Buddy Miller-Universal House of Prayer (or anything w/his name on it)
Mary Gauthier- Mercy Now
Ray Charles- the Complete Country & Western Recordings
Waylon Jennings- Waylon Live (Expanded)
Rosanne Cash - Black Cadillac
Ray Wylie Hubbard - Growl
Tony Joe White, Best of / (also) The Heroines
Delbert McClinton - Cost of Living
Dan Penn - Do Right Man
Kris Kristofferson - Silver Tongued Devil and I / Me & Bobbie McGhee (contains four stone hits: title track, Help Me Make It Through the Night, Sunday Morning Coming Down, For the Good Times . . . how many debuts top that?)
Nick Lowe - the Impossible Bird
A lot of this, of course, has as much to do w/unvarnished soul as it does with country or rock (and roll) . . . the best of it falls through the cracks we know as genres or radio formats! (The Beatles, I Don't Want To Spoil the Party, George's guitar break on ALL MY LOVING, among other Fabbers) . . . caught me in an expansive (dig this) mood.
