songs) + 40 page book .$140 From his beginnings through to 1940. Highly sought Montana Slim at his best!!
**Driftwood, Jimmie “Americana” Bear Family 3 cd 82 tracks 24 page book.
**Dusty, Slim - The Man who Is Australia 5cd $50 OOP…now let me see which self proclaimed guru is actually said to have given Slim the s***s. Very hard to get now.
**Eagles – CD box $55 The complete Asylum recordings with reproduction of the original covers. 7 albums including the 2cd “Live” plus bonus “Please Come home for Christmas” Nice one!!
**Felts, Narvel: Limited Club Edition Vol. One $20 2cds 44 tracks.
**From the Vaults of Decca: Country Classics 1934-1973 60 tracks, many rare, such as the first trucking song…Cliff Bruner’s “Truck Driver’s Blues” with Moon Mullican on vocals as well as tracks by Cousin Emmy, Jan Howard, Claude Gray etc. Has promo sticker on box $38
**Harris, Emmylou - Portraits 3cds WB OOP 61 tracks plus book including several unreleased tracks. And blow me down if it isn’t pre “Wrecking Ball”!! ….the most overrated album ever. Critics just don’t know. They have serious mental problems and hence tend to rate things they don’t understand more highly than they should, for fear of being uncool….how else could you describe the fact that Emmylou’s angelic voice doesn’t need a bunch of grunge guitars or a pretentious producer such as Daniel Lanois. Please! $48
**Hotter in Hawaii 4cds 105 tracks inc. all the greats Sol Hoopi, Roy Smeck and a bunch of Pahinuis…well there probably are 1 or 2 $35 On JSP UK.
**Jim & Jesse The Old Dominion Masters $60 12”x12” box 101 tracks on Pinecastle label including full size 16 page book.
**Jim & Jesse Bluegrass & More Bear Family 5cds 140tks + 32 page book $100

**Jones, George “Good Year for the Roses Musicor Years Pt II” 4Cds + book $130 ($20 off) New sealed.
**Judds The Judds Collection Sealed in denim book style box. I think there is 50 tracks if my counting correct. 3cds $35

**Monroe, Bill “Essential 1945-49” 2cds 40 tracks. 36 pg book. Includes his first recordings with Flatt & Scruggs.
**Nelson, Rick Legacy 4 cds OOP Capitol $60 100 tracks. Label spanning box set; and he did some great country stuff. Though it should in essence be credited to “Ricky” not “Rick” as near the end of his career he began referring to himself as “Ricky’ after finally meeting his hero Carl Perkins who called him “Ricky”. And again from a purely blokey point of view, he’d have to be the best looking male vocalist of all time.
**Next Stop Is Vietnam The war on Record 1961-2008 13 cds + 300 page hardcover book. $350 ($40 off) Covers many genres, not just country even though the biggest representation is country. The introduction is written by Country Joe McDonald, a person who I was singularly unimpressed with when I met him. BUT regardless the set is a stunner.
**Buck, Owens “Collection” 3cds 62 tracks plus great book. Have as new unsealed $45 or sealed $55

**Rodgers, Jimmie: The Singing Brakeman Bear Family 6cds plus 60 page book jammed with previously unseen photographs. His complete recordings and in Bear Family quality$140
**Rogers, Kenny A Retrospective Through the Years 4 cds 80 track $45 You reckon Paul Hogan’s eyes look unnatural after the plastic surgery “he never had”!! Kenny looks like some form of lizard. I thought (in a purely blokey way) that he always looked great and would have aged accordingly. But fear not the real Kenny is on the cover. Includes his great Kenny Rogers & First Edition hits.
**Songs of the West sealed 4cd box on Rhino. Long out of print. Has great book. $70 Each cd has a specific theme: a)Cowboy Classics b)Silver Screen Cowboys, but not from the movies as it includes Slim Pickins’ fabulous take on Guy Clark’s “Desperados Waiting fot the Train”. I love Slim’s voice and the way he refers to people as “Hoss” Also on this “Last of the Silver Screen Cowboys” by Rex Allen Jnr w. help from RexSnr and Roy Rogers. c)Gene Autry & Roy Rogers d) Movie and Television themes
**Strait, George “Strait Out of the Box” 4cds 72 tracks including more than a few unissued. Great 72 page book. $45 Fabulous.

**Williams, Hank Jnr – “Living Proof: The MGM recordings 1963-1975” 3 cds 24 pg book. $55 This is all out of print. 82 tracks in all. Great selection, & very traditional including some classics from “Luke the Drifter Jnr”, esp the narration “I Was With Red Foley”.

Darn good. $30 **Brown, Milton “Daddy of Western Swing” (106/32) Was tragically killed in a car accident. Almost his entire output. A must $30 **Crosby, Bing It’s easy to Remember $20 (99/36) **Doughboys, Playboys & Cowboys (99/44) Western swing compilation with only a handful of Bob Wills but so many great artists it isn’t funny! $30 **Frizzell, Lefty “Give Me More More More” (86/48) $30 Great intro to the father of modern style country vocalising. **Good News: 100 Gospel Greats (100/48) Black gospel including the wondrous Mahalia Jackson & Sister Roesetta Tharpe. $25 **Haley, Bill From Western Swing to R-O-C-K (94/48) Believe it or not he was a superb yodeller taught by Kenny Roberts.

Rhino deletions Rhino is perhaps the best reissue company in the USA. They have recently deleted a bunch of stuff across the board. These are some we have been able to get. The above Dwight is also on that list. Not all are country so look carefully and make sure you don’t miss out. THESE ARE ALL SEALED & AGAIN NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
**Doors Box set $55 4cds 3 live plus one of band favourites. 1 copy.

*********Harris, Emmylou “Songbird: Rare Tracks & Forgotten Gems” $70 4cds + dvd 78 tracks plus 10 on the DVD. This is as an attractive package as I have ever seen, With a denim box comes 2 books one with the cds and dvds and the other a glorious book about the wonderful lady. Even if you think you have all the Emmylou you want and even if you think “Wrecking Ball” is good (minimalist coverage here) you will need to get the 6 unissued duets with George Jones. Previously of course their only recorded duet was on Marty Stuart’s “The Pilgrim” well low and behold that has been expanded 6 times. One of these is the great Townes’ track “Snowing on Raton”. ************* Only 3 available.
**Jones, Rickie Lee “Duchess of Coolsville” An Anthology 3cds $28 Over 3 hours with unreleased studio & live tracks included.
**Love “Love Story 1966-1972” 2cds $25 44 tracks including their masterpiece “Forever Changes” in its entirety.
**Parsons, Gram “Anthology” 2cds 46 tracks + great book. Includes all of the periods in Parsons’ career: International Submarine Band/ Byrds/ Flying Burrito Brothers plus the delightful solo years including the great country duets with Emmylou Harris/
**Pastorious, Jaco “Punk Jazz; The Jaco Pastorius Anthology” $25 28 (many long/longish) Recognised as the most inventive and original jazz & rock bass guitarist of his generation (before being tragically murdered) **Zevon, Warren “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead Anthology” 2cds 44 tracks + book, with notes by Zevon himself. 4 previously unissued. $28
**Ronstadt, Linda Linda Ronstadt box set $60 Imaginative name 86 tracks. Only 1 copy. Very interesting is the 4th cd called “rarities”.
BOOKS (Hard cover unless noted) “Buck Owens The Biography” by Eileen Sisk $30 A warts and all account of the life of the man from Bakersfield…and it is mostly warts. Buck was in many ways the epitome of everything bad about a boss (as he was to the Buckaroos)…exploitive, manipulative, vindictive…you name the “ive” and you can guarantee he was it. Also has a great focus on his music and successes.
“Country Music Goes to War” edited by Charles Wolfe Interesting that Australian Andrew Smith is part responsible for the opening chapter on the American Civil war; music that originated during the time as well as discussions of modern interpretations such as “White Mansions”. There is a chapter by Wolfe himself about “War Songs in Early Country Music” and also one about Gene Autry in World War II. Of course we also get a cold war perspective from a country music point of view. It even continues to the Gulf War & 9/11,. Anything associated with the late Wolfe is worthy. $20
“Country Music Humorists & Comedians” Loyal Jones 430 pages covering rarely written about artists such as Chris Bouchilon, “the talking blues man” and Don Bowman. Gives alphabetical entries including such illuminaries as George D Hay, lulubelle & Scotty, J D Mainer and so on. It is so much more tham what the title would suggest. $30
“Discovering Country Music” by Don Cusic. Terrible cover which indicates this as some kind of glossy fan thing but it really is a good overview.He doesn’t linger on one subject and ther are some excellent pieces: Songs of the Working Man/Religion & Country Music/Country Music & Patriotism. Even extends to the downloading age and its potential effect on music in general. $15
“Finding Her Voice: The Saga of Women in Country Music” by Robert K Oermann & Mary Bufwack Certainly one of the best ever book son country music. Incredible depth and coverage at a tad under 600 pages. As an example it traces the last days of Charlene Arthur, a lady who should have been a big star, as well as the likes of Kitty Wells and Jean Shepard. Truly grand $35
“Forever Changes: Arthur Lee and the Book of Love” $22 334 pages, like the Dylan book doesn’t quite show how comprehensive this book is. Arthur Lee was leader of the group “Love” who made the album “Forever Changes” considered at least one of the top 10 rock albums of all time. It is a sift rock masterpiece indeed and this book gives a superb coverage of not only that but all other recordings by Lee and his life.
“Good Natured Riot: Birth of the Gran Ol’ Opry” $28 Great research and easy to read. Fascinating chapter on Deford Bailey the black harmonica player and the prejudices and difficulties he faced.
“Hank Williams: Snapshots from the Lost Highway” by Colin Escott & Kira Florita. 10 ½ inches square cover is ideal for the previously unseen photos and other memorabilia much of which materialised after a meeting between Marty Stuart and Irene Williams Smith, Hank’s sister who made available many of the treasures that are presented herein. $28
“Jimmie Rodgers” by Nolan Porterfield soft cover 460 pages. The definitive work. $15
“Joni Mitchell: Will You Take Me As I Am: Her Blue Period” Michelle Mercer Mitchell’s “Blue” is often considered the greatest female folk album of all time, though I would argue “Ladies of the Canyon” is at least as good.236 pages $20 In effect a great biography with an emphasis on the music.
“King Records of Cincinatti” Randy McNutt 126 page softback. Lots of pictures. Amazing label that mixed white & black music together. Got their start on hillbilly yet got their success with the Godfather of soul. aka James Brown, whose “Please Please Please” is the greatest live performance ever, in which he works to the point of exhaustion. His valet comes in, drapes a cape over his shoulders and leads him off the stage. But he won’t go…he fights off the valet and on a down beat the cape gets slammed to the floor….he stumbles back to the mike and he starts again. Amazing. This book is 50% hillbilly at least. $10
“Looking Back to See: A Country Music Memoir” by Maxine Brown $28 Great anecdotes of what it was like when The Browns were the biggest thing in country music, and music in general with “The Three Bells” being a US pop #1 for a month.
“Lovesick Blues: The Life of Hank Williams” by Paul Hemphill $10 Another respected work
“Nashville Chrome: A Novel” Rick Bass has done something similar to what Chet Flippo did in his “Your Cheatin’ Heart” book on Hank Williams in telling the story of the Browns as a narrative capturing the facts inside the novel, but sometimes what seems fact is actually fiction. Makes an interesting read. $15
“Ring of Fire: The Johnny Cash Reader” Michael Streissguth editor Collection of writings about Johnny Cash from over the years. Pieces from likes of Patrick Carr, Nick Tosches, Alanna Nash, Ralph J Gleason etc 300 pg $18
“River of No Return: Tennessee Ernie Ford” by Jeffrey Buckner Ford $28 Great book which pulls no punches. Despite his jovial personae Ern had many demons and despite being written by his son they are not glossed over, nor is it a bitter “Mommy Dearest” kind of book.
“Satisfied Mind: The Country Music Life of Porter Wagoner” by Steve Eng $30 Long out of print 450 + page epic about the man affectionately known as..come to think of it I better not put that in…it is a family publication after all, but shall we say there was only one thing Porter looked for in a woman and that was a pulse. A great run down on his private and public and musical life.
“Shania Twain: The Biography” Robin Eggar 370 page soft back $10
“Shelter from the Storm: Bob Dylan’s Rolling thunder Years” $18 2010 soft cover by Sid Griffin. Revolves around the tour and his “Desire” album. Has interviews with likes of McGuinn. 254 pages doesn’t quite reflect the detail of the content.
“Singing in the Saddle: The History of the singing Cowboy” by Douglas B Green. $35 large hardcover. Ranger Doug of Riders in the Sky was a noted writer before adapting his stage personae and he went back and did this definitive book. Everything about this is great.
“Southern Music / American Music” Bill C Malone & David Stricklin soft cover 236 page Great cross genre book with fascinating stories about the young Bessie Smith, through Jimmie Rodgers and even Iris Dement & Lucinda Williams. $15
“Stonemans: An Appalachian Family and the Music Which Shaped Their Lives” Ivan Tribe soft back 361 pg $20
