"White Country Blues" 1926-1938 A Lighter Shade Of Blue

White Country Blues 1926-1938: A Lighter Shade of Blue is an excellent, revealing 48-track, double-disc collection culled from the Columbia, American and OKeh vaults. All of the material on this double-disc set was recorded by country artists that drew heavily from the blues, whether it was incorporating the genre into their own compositions or covering blues and hokum songs. Though there are several stars, such as Roy Acuff, many of the performers on White Country Blues are obscure, especially for listeners whose knowledge of country music stops at Hank Williams. That is one of the many reasons why White Country Blues is invaluable. It's a thoughtfully compiled and thorough historical reissue that presents a wealth of rare, fascinating material. It remains an essential purchase for any comprehensive country collection. (Thom Owens, Allmusic)trax disc 1:

Little Johnny Taylor - Greatest Hits 1963-1968 Galaxy

The gospel-tinged and decidedly soul-inflected 1963-1968 blues sides of Little Johnny Taylor on Galaxy Records benefitted from marvelous horn-powered arrangements by Ray Shanklin that brilliantly pushed Taylor's melismatic vocals. Naturally, the impassioned "Part Time Love" is included, along with the Bobby Bland-tinged mid-tempo groover "You'll Need Another Favor," a delicious "Since I Found a New Love," and the blistering "You Win, I Lose." Seventeen tracks in all, many of them bolstered by Arthur Wright's stinging guitar. (Bill Dahl, Allmusic)

1 Part Time Love
2 I Smell Trouble
3 Zig Zag Lightning
4 You'll Need Another Favor
5 Double Or Nothing
6 Big Blue Diamonds
7 Somebody's Got To Pay
8 Darling, Believe
9 If You Love Me
10 I Know You Hear Me Calling
11 Sometimey Woman
12 You Win, I Lose
13 My Heart Is Filled With Pain

A collection with The Dickens' "Sho Need Love" - wow! The B-side of an obscure NRBQ-related single ("Don't Talk About My Music" is the A-side). Very very cool - thanks!
