ebay jukebox Vol. 26

As I search & collect the tracks to make up these collections...it's usually a crap-shoot as to what is available at any given time. I usually make the volume & start another. This one, I believe..has some great selections. Marvin Rainwater's best..."Hot and Cold" , Mel Robbins' - "Save It" (first heard by me when The Cramps covered it) and the sure rare 45rpm.."Lorraine" by Buddy Covelle. Give a listen...and find your favs!!

Talk to the Ladies

Here's a good compilation of female artists that came out in 1991. I probably snagged this one on TZ awhile back...thanks to the original uploader.

Getting back to ebay collections. This vol. touches several styles (again) to keep things interesting.

ABC Paramount Rockers

Here's a nice compilation of rockers/rockabilly sides from the ABC PARAMOUNT & DOT labels. I snagged this one about 10yrs ago (probably from TZ) and recently fired it up & gave a listen. Thanks to the original uploader. There are some REAL gems here.

ebay jukebox Vol. 24

Getting back to the ebay treasure trove...one of the better collections...I believe. If Tommy & the Hustlers don't get you movin'...you might want to check your pulse!!

The Dream Continued

 As promised...the 2nd cd in this comp.  More great rarities.

Dreams Fulfilled

Super rare 78's compiled by some of the world's foremost collectors. I've been following Joe Bussard on YouTube for several years and have grown to really appreciate the early recordings of country blues and string band artists. So glad these sides have been shared for all to enjoy.

Chicken Shack Jukebox

A step back in history circa 1941 Clarksdale Mississippi. I found this info in the book “Escaping the Delta: Robert Johnson and the Invention of the Blues” by Elijah Wald. In the index there were lists of the records in the jukeboxes in various juke-joints at that time. This list was compiled by the Fisk University-Library of Congress team. This team included Samuel Adams, Lewis Jones , Alan Lomax and John Work. These lists, give us a chance to hear what was being played in the juke-joints at the time of the great country blues artists. Not all music listened to by these patrons was blues related. Many were focused on dancing. All in all..an interesting slice of American music history!

I have compiled from various sources (hence various bit-rates) two of the juke-joints visited. Presented here...is the first.
