Stoned, Slow, Rugged

20130721-130755.jpg

Top Left: Will Barnes, Texas Music in My Blood.  Recorded in 1975 at Autumn Sound Studio in Garland, TX.  This recording was the first and last release for Barnes who was a staple in the honky-tonks and dance halls in and around Dallas in the 70’s.  Drinking songs about Dallas? Yes please. This record is in great shape and a super rare find.

Bottom Left: Dolly Parton, Love Is Like A Butterfly.  Released in 1974 and the 14th studio release by Parton. The single, “Love Is Like A Butterfly” was her signature song for years previous to the album release.  Album is in great condition, cover is near mint.

Top Right:  Rusty Wier, Stoned, Slow, Rugged.  An obscure country outlaw gem, he walked a thin line between southern rock and country music, never truly conforming to either genre hence limiting his commercial success. This was Wier’s debut album released in 1974 on ABC, a must have for any country collector. Its very tough but homey at the same time.  Vinyl is in near mint condition with some ware on the cover.

Bottom Right:  Waylon Jennings’ Honky Tonk Heroes.  Excluding “We Had It All” all of the songs were written or co-written by Billy Joe Shaver.  Recorded in the spring of 1972, this was a pivotal album in the development of “outlaw country”.  Reluctant to release the “rock injected country”, RCA delayed the release until the summer of 73.  Record and cover are both in great shape.

Rainy Day Blues

20130714-131140.jpg

Top Left: Dynamic Bobby Bland’s, Here’s The Man!!!  Produced in 1962, this was the first Duke album issued in stereo format.  This is a 1988 repress.  Its not the prettiest, but it plays fine! This album is not available on cd and has not been repressed or released since 88.

Bottom Left:  An RCA Legendary Performer Collection, this is a great Woody Guthrie compilation, documenting his finest “Dust Bowl Ballads”. Released in 77, this issue is in great shape with slight discoloration on the cover, but still includes original booklet insert filled with great photos.

Top Right:  Arkansas Trap, one of George “Harmonica” Smith’s few solo releases, shows his strong admiration for the style of Little Walter. Known mostly for his collaborative work with many of the greats like Muddy Waters, his solo work is also a great, rare find. Released in 1971 on Dream (London Records), this is a promo copy in good condition.

Bottom Right:  Robert Johnson, King of the Delta Blues, was not recognized as such until this 1961 re release on Columbia, allowing his music (recorded in 1936-37) to reach a wider audience for the first time. Now recognized as a master of blues, Johnson died at 27 before his time. This copy in good condition, a must have for any serious blues collector.
