Title: great discovery!
Product review: This is yet another one of those "how did I miss this?" albums. Great stuff that somehow slipped through the musical cracks. Thanks to Bear Family for a great reissue. I had never would have heard about this if it wasn't for a mention in MOJO magazine last year. Sounded intriguing, so I took a chance on it, before ever hearing a single song. This definitely exceeded my expectations. I thought it would be mostly country or folk, by Jim Ford crosses all sorts of musical genres, even dipping into soul/R&B (a couple of great tunes with Bobby Womack) and pop (one song that Nick Lowe later covered). Several songs that coulda/shoulda been hits. All in all, a very interesting collection. I opted for this over getting the "Harlan County" album reissue (all of which, I believe, is included here) and I'm glad I did. Some classic tunes here.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
