"I always find it hard to buy a cd without knowing what's on it. For those in a similar mind set here are the titles:
1. I couldn't believe it was true (a live recording from the late 50's) 2.Night Train to Memphis 3.Weary Lonesome Blues 4. Wreck on The Highway 5. Pale Horse and his rider 6. Eyes are Watching You. 7.Steel Guitar Blues 8.Wabash Cannonball (the 1947 version) 9.Railroad Boomer (first time on cd I think) 10.Mule skinner Blues 11.The Southbound Train 12.Walkin in My sleep 13.Tennessee Waltz 14. The Automobile of Life 15.Honky Tonk Mamas 16.Freight Train Blues 17. Lonesome Old River Blues 18. Jole Blon 19.Fireball Mail 20.The Precious Jewel 21. Great Speckle Bird 22.Worried Mind 23. The Devil's Train. All the recordings except the first track are from the 30's and 40's.
Hope this helps. I wish Bear Family or Sony or someone else would release a complete selection of Roy Acuff's Columbia recordings. Until then this will fill a few holes."
