Wilma Lee Cooper ~ Classic Country Favorites (1996)

This CD compilation features almost all of her two albums recorded for Rebel except for two tracks from each album. I've included these two tracks in a separate folder, two sourced from a digital download and the other two sourced and restored from vinyl.

Walter Brennan ~ Old Rivers (1962)

Despite Walter Brennan's questionable (to say the VERY least) political views, I love the stuff he did for Liberty. I believe the single "Old Rivers" was a #1 for him.

Jeannie C. Riley ~ When Love Has Gone Away (1973)

Her third album for MGM. For some reason, the last two tracks were recycled from what were her two previous albums.

Kitty Wells ~ The Queen of Country Music (1993)

Her complete recordings, 1949-1958. It's sad that besides what's in this set and the exception of a few later tracks on compilations, MCA has never put out anything more of hers on CD or digital.

Glenn Ohrlin ~ The Hell-Bound Train (1971)

Most of this album was recorded live at a concert he gave for the University of Illinois Campus Folksong Club on December 14, 1963. This was pressed poorly on cheap vinyl and this is the cause of the less than stellar sound quality.
