I'm selecting my "Record of the Year" from choices of CD's I bought during the last 12 months. My selection only contains one new release. The rest are great recordings and reissues. BTW: I'm a glutton. I can't select just one. So here are several of the top choices in preferential order:
#1 Renegade Picker/No Place to Fall - Steve Young (dbl. album originally released in the late '70's)
#2 There is Always One More Time - Johnny Adams (The final album and a great one from the best singer ever to grace the "chitlin' circuit". Released in late 2000)
#3 Conciousness/Live - Pat Martino (dbl. album originally released in the early '70's)
#4 Sound of a Heartache - Johnny Bush (originally released in the '70's)
#5 Sunflower - Milt Jackson (originally released in the early '70's)
#6 Sultan of Slide - Uncle Josh Graves (released in late 2000)
#7 Green Snakes - Johnny Bush (new release) The first 3000 copies also contain an additional CD of an early demo session with Johnny on vocals, Willie Nelson on guitar and Tom Morrell on steel guitar. Rough recording quality but very rare music.
Keep on pickin'!
