James Burton gave his guitar talents to many over the years – but here he stands strongly in the lead – on a cool set of instrumentals issued at the start of the 70s by A&M! The album's a bit unusual for the label at the time – as it was recorded in Nashville, with production ... read more CD

American Recordings ... CD American, 1994. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Johnny Cash's first record for Rick Rubin's American Recordings label – and a late career reviving masterpiece for the great, distinctly American legend.

Cash's fourth volume of stark, sparely-arranged studio recordings for producer/set list provider Rick Rubin.

Just Sunshine/Light In The Attic, 1971. New Copy ... $14.99 15.99
An underground classic from Karen Dalton – a record that's almost out of time, given its early 70s release – as Karen sings with spare backings that are almost in a Folkway Records mode at points, but with all these headier currents that are also indicative of the Bay Area generation ...

Columbia, 1969. Used ... $1.99
Dylan's wonderful foray into country rock – the great Nashville Skyline!
