How's the sound quality on this? I've been a little leery of picking up Real Gone sets but I haven't heard enough of them to judge. Hopkins' music rules, obviously, and I am always open to adding quality reissues to my shelves!

One of my nephews is currently serving with his National Guard unit in Djibouti and this sucks. I've been worried about an escalation in Yemen's conflict, but now this seems like a different kind of deployment.

Not sure how much $ it generated in royalties, but I've always been partial to John Hammond's album of Waits songs Wicked Grin. Having Tom produce it seems appropriate rather than unseemly.

I was able to catch TW doing Frank's Wild Years as a one man at a Chicago theater last century (can't remember which one, on the North Side) and it seemed a summing up of...part of his persona? Quite unlike a concert performance!

"Peace" was the only random capitalization I saw.

I passed out praising Cold-blooded Tim during a drinking game where you drank a shot every time someone left their home and was gunned down. Twice!

Noted cannabis martyr, ie, he got busted for pot and spent 2 or 3 years in Louisiana prison where Eddie Shuler of Goldband Records recorded him!

Should it go without saying that Ray is Joey's father?

I remember falling into a weird early 70s whirlpool after rewatching this (Madigan, Prime Cut, etc). Smart procedural crime flick that's aged well.

God, I spent years in that store! I can still picture every record I'm kicking myself for not getting. Talked with Lux and Ivy there while they were going thru the rockabilly section the day after a Cramps show.

Unrelated, but I've been meaning to thank you for widening my horizons beyond snobbish action. I definitely would NOT have picked this up, and it's got crazy Yayan Ruhian in it being the Black Knight from Monty Python & the Holy Grail! Been giving myself permission to add more Conan, Statham, etc.

I am not finding anything online to back up the authenticity of this image.

Saw Sinners for the second time yesterday and marveled at how casually the Chinese-American business owners were woven into the plot. Nothing but authenticity.

There was a slight chance you liked C.G. Jung and your fingers slipped, looking it up made me nod my head ("makes sense")

Is this a new acquisition? (There's a great group on FB for collectors of cylinders and 78s)

And just to go deeper down the rabbit hole, Calvin Frazier's partner on the 1938 Library of Congress Lomax recordings is Sampson Pittman who had these same "Detroit blues" reissued as authentic Arkansas delta blues on the CD The Devil is Busy! Geographically headspinning!

Proud/embarrassed to say I was at his appearance at the Ann Arbor Jazz & Blues Festival and can't remember a thing about him. A whole Salute to Detroit Blues and I was passed out for most of it. Ah, youth.

Definitely Sonny Boy 2, I was just listening to those recordings but the hi-fi quality is pretty low. When I look at the recording details, it looks like Frazier and Williamson could even have been at the same sessions with Warren.
