A triple-length set – one that brings together two classic Charly Records compilations! The bulk of the set is from the great 2LP collection Mr Joe's Jambalaya – an amazing collection of New Orleans soul from the legendary Minit and Instant labels – both imprints under the guidance of producer Joe Banashak – the "Mr Joe" in the title! The work here includes a good number of lesser-known gems from the Crescent City – mixed in with a few key classics that are really well-chosen numbers that illustrate the kind of important influence that New Orleans would have on soul music for generations to come! Grooves are mostly gritty, with more than a few hints of funk in the mix – and there's plenty of tracks that are filled with that tripling rhythmic mode that was quite specific to New Orleans at the time. Titles include "I Need Money" by Lee Dorsey, "The Sad One" by Eddie Lang, "The La La Man (part 1)" by Oliver Morgan, "Go Back Home" by Allen Toussaint & The Stokes, "Pass The Hatchet (part 1)" by Roger & The Gypsies, "It Will Stand" by The Showmen, "I'm Gonna Put Some Hurt On You" by Raymond Lewis, "In The Night" by Chucik Carbo, "Green Door" by Eskew Reeder, "Something You Got" by Barbara George, and "Beverly Baby" by Allen & Allen. The remaining third of the package is from the collection Loaded Down With The Blues – another compilation of Joe Banashak recordings, but one that focuses a bit more on gritty, bluesy material – mostly from the late 50s and early 60s. Titles include "Tight Like That" by Edgar Blancahrd, "Loaded Down" by Matthew Boogie Jake Jacobs, "Way In The Middle Of The Night" by Nolan Pitts, "Ain't Broke Ain't Hungry" by Polka Dot Slim, "Moanin & Screamin" by Diamond Joe, and "Nervous Condition" by The Pitter Pats. 2CDs, and 46 tracks in all! © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.

The Temprees - Dedicated To The One I Love 72-74 @320
Led by the late Jasper "Jabbo" Philips' sweet falsetto, the Temprees excelled at singing heart touching sweet southern jerkers. Representative of that infectious sound are "Dedicated to the One I Love," "If I Could Say What's on My Mind," and "I Love You, You Love Me." Jabbo forsakes the falsetto for a natural tenor similar to the Newcomers' Bertram Brown on "Your Love Is All I Need," the mid-tempo "I Love, I Love," "You Make Me Feel So Good Baby," and James Taylor's "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight/A Love Song." Mid and ups flow with their sugary ballads to provide a more even and enjoyable set than their The Best of the Temprees' compilation. (Allmusic)

Jim Croce - Definitive Croce (2015) @320
Jim Croce was a supremely gifted singer-songwriter who, in the space of little more than a couple of years, released three big-selling albums. Tragically his life was cut short by a plane crash in September 1973 when was just 30 years old and at the peak of his career. He left behind a small but important body of work that sounds as fresh and vibrant now as when it was recorded. There’s genuine character, warmth, and sincerity in these songs. His best loved songs are all included on this 2CD set including ‘Time In A Bottle’, ‘Operator’ and ‘I’ll Have To Say I Love You In A Song’.

Judy Henske & Jerry Yester – Farewell, Aldebaran '69 @320
Timely reissue of this late '60s folk/psych classic from husband and wife team Jerry Yester and Judy Henske. Yester had previously enjoyed an element of fame courtesy of his stint with The Loving Spoonful, but following the band's demise in 1969, he set about producing this little gem with acclaimed folk singer Henske and a bunch of pals which were said to have included Ry Cooder and David Lindley. Farewell Aldebaran, which is often heralded as one of the most proficient and creative albums of its genre, with Henske's incredible range of vocal styles (during her short solo career she had effortlessly made the transition from comedian to folk singer and then onto an accomplished rock singer) elevating the album to a higher plane. Her mind-blowing vocals on the opening track, the hard-fuzz "Snowblind," gives an early clue to Henske's talent.

The Bellfuries - Just Plain Lonesome '01 @320
I had not been as excited about a band live since the days when High Noon, Big Sandy, Dave and Deke, and Go Cat Go were in their heyday back in the 1990's, but then I saw these guys at the Round Up in Austin and I found myself pumped up. This band to me goes right up there next to the great modern American rockabilly bands. They found the pulse of rockabilly, were very tight as a band, and had a unique sound that jumped out at you. You would not mistake them for anyone else. I am sad to hear they are no more and I will leave off by saying that this is a must have CD. (Byron Crump, Amazon)
Interesting to see my Amazon review at the top of this, am I famous now LOL.
The band has come back but really changed a lot.
I still feel they were something different and special when this was released. I had not felt that excited about a band since the first time I heard Dave and Deke when they were in town with Big Sandy and High Noon in the early 90's.
I HAVE NOT SEEN A ROCKABILLY BAND SINCE THAT HAS REALLY CAUGHT ME LIKE THESE GUYS DID.
Big Sandy, The Planet Rockers, High Noon, Dave and Deke were the standards to me in the wave that hit in the 90's and The Bell Furies are so far the only band I can put with those others since. They all had something that made them better than average. A lot of good bands still play today, but only certain ones really stand out and stand the test of time. (Byron Crump, 2011)

The Bellfuries - Palmyra '08 @320
Pulling together roots rock and pop has never been easy, but The Bellfuries do it with smart gusto. The opener “Welcome to the Club” has the right blend of guitar and rockabilly beat with catchy melody sure to please fans of Rockpile and Dave Edmunds. The merseybeat rythyms of “Sung by Someone Lonely” has a bit of Elvis Costello flavor as well as a little early Beatles, with really impressive guitar work. The simplicity and honesty of early rock and roll is the appeal on another standout “Give It Get It” complete with handclaps and flowing vocal harmonies over a great bassline. This melting of genres gives the album instant ipod appeal and the even the Hollies-light “Cheerleader” packs a strong pop punch. Another great song is “There could only be one you for me” with impressive chord and time signature changes that is comparable to Bleu and Mike Viola. Even lead vocalist, Joey Simeone sounds a little like Mike Viola on shuffling jangle of “This Love Ain’t So Bad.” “Big Surprises” also sounds a bit like Costello, but with more energy and force than the other tunes, and it never gets dull even at over 4 minutes. Other songs don’t reach these heights, but they come close. The ballad “The Only Ghost There is Me” is the only misstep here with violins and low organ, sounding like it belongs on a different album, with a tone closer to Gerry and The Pacemakers. “All My New Friends” fairs much better as a mid-tempo tune. But even this doesn’t take the shine off a brilliant album. The musicianship here is flawless and “Palmyra” sounds like both a cohesive album and a compilation of hit singles. No filler here and after a few more listens the hooks on these tunes draw you in all over again. If that doesn’t deserve a Top Ten nod, I don’t know what else does. (Powerpopaholic)

The United States of America – The United States of America '68 @320
Originally released on Columbia in 1968, The United States of America is one of the legendary pure psychedelic space records. Some of the harder-rocking tunes have a fun house recklessness that recalls aspects of early Pink Floyd and the Velvet Underground at their freakiest; the sedate, exquisitely orchestrated ballads, especially "Cloud Song" and the wonderfully titled "Love Song for the Dead Che," are among the best relics of dreamy psychedelia. Occasionally things get too excessive and self-conscious, and the attempts at comedy are a bit flat, but otherwise this is a near classic. (Richie Unterberger, Allmusic)

@Gyro1966. A couple weeks ago, I put up the Bellfuries Palmyra as a three part WAV post, so I'm guessing that where you got it?
exooregon - I couldn't remember who shared the album of The Bellfuries, but thanks! I haven't played it yet, but I'm sure you probably know that I can't keep up - I'm trying to play everything shared here, but it's summertime and it's not easy to find the time right now.
Thanks
