COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Is it good? submitted by Raven382 on June 24, 2019, 7:50pm I hope it is!

A huge collection of years often left out submitted by ccrose on August 31, 2019, 9:43pm The real thing, recorded at Sun Studio. Sam Phillips has set up Sun to record African American gospel which was rich in that neck of the woods.
If you collect Southern blues, listen to this one. There will be songs you haven’t heard because some were never recorded again.
