I narrowed it down from 300 songs to 30. There could always be a Volume Two down the line.
This mix covers rockabilly, doo-wop, Cajun, swamp pop, garage rock, R&B, country, bluegrass and blues, as well as Dolly Parton's very first single, recorded when she was 13. Every track a winner in my book, for one reason or another.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI'd be hard-pressed to think of another of your mixes that I've more looked forward to. Thanks!

This could be a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteCaptain Al
Looks like fun-- thanks.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Sal. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteClarence Garlow is one of those guys that was just so criminally overlooked.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant. Thank you. Perfect for a shitty day.
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing, but, y'all, Lake Chuck is r o u g h....I'll stop at Lafayette, with quick hits up to Opelousas or down to New Iberia or Morgan City. Def stop before you go over into Lapland (Beaumont, Orange, Port Arthur).
ReplyDeleteLake Chuck was rough before the last hurricane. Last time I was there was about 6 years ago, and it was 3rd worldish.
DeleteThanks, Sal!
ReplyDeleteVery much appreciated, thanks, Sal!
ReplyDeleteRandy

Just finished. It's the bomb. It's really the bomb. Bring on Volume 2.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sal, one of my favourite labels.
ReplyDeleteAwesome indeed. Thanks so much. Vol. 2 please
ReplyDeleteAll unfamiliar names except. . . Dolly Parton? How'd she get in here? (Though she's welcome anywhere, right?) High hopes for this mix. Thanks.
