This is what Rock'n'Roll Deke says on his homepage:"Here it is, believe it or don't, a "Deke Dickerson's Greatest Hits" package! I never thought I would see the day, but this is it and I'm very proud to present to you the best tracks from my years with HighTone Records. Of course, everybody has their own ideas about what songs should have been on this set, but these are my picks -- "the director's cut" if you will. There is a wide selection of tunes from all three of my HighTone albums, along with a bonus cut of "Muleskinner Blues" to sweeten the pot. There are crowd favorites like "Mexicali Rose" and "Red Headed Woman," along with songs I've never performed live but that I'm very proud of, such as "Where to Aim."
I've been on the road full time since the first HighTone album came out, so it all seems like a blur rolling by me at 80 miles per hour on the highway, but looking back on this music, I'm very proud of what I did, with much appreciation to all the different Ecco-Fonics, Mark Neill's producing skills, and of course the great guest artists like Claude Trenier (R.I.P.), the Calvanes, and others.
I think this is the best of the best, and I hope you enjoy it too! See you on the road!" - from: http://www.dekedickerson.com/discography.htm

RYP - Thanks for this. I was hoping that the wheel would stop on Deke one of these days. What a performer!

Blues music had long been an important part of Jackson’s history, beginning with furniture store owner H. C. Speir, who moved his business onto Farish Street in 1925. Speir was interested in music and scouted for local talent. In those days, furniture stores sold record players, and their owners sometimes promoted local artists as an inducement for people to buy the record players. Speir ran a sideline business making test recordings; he made several of some now famous blues artists such as Ishmon Bracey, Tommy Johnson, Charley Patton, and Skip James. He provided the means and connections to have their songs recorded by Victor and Paramount after they auditioned for him in his furniture store. He similarly assisted with the early careers of Willie Brown, Son House, and Robert Johnson by recommending them to labels like Vocalion. Speir closed down his music business in 1944 during the musician union’s strike against the major record companies.
Deke is coming next week to the Rockin' Race Jamboree in addition to the Blasters, J.D. McPherson, Paladins, straitjackets, and many more In Torremolimos Malaga, Spain
Thanks very much for this RYP. Great to hear some Deke.
