Jimmie Davis had one of the most improbable careers in the history of American music: he recorded country blues, hillbilly, and gospel hits; he wrote one of the most enduring pop tunes of all time ("You Are My Sunshine"); he was elected governor of Louisiana twice, and he even starred in a handful of low-budget movies (one of which was based on his life story).This collection has 27 essential sides, tracing Davis' roots as a double-entendre blues singer. This music confirms Davis was not only one of the first great stars of hillbilly music, but among the best white blues singers of his generation. (Mark Deming, Allmusic)

Once you start with this stuff, there's no turning back. Thank you!
Northern Madman, Gyro, thanks for the 'Here Come the Girls' comps. I have to admit to being sniffy about both Brit 60s pop compared to US 60s pop and to Sequel comps compared to those from Ace/Kent. But after listening to two of these comps, I'm a lot less sniffy now!

Groove 'N' Grind; 50's & 60's Dance Hits (Rhino Cd 1990)
This dance-oriented collection of 18 tracks brings together records from the late 1950s and early '60s, the height of dancefloor mania until the dreaded coming of disco. Kicking off with Cannibal and the Headhunters' "Land of 1,000 Dances," the set also features great one-hit wonders like "Cool Jerk" by the Capitols, "The Loco Motion" by Little Eva, "The Jerk" by the Larks, and "C'mon and Swim" by Bobby Freeman. Also aboard are classics like "The Walk" by Jimmy McCracklin, "Georgia Slop" by Big Al Downing, "Harlem Shuffle" by Bob and Earl (later covered by the Rolling Stones), and "The Monkey Time" by Major Lance. (Cub Koda, Allmusic)

The Truth - A Step in the Right Direction; Singles, Demos, BBC Live 1983-1984 (2016)
• The Truth were formed by singer/guitarist Dennis Greaves, after the demise of his previous band Nine Below Zero in 1982, with guitarist Mick Lister, ex-9BZ bassist Brian Bethell, drummer Gary Wallace and organist Chris Skornia.
• Where Nine Below Zero were an out-and-out R&B band, The Truth were a more soulful entity, tapping into the vibrant Mod Revival scene on the back of The Jam’s demise in late 1982.
• Signing with WEA’s Formation label, The Truth charted with their debut single, the vibrant and uplifting ‘Confusion (Hits Us Everytime’), which reached No. 22 in May 1983. The follow-up, ‘A Step In The Right Direction’, peaked at No. 32 that August. A third single, ‘No Stone Unturned’, was released in February 1984. The band then signed with I.R.S.
• Very few of the dozen or so Truth tracks (spread across various formats) have ever been reissued on CD. Until now!
• A Step In The Right Direction is the first-ever retrospective of The Truth’s early recordings, boasting not only their entire output for Formation but also two further discs of live material and a handful of previously unheard demos!
• Disc 2 combines two BBC concerts which were broadcast at the time; Disc 3 finds The Truth in full effect at the famous Marquee, a venue which Nine Below Zero had made their own. Many of these concerts boast songs which the band never issued on vinyl.

Joe Egan - Out of Nowhere (1979 , Reissue 2016)
JOE EGAN shot to fame as partner with Gerry Rafferty in STEALERS WHEEL and jointly wrote Stuck In The Middle With You as well as writing Star. The band broke up in 1975 and he commenced work on his solo album Out Of Nowhere which was not released until 1979 because he was contractually not obliged to release any recordings for three years after Stealers Wheel split up. Out Of Nowhere was produced by Grammy nominated songwriter and producer DAVID COURTNEY who said The album reflected where Joe was at this time of life and career following on from his split with Gerry Rafferty which I felt was evident in some of his lyrics. A classic album now available for the first time on CD.

Bruce Robison & The Back Porch Band - Bruce Robison & The Back Porch Band (2017)
Bruce Robison has the most amiable personality in country / Americana music today. He’s an “aw shucks” kind of guy, but regular enough that he’s not afraid to curse or drink too much or smoke ‘em if he’s got ‘em. He wears his family values on his sleeve: he has sung with his rowdy and talented brother Charlie, and Bruce recorded his last two albums with his gifted wife, singer Kelly Willis. Bruce goes it alone this time for the first time in almost ten years, although he’s joined by a batch of friends and players (including Willis) nominally known as the Back Porch Band.

Garland Jeffreys - 14 Steps To Harlem (2017)
Those who lamented the disappearing act of Garland Jeffreys, one of rock’s most compelling voices, must feel that his recent surge in activity (this is his third set since 2011 — the same total he racked up in the 15-year span from 1983-‘97), decidedly removes him from the where-is-he-now dustbin. Better still, the 73-year-old singer-songwriter’s burst of activity shows him in fine fighting form with music that continues exploring his past, a consistent theme throughout his career but even more pertinent as he enters his final stretch.
He’s unlikely to top 1977’s still-classic Ghost Writer or 1981’s Escape Artist breakthrough (recorded with members of the E Street Band, Graham Parker’s Rumour and Reed guesting) anytime soon. But if Garland Jeffreys can keep cranking out music with the quality, hard-bitten authenticity and integrity of the impressive 14 Steps to Harlem, perhaps he can attract new fans to explore his earlier work while he makes up for lost time.
