An overlooked gem by the great Charlie Rich – an album recorded for Hi Records in the years before he broke big on Columbia in the late 60s – but at a level that certainly points the way towards his country fame to come! And yet, as with most of the best music by Rich – like his ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The seminal first album from Jeannie C Riley – a record that may have been launched with a novelty hit in the lead, but which also marks Riley as a surprisingly strong singer overall! Part of the record's charm is the groovier than mainstream Nashville presentation of Shelby Singleton's ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of Tex Ritter's finest moments – a very eerie take on the cowboy genre – with titles that include "The Face on the Barroom Floor", "Boll Weevil", and the title track. Beautiful color illustration on the cover, and nice Capitol sound on the album. LP, Vinyl record album

Scott Seskind —
Scott Seskind ... LP Scott Seskind/Everland (Austria), 1985. New Copy (reissue)...
$24.9936.99
A really weird, really moody sort of record – one that was issued in the mid 80s, but by a guy who seems to think that he's still working in the singer/songwriter generation of the late 70s! For Scott Seskind, punk and new wave never happened – as the songs here are personal, heartfelt ... (Rock, Folk/Country)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Wonderful work from Dorothy Shay – a very unusual singer for her time, and in a backwards way, almost a force in mainstreaming country music in later years! As the title implies, Dorothy's a bit of a "Park Avenue Hillbilly" – in that she sings country themes, but in a style ... (Vocalists, Folk/Country)read moreLP, Vinyl record album

You won't find Joyce Street in the Country Music Hall Of Fame, but she's the kind of singer who definitely could have been huge, had she ever hit the big time – yet maybe one who's even more fascinating on this series of singles recorded for a variety of small labels in the 70s – all ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

(BMG Direct Marketing pressing. Includes the printed inner sleeve.)
A heck of a discovery – early recordings Townes Van Zandt cut in mid 60s Nashville – a couple of years before his official solo debut, and a soul shakingly beautiful mix of his country folk blues storytelling and some more rollicking numbers that work exceptionally well!

Fresh Air ... LP Polydor, 1970. Very Good Gatefold ...
$2.994.99
Totally great work from White Lighnin – a group with a bluegrass duo at the core, but who are open to all sorts of great country rock touches!

Roots ... LP Blue Hour, 1971. Very Good+ ...
$24.99
An obscure album by a group from Milwaukee – recorded at a time when that city didn't have much of a scene at all – which left these guys to perform in a coffee house for all the songs on the album!

Ride The Wind ... LP Warner/Raccoon, 1971. Near Mint- ...
$9.9911.99
Beautiful work from the Youngbloods – a mixture of folk rock and jazzy phrasing, very much in the same spirit of Tim Hardin or Tim Buckley, with a depth and complexity that's quite surprising, and which has held up surprisingly well over the years – almost more appealing now than when ...

You might know Ace Records as home to a fair bit of jazz, funk, and soul reissues over the years – but right from the start, the label's also had a keen ear for rockabilly – and can boast a decades-long devotion to the music, with releases that have really blown us away!
