I just heard, listening to Doug's show, that OBJ died on May 29, 2005 in his hometown of Chicago. This prolific jazz songwriter-- an amazing and important personality--was 78. |

Beautiful cover of a sweet Dolly Parton song |
| James Burton & Ralph Mooney |
Elusive Dream
|
In 1968, these superb players put out an album-- "Corn Pickin' and Slick Slidin'"-- that had this Tammy Wynette number. They sure can play but, for the most part, the album is way too corny and slick! |
| Modern Sounds |
Long Gone Lonesome Blues

An album of Hank Williams covers, "in modern rock-acid sound"-- no musicians listed, no dates, no info. Very wierd. |
