Recorded live at the Trident in Sausalito, CA. Written by Rodgers Grant , Jon Hendricks, and Pat Patrick. A cover version of this was a hit for Georgie Fame in the U.K.

Written by Mose Allison and found on his first album recorded for the Atlantic label. A song about best-laid plans gone wrong.

Composed by Sonny Burke and Paul Francis Webster. This song was also covered by Peggy Lee and Ella Fitzgerald.

This is an excerpt from Gordon Jenkins' second dream for those of you keeping track of the dreams of Gordon Jenkins. Recorded in 1954 and more than vaguely reminiscent of Folsom Prison Blues which is why Johnny Cash had to pay Gordon Jenkins a large sum of money. Sung by sung by Beverly Maher. Thanks to author and music reviewer Barry Mazor for making me aware of this many years ago.

Written by Percy Mayfield and originally released as a single b-side ("The River's Invitation" was the a-side) on the Specialty label in 1953.

Demo version of the Percy Mayfield song recorded circa 1960. Ray Charles had a huge hit with this in 1961.

This 2021 collection features all the original mono single versions recorded by Dusty Springfield and released by Atlantic. Written by Kenny Gamble, Theresa Bell, and Jerry Butler and recorded in 1969. Another one arranged by the great Thom Bell. Highly recommended.

Welcome to the seventh song I've played off this album in the last seven weeks. Written by Nick Waterhouse and guitarist Anthony "Doc" Polizzi. Go get it!

Her first album since 1994. This album is made up of both pop and gospel songs. This is the lead-off track and the oft-covered Leon Russell composition is given a full-gospel treatment.

Gen was born in Ghana but has lived in Australia since age two. Good luck trying to pigeonhole him. Classified as rap but he veers into funk, soul-folk, and beyond.

Music bed. Instrumental composition by keyboardist and bandleader Delvon Lamarr.

This song by the Los Angeles-based band features the vocals of Cambodian-born Chhom Nimol and Zac Holtzman. " My girlfriend loves everything at the beach / Except the water, the sand and the sun."

Some notable things about this re-release of their 1970 album is that it contains the original song order of the album before it was changed for the official release by the record label and that it has been remastered and re-mixed by Bob Clearmountain. Some people will be happy about this and some people will not. But the best thing is that another disc captures a previously unreleased concert recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in June, 1971. The Band were at their peak at this time so this is a wonderful document and sounds really good even though it was only recorded on a four-track recorder.

This was Gregg Allman's final album and he knew it at the time it was being recorded at Muscle Shoals. He was in amazing voice for this and the album is made up of all cover versions of songs that, obviously, meant so much to him except for this one original that opens up the album. And what a moving and powerful song it is. Equals Warren Zevon's "Keep Me In Your Heart" in giving the listener an emotional gutpunch. Masterful.

Some homespun wisdom and love advice in the inimitable style of Joe Tex. Produced by Buddy Killen.

Cover version of a song previously recorded by The Stanley Brothers and written by John Brenton Preston. Strpped down to just the vocals of Lee Ann Womack and the guitar of Richard Bennett.

"I'm partial to old Hooker's singing / 'Crawling King Snake' / And I say that Muddy Waters / Is as deep as William Blake."

Lead vocals by Marc Chechik. All kinds of noteworthjy local artists on this album. John Higgins adds pedal steel, Andy Ploof adds mandolin, and Tom Townsend (RIP) adds piano to this track among others.

Recorded live in 2011. The vocals by Terry Evans and Arnold McCuller are so great. Accordion by Flaco Jimenez rounds out this sublime version of the soul classic written by Dan Penn and Chips Moman.

Alright, as it should be. All the syrupy strings are gone so you get to hear the true essence of their voices together. Recorded in 1968. This 2018 8-CD set includes over 75 previously unreleased recordings including this one.

Bobbie Gentry grew up in Mississippi and this album draws from that. Written by Bobbie Gentry

Instrumental composition by Dale Watson and the guitarist on this album, Mario Monterosso. .rather unexpected that Dale Watson would release an album of all original instrumentals

Driving country title track written by Nikki Lane and Ryan Tyndell. She ought to be for a new album, soon.

Written by George Jones and Roger Miller. Nice to hear the rawer sound they possessed as a live band a couple years prior to their major label debut album.

Music bed. Instrumental composition by multi-instrumentalist (with emphasis on pedal steel) Jon Rauhouse.

Written by Roger Miller. Whoever had the idea to pair the voices of Dolly Parton and Alison Krauss, well, give them a raise.

C'mon, is there ever a time where you aren't happy to hear this song? Written by Roger Miller and recorded in Nashville in 1964 for the Smash label. Produced by Jerry Kennedy.

Written by Tom T. Hall and stripped down to just the majestic vocals of Solomon Burke backed by Buddy Miller on acoustic guitar and Byron House on upright bass.

Music bed. Instrumental composition by Bob Dylan.

2020 single by the singer-songwriter out of NYC.

Previously unreleased live recording from Wachovia Center, Philadelphia, PA, June 6, 2008.
