Out Of Stock
Glen Campbell takes on the music of Hank Williams – but in a way that often has the sort of dreamy haze that goes with the "I Remember" in the title! The songs are all Hank's, but the presentation isn't gritty honky tonk – and instead uses fuller backings with Glen's lead ... (Rock, Folk/Country)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Killer trucker country from the great Dick Curless! The set includes his classic "Tombstone Every Mile" – plus "Six Days On The Road", "Big Wheel Cannonball", "Hard Hard Traveling Man", "Long Lonesome Highway", "Drag Em Off The ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Amazing work from the great Bobbie Gentry – material recorded at the same time as her big Captiol Records hits in the US, but with a different vibe overall! Bobbie's singing here on a BBC show, one that ran for a number of episodes – and her backings are handled by the great John ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A key late 60s country crossover set, but one that also inspired a fair bit of funk as well! The title cut's a well-known gem – one that's been covered instrumentally in some break-heavy versions, but which sounds even more amazing here in Bobbie's original version – one of the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

If you don't know the music of Merle Haggard & The Strangers this record can serve as a great introduction.

(Mono rainbow label pressing. Cover has light wear.)
Prime Hag, recorded during his peak song writing years in the early 70s, and one of the better LPs recorded with the Strangers! Merle's in his gentler story song mode for much of the record, but with driving Bakersfield honky tonk sound to keep things moving at a tight clip. Haggard penned ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Lime green label pressing. Cover has light wear.)

A hell of a record from the great Merle Haggard – partly a tribute to the western swing pioneer Bob Wills, but also a fantastic demonstration of all the growth that Merle had undergone in such a short time! The songs are all Bob Wills classics, and they're interpreted here by a group that ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

One of the last Capitol Records albums that Merle Haggard issued – a bit of a tribue to Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell! Hank contributed the originals "Way It Was In 51" and "Goodbye Lefty" – and other titles include versions of the Hank Williams tunes "I Saw ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the fantastic early Capitol albums from the young Wanda Jackson – music cut when she was much more of a rockabilly artist than a country singer – with a raw vibe that maybe set a whole new standard for female work in postwar pop music! Jackson's as bold here as any of her male ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Titles include "Little Charm Bracelet", "Slippin", "Kickin Our Hearts Around", "My First Day Without You", "Tip Of My Fingers", and "Between The Window & The Phone". LP, Vinyl record album
A really fantastic album from Leo Kottke – the kind of 70s material that really set him apart from the rest, and which really gave him a special place away from the acoustic underground of the time! Kottke started out with a album on Takoma Records that was every bit as great a guitar ... (Rock, Folk/Country)read moreLP, Vinyl record album

(Canadian pressing from 1986. Cover has a cut corner.)
Probably the greatest record that the Louvin Brothers ever made – and a haunting batch of songs filled with death and disaster, sung in a crystalline harmony style by Ira and Charlie! Includes the oft-quoted "Kentucky", plus loads of other great ones, including "Take The News ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Hip folk rock steeped in psychedelia on Capitol – from towards the end of the 60s, with a sound touched by darkness and a marked lack of optimism that really sets it apart from earlier albums of the sort. Dylan-influenced and also the the duo and group folk style, paired with some ... (Rock, Folk/Country)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A repackaged version of the first Capitol album by Fred Neil – issued here under the title of the one tune on the album that became a hit, but not under Fred's version!

(Lime green label stereo pressing. Cover has a large cutout hole, edge wear, half split top seam, and a wide center split in the bottom seam.)
One of the rawest recordings made by Fred Neil – and a record we really love – featuring one side of live tracks, and another of unusual studio material!

A real classic from one of our favorite artists of the 60s! Fred Neil is best known to the world as the man who wrote "Everybody's Talkin", which was used excessively in the film Midnight Cowboy (although his version in the film was sung by Nilsson) – but he's a hell of a great ...

The earliest album that Buck Owens cut for Capitol Records – and a great little set that catches the legend just before he'd put his hit 60s style a bit more firmly in place! Here, Buck is coming across more as a rising talent from the Bakersfield clubs instead of the later chart-topping ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Limited mono VMP pressing on turquoise vinyl – #257/500.)
S*itloads of sweet-natured, aww shucks charm from Buck and the boys in Japan, and one of best country live albums ever, period!

(Mono rainbow label pressing. Cover has light aging, bumped corners, and some splitting in the bottom seam.)
Bakersfield genius Buck Owens is best known for his trailblazing, electric honky tonk sound (on top of hamming it up on Hee Haw), but by the late 60s and into the 70s the ever restless Buck tried on a number of different styles – including well known folk rock hits for this set! Rather than ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Colored vinyl reissue on Sundazed, still unopened in the stickered resealable sleeve.)
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
The first Capitol album from rocker Jack Scott, and a set that's full of original tunes that mark a bit of a turn towards country music! (Rock, Folk/Country)LP, 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
