I was so convinced that it wasn't going to appear in fact that I compiled my own Volume 2....and 3 and 4.
We had some fun on this site trying to second guess what Charlie would put on these compilations. Some songs came through very strongly but it's interesting how we all remembered Honky Tonk slightly differently. Of the 25 tracks listed in this compilation only 5 have featured in my own 3 compilations. Great to see Travis Wammack in the list and Doug Sahm's Nitty Gritty. Also good to have Jona Lewie's The Swan available on cd though I'd have liked Piggyback Sue as well.
Charlie's thing was always about the running order, one track lending it's 'feel' to the next. This'll probably sound alright but surely there'd be a bit more fun in digging out some less successful, less readily available (already owned) tracks.
Thanks to Ace for putting it out. Was it a labour of love...a not-for-profit item?
