Jim Ford 'You Just-A' (Full Version)
Jim Ford 'You Just-A' (Full Version)
Sly Stone called Jim Ford "the funkiest white man I know." He penned songs for a host of artists including Bobby Womack and The Temptations and in 1969 released an album called 'Harlan County' which sold poorly on original release. The wider public probably weren't ready for the experimental blend of country, soul, funk and Appalachian elements but the record has since been hailed as one of the greatest albums you've never heard. Two more albums for Paramount and Capitol were never released until Bear Family Entertainment did the world a favour in 2008 and put them out, along with a CD release of the Harlan County album with additional out-takes and bonus material.

Townes Van Zandt 'Black Widow Blues'
Townes Van Zandt 'Black Widow Blues'
A rare outing for songwriting genius Townes Van Zandt with full rock backing. The sheer cinematic vividness of his lyrics, coupled with his heart torn delivery never fails to resonate. This one finds Van Zandt in an uncharacteristically bullish mode, with "the blues sown into my jacket sleeve."
