"Third Man Records’ live direct-to-acetate recordings take place in the Blue Room in Nashville, TN and are cut exclusively on a 1955 Scully lathe that originally came from King Records in Cincinnati. Recorded live in one-shot, with no overdubs, no redo's, no starting-and-stopping, the process is truly of another time, rendered obsolete by the late 1950's and only available nowadays in TMR's locations in Detroit and Nashville."

Have you got it Shane?

Just picked it up last week Dermot. Love John's voice. Melancholy but that suits my mood currently. Was someone Lorraine liked too.. some of his stuff is reall punch in the heart stuff but in a good way

A lovely compilation lp, thanks Dermot

More cool stuff from The Muscle Schoals, Alabama area

I have that here, haven't listened to it in a looong time, I must dig it out.

You’re welcome Shane. Wait until the next two 😉

This album was mentioned in passing a little while ago. Here’s two tracks from the album. Anyone recognise that sweet and ballsy guitar sound?

Simply Red… Picture Book

I love Otis Spann, what a voice and what a piano player. The "real" Fleetwood Mac backing him. I know I've mentioned it before but I stll laugh at an interview Rory Gallagher did with RTE in the '80's where he referred to the post PG (and I suppose Rumours era) Fleetwood Mac as Cinzano Music. One of the first real exposures to Blues for me as a young lad was Blues Jam at Chess. What an eye opener. Still love Peter Green's playing

This is a short but very attractive album with very engaging music and music making. It is the third time that I have listened to this album recently and I will no doubt return to it again. There is a broad sonic spectrum on offer here and I find it to be a good mix between acoustic and electronic music.

Beautiful sleeve. Very unusual name. Sounds intriguing….

Definitely worth a listen.
